NCAA Passes Major Re-Vamp to Recruiting Rules
When is Baylor getting the Death Penalty?
This is all a joke unless the rules are enforced with penalties.
But won't the current unpleasantries at Ole Miss already provide Hugh Freeze with plenty of time with his family?
Why would SMSB be over? It's a camp hosted by HS coaches and the drills are ran by high school and some youth football coaches. It can be held at a high school again and not Wayne State. The camp is usually held the 1st week of June which is within the camping period. The college coaches can still come and watch the athletes, just can't run the drills.
I expect Harbaugh to counter by buying facilities in the south and holding a few UM practices there to bypass this rule
As for #7 oh yeah, the poor multimillionaire coaches need more vacation
How does it help high schoolers to deny them the chance to go to camps with coaches they otherwise might not get to interact with? Kids want to go to these camps. Jim Harbaugh wants to hold these camps. His less hard working competitors - people who lack his enthusiasm and love for football - can go on vacation if they want. Everyone won prior to this rule.
It punishes kids and Harbaughs and protects Hugh Freezes...
Warde Manuel had still been alive!
Warde Manuel doesn't have veto power over NCAA legislation? Fire his ass.
I'm still holding my breath for the day that the NCAA pens a "Mark Dantonio Rule" which requires head coaches to smile during press conferences at least once a week.
Thanks goodness. I thought the Dantonio rule was that you must coach a full season with a stick up your ass.
For the Dantonio rule to make any sense it would have to be something that he doesn't like,. and he obviously doesn't mind the feeling of a stick up his ass..... so
Apparently...competition shouldn't occur outside stadiums. Innovation and creative thinking are not welcome by the NCAA
Is there a limit on the number of players that a school can host on official visits?
Is there any rule prohibiting a visiting player from partaking in a school sponsored camp before, during or after said visit?
Could Harbaugh offer official visits to 50 under the radar type kids, from say Georgia, and have them attend camp at Michigan?
If the answer to the first two questions is no, I could see this as being a way around the satelite camp ban as official visits can now take place in June.
Nope. The athlete can only take 5 officials, but it's completely up to the school's budget on how many they offer.
Keep in mind, an official visit provides airfare, lodging, meals, and resonable entertainment to a recruit and two of their family members (sometimes they can get a waiver for four people if grandparents want to come). That cost adds up quickly, so usually they don't throw them around willy-nilly. Michigan does have a money advantage here, but if they start abusing it you can bet that'll be the next thing they vote on at NCAA meetings.
As far as unofficial visits, a recruit can pay their way anytime and as many times as they would like. The only stipulation is that they can't have contact with the coach if it is during the dead period (I believe it's the last week of June and first week of July for summer).

That's not accurate. According to the NCAA's most recent Division 1 manual, football teams can bring in 56 official visitors between August 1 and July 31.
13.6.2.6 Number of Official Visits—Institutional Limitation. The total number of official visits a member institution may provide prospective student-athletes in the following sports on an annual basis (August 1 through July 31) shall be limited to: [D] (Revised: 1/11/89, 1/10/91 effective 8/1/91, 1/11/94 effective 8/1/94, 11/12/97, 1/12/99 effective 8/1/99, 10/29/09, 4/28/16 effective 8/1/16)
(a) Football—56.
(b) Women’s Basketball—12.
(c) Baseball—25.
"The IAWP rules are effective immediately and retroactive to include contracts signed on or after Jan. 18, 2017."
We hired Antonio Richards somewhere around February 4th...so I guess that means we now cannot recruit anyone out of Prattville for the next 2-3 years until his kids cycle through?
I'm guessing that Georgia hired Isiah Wilson's coach(es) right about....Jan 17, 2017.
This seems like it will seriously limit the ability of high school coaches to move up. How often do high school coaches move directly to a college coaching position before first being in a support position? Also no successful high school coach will be without recruitable prospects. Now they can't even apprentice in some way before coaching in college unless it's with a program that isn't recruiting their players? How exactly are they supposed to make those professional connections? Oh yeah they meet college coaches through recruiting.
1) Sorry every D1 coach, you can't recruit my guys, I was hoping to move up in my career at some point.
2) Sorry parents I can't let these D1 schools recruit your kids it would hurt my career's upward mobility.
3) Sorry loving wife, my career prospects are limited because I can't get a college position since I put so much effort into getting all these kids recruited.

It is very obvious that with an even playing field in recruiting the south knows they will lose big time. Nick Saban is by far the biggest cunt there ever was in college football and so goes his toadies in the ncaa. I have no idea how one conference runs the ncaa but it is pathetic. Saban would never win with an even playing field and he knows it. Anyone who supports him as some great coach well you are just wrong. Even playing field....Miami Dolphins....loser of course. I have zero respect for a clown who is so scared of equal competition with equal players. The truth is obvious and that is Jim Harbaugh instils fear in Saban and the south, or is it just our team colors. It isn't General Sherman and the union army coming to burn your city to the ground.LOL. Obviously the money and time reserved for camps will now be spent on officials and the early signing period. I think they screwed themselves because the biggest sell in college football is Jim Harbaugh. Pro bowl player and coach and there are no others in college football. Meyer is either scared or no one wants him. Nobody wants saban as stated before. Michigan has more money than most and will bring in all of the kids they want on officials with their families interacting with the coaching staff and coach Harbaugh. They will spend more time directly recruiting the top players wherever they are. Saban please lose a few more and fade away because you, the sec and acc are just flat out pathetic with regard to open competition. How do you raise your kids. Son always cheat so you win. The rules are not for us and we have no honor and we follow our own rules or in this case make their own. Grown men with absolutely no morals or conscience. No better than criminals. Reminds me of a officiating crew.
