NCAA makes a ridiculous change to unofficial visits

 

The NCAA has a host of major issues that it really could be tackling right now. But instead, on Wednesday it decided that photoshoots can’t be held during unofficial visits for football players.

 

That’s right…photoshoots.

 

In legislation that hasn’t yet been passed, the NCAA is looking to eliminate all photo shoots for prospective football players that don’t take place on an official visit. Official visit photo shoots will remain under the proposed legislation.

 

But kiss the unofficial visit photoshoot bye-bye.

 

Why does this matter?

NCAA 'Targets' Deion Sanders With Its Proposed Rule Change

 

Earlier this week the NCAA announced a notable change to recruiting visits.

 

The oversight committee issued a memo on Wednesday looking to ban photoshoots for recruits on unofficial visits. In the wake of the decision some think Deion Sanders and Colorado finally forced the NCAA's hand.

 

Josh Tolle of "Buffs Beat" thinks the NCAA is making a "direct jab" at Deion:

 

This is a direct jab at Deion Sanders, who used photoshoot opportunities with recruits at Colorado to promote Louis Vuitton and Lamborghini sports cars.

 

The snapshots were widely popular and became a viral sensation among recruits. Everyone wanted to come to Boulder to meet Coach Prime and be part of the phenomenon.

 

It can still happen, but only on official visits.

Oh, good grief!

That's a very good question, Charles.  Why on earth would it matter?  There must be something behind this we aren't figuring.  Maybe complaints from schools getting the short-shrift on the recruiting end of the stick?  dunno  Possibly they (NCAA) feel that certain schools have an unfair advantage over others.  I agree with you - they're wasting time on the small stuff when the big stuff goes wanting.
