Sorry --shotgundawg... probably more than you wanted to know....
A compact among thieves. MSU Boosters are working among the Boosters of other programs, it's just the way of the world in HS recruiting. If you're a MSU Booster and you're rubbing shoulders with OM Booster, standing around locker rooms, sidelines, field houses at a high school in the midst of OM Boosters then it's likely you're pretty intimately involved in some of the same shenanigans that the OM Boosters are doing.

It may not be to the same extent or at the same level as the OM Boosters, but the MSU Booster is still running in the same circles and they are privy to the same conversations and have access to the same recruits. So why turn in a fellow Booster, when the tables could get turned on you? An agreement among thieves - one hand washes the other and they all keep it on the down low.

This happens all over college athletics, it's probably worse in the South where a high concentration of HS talent resides. But we've seen what happened at Oregon under Chip Kelly and USC under Pete Carroll and at USCe under Steve Spurrier. It's prevalent everywhere and 10 times worse in basketball recruiting circles, Callipari/Petino/Pearl/Roy Williams, etc.
