Well, thank goodness the SEC put a stop to our dasterdly unfair recruiting advantages.

The Big Ten was the only P5 conference voting against, though. How much momentum is there really for a change back? Seems slim.

We don't know how those votes were carried out. My guess is that it was conference commissioners voting on behalf of the conference as a whole, which really means only voting on behalf of the vested interests of the top teams. If this vote was done per school and not per single representative per conference, I believe it would have turned out much differently.

It's amusing that Saban's argument is "these things don't even work, so why allow them?"

If they don't work, why oppose them?

I am so happy to see Saban is worried about Nebraska wasting money on something that doesn't work. What would we do without him?

It is just interesting that the NCAA takes a stand on this, but refuses to look into the shady recruiting practices of one of the biggest conferences in the P5...

That's a nonsensical comment from Shaw. Stanford logisticians will be quite disappointed.

You probably don't want to visit a women's shelter looking for a date either but that doesn't mean you become celibate instead.

That's pretty transparently "We don't feel we need to do it ourselves, so let's make sure nobody can." I think it captures the impetus behind the move.

I'm so glad this was fast tracked. Clearly it was a big NCAA priority. Kudos for taking care of the SEC; at least the benefits are falling on a conference widely known for its total lack of underhanded recruiting tactics.

Shaw is a prick, but his full statement was basically, "I don't have an opinion. Some people do them, some people don't. We've never felt the need to." It wasn't pro-ban or anything like that, it was just unnecessarily pretentious.

These coaches like Shaw and Saban have no clue how stupid they look making those statements.

Especially when I know some of my friends who went to Stanford on athletic scholarships aren't exactly Mensa candidates. God love 'em.

What??? I thought he was against them?


OH.....I get it now. It screwed up something good he had going on and he didn't realize it was going to.
