As I was reading the headline I was hoping to myself no one replied with "you play to win the game." Well done sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the NCAA is constantly pummeled in court, most of the rules are just for control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder the NCAA is constantly pummeled in court, most of the rules are just for control. The violations happened during a recruiting "dead period". https://www.ncsasports.org/ncaa-eligibility-center/recruiting-rules/dead-period "The most restrictive of all the recruiting periods is the NCAA Dead Period. During the dead period, coaches may not have any in-person contact with recruits and/or their parents. In other words, coaches are not allowed to talk to recruits at their college campus, the athlete’s school, an athletic camp or even the grocery store." "The goal of the NCAA Dead Period is to give athletes a little bit of time and breathing room to think about what school they want to sign with." It should be noted coaches can still call recruits and contact them through digital communications. If coaches are going to flaunt the rules, at least they should be smart about it. Taking pictures with the recruits was pretty 🤬 stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the purpose is to give players space if they want it then it should limit any communication off of the campus. These kids who are talented get literally dozens of text a day from colleges starting sophomore year- if not earlier- so the texting is not giving them a break.

I think you missed the point here. It was a dead period. The recruit should not have been on campus at all. 52 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said: If the purpose is to give players space if they want it then it should limit any communication off of the campus.

That's part of the reason why the NCAA gets in so much trouble. Their rules, regulations, and policies can be confusing, and make no sense. Enforcement? Don't even get me started.
