Another bit on recruiting

My last post sparked my memory about another article I had read that discusses "A new NCAA rule approved in January forbids college football head coaches from visiting high schools during the spring evaluation period that stretches from April 15 through May 31."

ESPN - Big 12 roundup: Recruiting, Reesing, Red Raiders and more


I point this out because it's an example of what I was talking about in my last post. Coaches like Mack Brown love this rule because it prevents other coaches from invading his talent pool for 6 weeks. Les Miles (LSU) and Dan Hawkins (Colorado) basically call bullshit, but what can they do?

As a grad from a Big XII North school, I'm accustomed to getting the short end of the stick against Texas in College Football politics.
