Sarkisian commits his second infraction

SEATTLE — The University of Washington is self-reporting to the Pac-10 Conference a second minor violation this month by new coach Steve Sarkisian.

Huskies athletic director Scott Woodward said Thursday a violation occurred when Sarkisian and defensive coordinator Nick Holt met with two high school seniors and their coach last week in Los Angeles. A reporter from the Los Angeles Times and a junior teammate of the two players were also present.

The Times reported Wednesday the meeting with Jordan High School senior James Boyd, a quarterback and defensive end who has committed to Southern California, along with Jordan High coach Elijah Asante, senior Delvon Purvis and junior Deshawn Beck took place at a hair salon and then a coffee shop.

Washington acknowledged the NCAA does not permit coaches to have off-campus contact with recruits until July 1 prior to their senior year. It is also forbidden to have contact with recruits in the presence of media.
