NCAA deregulates phone calls

Unbelievable..... how about now retroactively applying this rule to all the careers and programs this has ruined over the years.
 
I guess it should be easy for Samson to get back into the college game now

Honestly, I don't think it will be much different for the recruits. These call/text limits were impossible to enforce and it's pretty common knowledge that it wasn't all that difficult to "get around" the rules.

The law of diminishing returns is in play here - there comes a point where contacting a kid too many times just becomes annoying.
 
.-.
Would retroactively applying this to recruits in the last 4 years get us a scholarship back?
 
How can this be? I seem to recall that the articles about UConn, even from the local columnists, painted this as the worst kind of violation in NCAA history. And now it's not even a sub-minor rules infraction?

Thanks, NCAA :rolleyes:
 
To this day IU fans think Sampson is worse than Bin Ladin because of doing this.
 
It's like George Carlin said "how would you feel now if your doing time (eternity) in hell on a meat rap.
They change the rules and all of a sudden it is not a mortal sin.

Apparently Emmert just floated a proposal to legalize the theft of laptops. Next up is a plan to fine coaches for every misstated fact at post-game press-conferences.

"NCAA found him (Calhoun) guilty of failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failing to monitor the program in areas of phone calls, text messages and inducements provided by a booster."​
That booster was his former manager, who was in constant contact Uconn staffers thoughout the recruitment process. In other words inducements funnelled through this booster. You you thought it was just phone calls!;)​

You forgot to log back on as "clothy" and I wonder why the mods have not banned him/you yet.....

Hey bag, your hand slap was for more than just a few extra calls and texts.

No, no, no...I am Huskymoronic...YOU are Douchy. It is amazing what the mods here let you get away with. But they are much more tolerant than the uass mod. Tell Mike I hope all is going well with his injured vagina and that hormone therapy can get him through "The Change".

Unlimited calls, texts, PMs on social media to students finished with their sophomore years.

So does this mean we are no longer cheaters? :) One can only laugh about all this.

I realize that some of these rules are to protect the recruits (So that their phones aren't ringing 24x7x365)

Also to prevent a competitive advantage (So those programs who have recruiting coaches with super fast fingers now have an advantage.)

I look to the day when we can all just turn our page of all the drama, but I fear that this program will forever be plagued by such. As long as JC is here (Note: Not implying we run him out of town!!!), there will be plenty of drama. I'm talking about the drama around how long he will remain coaching. That will not stop till the day he hang 'em up.

I guess I can live with all this as long as the NCs keep piling up. :)

Mr. Nochimson played a role too.

It's not illegal for a coaching staff to contact an agent. If Nochimson hadn't gone to UConn, the whole thing would've been a non-issue.

It's unfortunate because I don't think that the staff was even in contact with him before Miles came along.

Hey I'm with you. But to say that the whole NCAA investigation and sanctions were only because of excessive calls and texts just isn't true.
 
This is why the NCAA is a bunch of morons - change the rules in the middle of the game.
 
.-.
Oh relax. 1) It's a good change that needed to be made. 2) the sanctions were relatively light and not completely based on the texts. 3) when the rule was in place we broke it. Being pissed that they changed it is like complaining that you got a ticket when the speed limit was 55 and now it's 65. You knew at the time was the limit was. Don't blame others for your mistakes.

No - it just means that most of the NCAA rules are dumb and inconsistent. Basically we were penalized for phone calls and for a player who never played a game for us.

We were penalized for breaking the rules that were in place at the time. That's it. It's all there is to it. Doesn't matter if it was a good rule or not, it was a rule that we willfully violated. It wasn't a secret rule. It wasn't a rule that we didn't watch others get smacked for. We did it. Own up to it and get better about things like that. I don't like driving 65. I drive faster. If I get caught, I'm not going to defend myself by saying it's a rule I don't like. I willfully break it and I take the consequences if I get caught. I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to accept.
