NCAA Bars schools from subscribing to Rivals

« on: April 08, 2011, 01:00:01 PM »

This is an ongoing story. So far, it looks like most of the activity in public view has been via twitter.

So here's the twitter pages from Bylaw Blog, EliteScouting, and the one article I have found so far.

Now, there's a CBS story up with the NCAA e-mail.

Quote

Here's what the league coaches received today from an NCAA representative (the bold passage was highlighted in yellow):

I am responding to your question. If a recruiting or scouting service, such as Rivals.com, provides nonscholastic video that is not available for free to the general public, then an institution may not subscribe to the service per Bylaw 13.14.3. All recruiting/scouting services are held to the same legislated standard and we consider Rivals.com to be a recruiting/scouting service. The staff has issued a staff interpretation (4/29/09) and two educational columns (3/10/2009 and 5/4/2010) that discuss this issue generally that I have included below.

The league coaches were instructed to immediately cancel any subscriptions to Rivals.com and to report a secondary recruiting violation if they were or ever have been subscribed (paid or complimentary).

Meanwhile it is still OK for Auburn to pay the players so long as they don't watch videos of them on rivals.com first.

On the plus side, this could be a good thing for our totally free recruiting section. Too bad I haven't finished it yet. Cheesy
