New NCAA rule bans coaches from subscribing to certain recruit-sites

[tornado]

if the subscription is required to get premium info and contact with recruits, then this action is banned...

it is likely to cause certain sites like Rivals.com to suddenly lose a lot of business...

too bad for them

too bad for them

In 2007 Yahoo acquired Rivals for 100 MILLION, 2 years after the initial bid of 25 MILLION.

I think this is a pretty ridiculous rule. All that information can be found elsewhere, now it will be the student managers job to scour other message boards.

but there are ways that by paying the "premium fee" certain coaches then special, arranged contact with recruits that is kept secret from NCAA scrutiny..

Man Tornado you are right...But jeez...How easy is this rule to get around...

Heck BU could come to and booster and say rather than your donation, please donate to this site or that site.

Wouldn't it be smart to remove regulations, rather than add...

just sounds like more government run amok
