If they can get into trouble so easily for this then I am soon to become a OU and UT fan and contact their recruits to get the school in trouble. Really, the NCAA is just trying to weed out any cheating, but to a casual fan who doesn't follow recruiting that close, they would have no idea about this rule. It's really just there to keep the boosters away from forking out cash. Per this rule, when a recruit is seen at a game and people yell their name out of the crowd that would be wrong. Just really a stupid, overly detailed rule. JMHO Quote Link to comment

I'm coaching swimming at Keeston Terry h.s this year, and there is a good chance I will run in to him at some point. So am I not supposed to introduce myself, and tell him I'm from Lincoln?

C N Red Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's not a stupid rule necessarily, but just too overboard. I mean one reason a recruit should want to come to a school is because of the school's fans and passion. I understand what they are trying to do, but just say it! Boosters cannot give money, cars, planes, trips, strippers, prostitutes, etc to recruits or players. It's not that hard. And as much as the NCAA may hate it, the internet, messaging, phones, facebook, myspace is part of the world today and they are very much public domain. Quote Link to comment

I agree with what you are saying, but people are always looking for a loop hole and a way to expose it. Better to be way overboard than not specific enough. Quote Link to comment
father5 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 It's for the benefit of the student athlete. If the rule were less strict some would use it to take advantage of the athletes. More kids would end up taking extra benefits and such. It sucks that the side effects are that we can't be all gung ho as fans with prospective recruits, but the alternative is worse.

The point of that site is to be able to find, talk and make friends with people from all over.  Can’t blame a fan for contacting a recruit, when the recruit is putting himself out there.

That is why he gets paid the big bucks.  But what Bosnian did is little in comparison to how many problems Coach Richt cold get into if the NCAA finds this (hopefully for him it is not true). This story is spreading quickly on a LSU board. Quote Link to comment
