we all have our gripes about the NCAA and some of the rules especially regarding recruiting
My question is, why is it against the rules for a coach to even breath the name of a recruit til they commit or sign on the dotted line? This seems so silly to me. Why is this a violation ? Why can't a coach talk about a high school or foreign player freely. Even if they might not be recruiting them? Why can't a coach or staff comment on what they like about a player's game or if the kid had a big night in a tournament say something about it? Is there any real,harm in this?
I go back to when Bruce Pearl got in trouble. We all know about the BBQ and cell phones ect. But now all the text rules have changed. They were outdated by like ten years when not everyone had a cell phone. As soon as coach K got in trouble for some texts, they changed the rule. Now we have social media ......do you think the rules are up to date? Kids can post pics or tweet but a coach can't say anything publicly about the visit.
Please enlighten me why talking about a recruit is so taboo. What are some of the other things you think are stupid, outdated or silly the NCAA has made
