This is not mentioning that TBS clearly recruits within the definition of the rules by the NCAA, the NCAA just doesn't want to pursue this type of thing at this time.
I have heard this is a question that TBS likes to use "how do you feel about the possibility for playing for the school that represents your church." That my friends right there is clearly recruiting. You have someone who is clearly a booster of the team, asking a question that portrays a positive of BYU to the recruit. |

I'm just glad Coach Whittingham doesn't recruit thugs like this.

Also it's hardly portraying BYU in a "positive light" that it's a church owned school...I know I'm going out on a huge limb here,,,but my guess is these kids already know it's a church owned school and I don't think there's nothing dishonest about asking a legitimate question like that. lol...like it's a bad thing to ask a kid how he feels about going to a school that is basically only one of it's kind in the entire country that is a Church sponsored school. The OUTRAGE! You and I will never agree here, so I'm sure we'll just volley back and forth. You're usually not a Yewt "fan", but today you have been.

No Jay I have actually read the NCAA rules and done research on these recruiting websites. I wrote my paper for my sports law class on recruiting websites, and I think pretty much everyone of them out there is involved in recruiting in some manner.
The rules regarding recruiting are very broad and catch a wide range of activities. If you are a booster for the school, which some schools define as anyone who consistently buys a ticket to the schools sporting events, you cannot have any contact with a recruit. If you want some consistency I would consider it a recruiting violation if the Ute site said something to a QB like "how do you feel about playing for Andy Ludwig, considering he mentored David Carr to the NFL?" |

1. Have participated in or to be a member of an agency or organization promoting the institution's intercollegiate athletics program; 2. Have made financial contributions to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization of that institution; 3. Be assisting or to have been requested (by the athletics department staff) to assist in the recruitment of prospects; 4. Be assisting or to have assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student-athletes or their families; or 5. Have been involved otherwise in promoting the institution's athletics program." You can make the argument, and a pretty strong one at that, that running a recruiting website in and of itself is promoting hte institution's athletics program. It is also interesting how different schools interpret these provisions. Some schools consider anyone who has attended the University to be a booster. Pretty much any school considers someone who has bought season tickets a booster. As for my paper, I didn't do as well on it as I would have liked. But if it was full of inaccurate inconsistencies I probably wouldn't have got a B+ in the class that had graded based solely on that paper. |
