As I noted yesterday, the roads in NJ are plowed and dry. Issue is in CT.
Faced with the latest installment of 'bliz of century', why didn't those idiots 'PLAN' to travel Thur nite, or even Fri am??
Because the NCAA, in its infinite wisdom, doesn't allow it.
See rule 16.7.2
16.7.2 Departure/Return Restrictions. It is not permissible for a team to depart more than 48 hours prior to or to remain more than 36 hours after an event or to transport the team to another area for entertainment purposes.
In a situation where the 48/36 hour limitation is applicable, an institution that is participating in a multicompetition or multi-day event (e.g., conference tournament) may depart 48 hours prior to the event’s first round of competition (as opposed to 48 hours prior to the institution’s first scheduled competition), and may remain 36 hours after the conclusion of the last contest (even if they are not participating in the final contest). 6/94 Official Interpretation.
16.7.2.1 Exceptions. The time limitations related to the provisions of travel expenses do not apply in the following circumstances:
(a) Travel prior to and following contests in Hawaii or Alaska;
(b) Travel prior to and following contest in the 48 contiguous states for member institutions located in Hawaii or Alaska;
(c) Travel prior to and following regular season competition that takes place during the institution’s official vacation period during the academic year;
(d) Travel prior to contests in NCAA championship events, NGB championship events in emerging sports or certified postseason football games
All kidding aside, not sure why his commentary (ranting) bothers people! I'm more interested in how the guy puts out these stream of conscious posts on several boards while keeping up what's going on in the world. His football recruitment knowledge is way ahead of most guys who are getting paid big bucks for that job and I'm positive his interest is only a sideline!
