February Recruiting Thread

[Kazman5k]

The NCAA has the power of a middle school student council

I'm not sure how it ends up but Charlie Baker looks well positioned to make a run at Mark Emmert's dumbest administrator in sports championship

Glad they got that straightened out. Idk about you guys but that was definitely top of my list of recruiting concerns/infractions.

The member schools asked the NCAA for this rule. They had to book an extra night (in advance) to decorate rooms. This saves one night's hotel room cost per visit for all schools.

Not shooting the messenger but I mean…couldn’t they just choose not to? I guess I still don’t quite understand the need to get the ncaa involved

It’s like…well we don’t want to, so everyone should be barred from doing it

Interesting, I think it was something similar when they got rid of the photo shoots if I'm remembering correctly.

Ok. That's logical. I will save my rage rant against the NCAA for another day.

It’s the offseason, now isn’t the time to start being rational.

Allowing them to decorate rooms puts smaller schools at a disadvantage. Do you wanna be competitive? Then you’ve gotta participate in the arms race. Booking that extra night for every recruit who visits over the course of a season is a much larger hit to the budgets of the Toledos of the world compared to UNL.

Reason to break away #1657, IYAM IMO.

Can they really not figure out how to get in to the room an hour before the recruit to decorate it? Feels like these folks would run their lawnmower bone dry on gas and instead of filling it, they'd go out and buy a new one and bitch about how expensive mowing their lawn is

So you think this was the doing of only the smaller schools? While I understand every dollar counts for them, I think they have much bigger worries than paying for an extra night at a hotel

lol just don’t do it. Why a rule for this?

If you bring in 50 recruits per year, that’s around $10,000. Most of these schools are operating in, or close to, the red, so every penny does count.
