Lol!

He has a point but some of you guys don't want to acknowledge it because Urban said it and you are still hurt. The new rules are ridiculous and should have never went through. Florida is going to have to hire a lot more people because of the new rules and thankfully they have the resources. Assistance coaches are going to have no lives at all. They are also going to need to be paid more because they are going to put in even more work. The rule change is a disaster.

You know, I knew Meyer would come out eventually!

Tebowism must've had him in there.

Interestingly now Meyer is telling the rest of the Big 10 to step up their recruiting efforts. Presumably because he doesn't want his strength of schedule tarnished by a very weak conference schedule.

"I don't know enough about what goes on in the other programs. I know I have a lot of respect for the tradition and their historical success they've had," Meyer said. "But we do need, as a conference, to keep pushing that envelope to be better.

"And I think all our conversations, we're going to have a Big Ten meeting here in a week … and our whole conversation needs to be, 'how do we recruit?' When you see 11 of the SEC teams in the top 25 in recruiting, that is something we need to continue to work on and improve."

LoL, so you leave the SEC, go to a Big 10 school, and want it to be more like the SEC?

Agreed. The amount of stress, sleep deprivation, physical and mental exhaustion, and time away from family will be off the charts. Welcome back, esophageal spasms.

I get wanting to play better competition in your conference, but he's going to meet with his rivals to brain storm how to help them recruit better?

[fubar1]

I'm for whatever strengthens and protects the sport, including the student-athletes.

I'm against whatever causes more money, resources and time to go towards activities that don't benefit the athlete and the integrity of the sport.

You can guess which side of this I'm on.

Roughly 130 Div. I member schools x how many programs? How many kids involved?

Add the burden of watching non-institution related recruiting violations like agents, boosters, etc.

This isn't that the NCAA doesn't want to do its job...its more like the SEC trying to watchdog the stock market...impossible.

Then, if they're so bent on doing it the right way, why don't they reach into their fat pockets and hire a team to represent each conference, overseeing the activity that occurs during the process?

I'm ignorant to how they handle things, but you said you don't believe that it has anything to do with the NCAA not wanting to do its job. If that is the case, then why are they lifting all of these rules, adding more stress to coaching staffs and high school prospects, in light of all these secondary violations? Coaches have lost their jobs over some of these infractions, and an organization should have people responsible for investigating these schools, and making sure all of this is being handled the right way. Shouldn't they?

Or would that cut into their massive profits? Would it be too much of an inconvenience? It's not like they have the best interests of the coaching staffs and prospects at heart. Enlighten me.

Who cares what he thinks. Can't wait for the day that Meyer and Champ meet for the crystal and we kick his A**!

Seriously, they don't have the time- they get like 500 million every year from the tournament alone (nearly 850 million in total revenue in 2012) and they don't have the money? Doing this for Men's College Football and Men's College Basketball is basically the only actual work they have to do all the other sports with the only some exceptions (baseball/hockey for men, basketball for women- all in much, much smaller cases) are basic compliance clearances.

Champ might agree with him on this- as has been noted above a lot of coaches don't like this change. You just know someone- probably a deep South or Texas based school (see: Auburn, Bama, Texas if Tamu keeps rising) is going to find a way to blatantly exploit the loopholes this opens.

Because it's a lazy organization that doesn't truly care about anyone.

Seriously, how hard is it to hire 150-200 competent individuals, put them on salary, and monitor what's actually going on? These individuals could be in contact with high school coaches, impose regulations-and monitor-recruits while they're on visits, and they could structure some type of network that would monitor the amount of communication between prospects and FCB coaching staffs. If they took the time to impose something like that, put it in writing for prospects to sign prior to going through the process, and enforced it, I guarantee it would be effective. It wouldn't be a violation of privacy, because these kids would understand these guidelines prior to going the entire process. You want to be a part of our organization? You play play by our rules. How hard is that?

But that would all require too much thought. And, it would require forking out a whole lot of $$$$$. The NCAA doesn't want any part of that. Not even to do it the right way.
