Interesting new rules coming this year. The two that struck me:

1. Cannot hire anyone associated with a recruit to a non coaching job two years before or after a recruit signs. Bye bye jobs for mommy and daddy in some bogus position....

2. Hard cap of 25 recruits per year. If a recruit backs out after signing day you cannot add someone to replace him. Bye bye over signing.

How many bowling coaches can you have?

Fire him! He fired Blo and I love that guy!
 
If that's the only reason they despise him, they don't have a leg to stand on. I'll tell them the same thing that I would tell the Hillary lovers out protesting. Its over. You lost. Move on. Deal with it.Grow up.
But he talked to their leader for 5 minutes at a lunch about 7 years ago!!!
Even Pope Osborne said he was a mistake, and those clowns continue to deny it.

Well, then, they need to get themselves some penguin gear and follow Bo. Stop acting like spoiled children throwing tantrums. Because NU will still be NU with or without them.
 
Unbelievable how those kids can post that on Instagram and nobody gets punished.. I know cheating exists..just never saw it as blatant in your face yeah I get paid . Something needs to change one way or another

1. It's too late plus, more than likely there's a loophole or two some will exploit.

2. Hard cap of 25 doesn't eliminate over-signing.
 
They are expected to follow these rules but can still pay players or hand out cars.

My problem with the SEC isn't that so many of the teams cheat, it's that there is an apparent double standard in how it is handled and that rather than at least winking in acknowledgement that their success is largely the result of cheating they spew crap about weather and demographics, etc.

I was wondering if the hard cap eliminates over signing. The article did not mention it, but I made the inference that it would. Can you explain why it doesn't? I guess I am misinterpreting what is meant by a hard cap of 25.

As for my first point, what loopholes are you thinking of?
Thanks
 
It eliminates signing 30, 31 players a class.
Huh? Not according to coachDubs above it doesn't. Signing 30 or so players, only to eliminate 5 or 6 of them later through bogus "medical leave" scenarios is classic over signing. I thought when I read about the hard cap at 25 that the NCAA was eliminating that practice. But.... there is the comment above from coachDubs, whose information is usually very accurate, that it does not end over signing.

I am confused

A hard cap of 25 over a 4-year period is 100 recruits signed. 85 is the max allowed so a cap of 25/class doesn't cut out over-signing.

It eliminates signing 30, 31 players a class.

Doesn't matter, see above.
 
There already is a supposed cap of signing 25 players. The article I read says if a signed player does not enroll, no substitute is allowed.

The problem to me is enforcement and punishment, or lack thereof.

Big Ten baseball was the same way (might still be, unsure), but it essentially added another hurdle when competing against other conferences. And in baseball, the impact is more profound because kids can go pro straight out of high school, but they sign their LOI's before the draft.

Actually upon thinking about it a bit, the preexisting rule is 25 scholarships versus 25 signers, so I wasn't looking at it the right way in the first post (I was wrong). Currently, it matters what year you assign the scholarship, an early enrollee could be counted against the previous year. Have 5 early enrollees and room for 5 in the previous year, throw in 25 scholarships for the current year, and you could bring 30 new players on board. Because it was about scholarship limits.

Signing and counting scholarships are two different animals. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and if it puts a hurdle in the way or blocks. It seems like the early enrollee thing blew up a few years back, but I'd have to reread because I don't remember the details.

It's fascinating to me that Eric Crouch has to Make restitution for a ham sandwich someone provided for him yet the information in the above link can circulate publicly and not one peep is heard from anyone on it including the NCAA.

The NCAA has been castrated imo. The backlash they received for the punishment they handed down to USC and tOSU and then how they botched UNC and Miami investigations. Top it off with the way pedo-u sent lawyers after them for punishing a bunch of child rapist protectors.

The NCAA wouldn't stand a chance against ESPN and the $EC. Which is why NOTHING has or will be done about Ole Mi$$. If they went after an $EC team, they would also be taking on ESPN and Disney.

The $EC has free reign and they know it. Nothing has happened to Alabama despite YEARS of them publicly handing out cars, two assistant coaches caught paying players, multiple former players saying they were paid and multiple photos of players/recruits posing with stacks of cash.
