TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q: How many contact periods are there for men's basketball?
A: Three
THE MORNING BREW NCAA violations not worth the hassle
There are lines which the sports sector operates within. These lines are vital to the efficient machine which produces nightly entertainment starting with the games to press conferences and everything in between. These parameters are put in place to protect the athletes and coaches. The parameters are more important as athletes come into the spotlight at younger ages.
One of the constant struggles revolves around how to update these lines to make them appropriate and effective to current trends and technology. Athletic administrators deal with a slew of tweets and quotes complaining about starting time to rants shutting down the haters.
But now, the focus is shifting to how administrators control these athletes before they even step on campus. There are a variety of different rules regarding contact with athletes during recruiting periods that now attempt to regulate communication during high school.
The tech-savvy world we live in, texts and emails or even tweets have replaced
Recruiting a high school athlete is controlled by season, the athlete's age, and content of messages but there is some flaw in the process. Coaches know these rules which have been largely publicized in recent investigations, but it seems there is always someone new who is being nailed to these charges.
phone calls and letters as accepted communication in professional settings, but are presenting problems for administrators trying to make specific rules to control the style of communication.
A story broke on Monday about recruiting violations at Baylor from football and its men's and women's
basketball programs. Supposedly these impermissible phone calls and text messages occurred within a 29-month span and surrounded several athletes including National Player of the Year Brittney Griner.
As a sports fan I think it is tragic that the environment is full of recruiting violations across the board. The basketball season started with Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun suspended for three games and it ends with the women's national championship team losing recruiting privileges for the summer.
This is becoming a trend in sports investigation. And though recruiting infractions are less harmful than doping scandals in baseball, they are just as nonsensical. The focus is lost because it has pulled away from care for the high school athletes.
In baseball if you have a great hitter the underlying questions are still "Is he doping? When will he get caught?" Now, if the NCAA is not able to effectively control this problem, questions will start to trend regarding top recruits and whether their path to which school
There is no easy way to fix this problem with the constantly changing technology, but it is necessary for schools to return to the rules. Lines are set and they are just not being obeyed. If a text shouldn't be sent, don't do it. If a call shouldn't be made, don't do it.
they choose is tainted in some way.
The high school athletes being recruited are chasing their dreams, and frankly deserve better than constant questioning on the legitimacy of their offers.
It may be naive, but I respect the lines and believe they are there for a purpose. Clearly coaches are not always getting away with their little moves to get ahead and nab their top recruits, so as simple and cliché as it sounds it is better to be play by the rules.
