Just when you thought your favorite college team could no longer texts its HSAR, (that’s Highly Sought After Recruits, in pure English) well, in the words of Lee Corso… "Not so fast, my friends"! Love that crazy old man. Speaking of crazy…Gotta love the NCAA more though. After passing a new rule forbidding coaches from sending text messages to recruits, now the NCAA isn’t sure it made the right call after thirty-four schools have bitched and complained about it and will reexamine the ruling on Aug. 9. Good to see the NCAA is so worried about the cell phone companies of the world…Here’s a thought guys, why don’t you hold an emergency meeting to discuss the whole BCS fiasco? You can notify each other through your Sidekicks and Blackberries by texting "911 meeting". However, standard text message rates will apply!
Another foolish rule set forth by you guys! Why was this even put into law in the first place? I know, so schools don’t have contact with prospective players during the "down period". Very noble of you guys…Thing is odds are very likely texting will be the thing of the past here shortly. Something new and improved communication tool will come along allowing you to set even more rules on coaches, and so on and so forth. So you by setting these silly communication rules are well, just that…Silly. Don’t you have more important things to worry about on your plate than who’s texting and who isn’t? I mean, what kind of a "plan" is this? A rollover one? Isn’t some mascot out there not abiding by your "mascot" policy?
No, let’s not worry about who’s bending the rules when it comes to academics…No, lets not do that. Let’s spend our time concerning ourselves with these petty issues to see which coaching staff has exceeded their 500 a month texting limits. To see which of their recruits are in their Top Five? For an organization that always preaches to student athletes you’re a student first…And the same organization who suggests college athletics isn’t a big business, you guys are paying more and more attention to what goes on in the various athletic venues and less about what you try to blow smoke up our asses about! Why does it matter at all who’s texting and who’s not texting their BFF QB or BBF PG? TTYL
With the NBA Draft upon us…Vote in the LastRowSports.com new Pick’em Poll ask the question of "With the First Pick in the Draft...The Honor Goes To?" Durant / Oden or Blonde/Brunette…So difficult to decide. Who would you take? It’s time to stuff the ballot box!
