tmh8286 Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 This comes a few years late for Kelvin Sampson? Did they name the rule after him? Great point, Terry. And if the "rules" are this fluid and arbitrary, will he be exonerated of wrongdoing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUJason Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I don't like any of these rule changes and they seemed to have been pushed through very quickly with no opportunity for input from member institutions. I don't think much of Emmert at all. These changes don't seem to favor smaller institutions ($2000 additional per student athlete will be a drop in the bucket for big institutions but will be very significant for smaller institutions. Also dropping concoaching contact restrictions will result in recruits possibly being overwhelmed even more in the recruiting process.
