NCAA issues warnings to teams continuing to recruit during coronavirus-related ban
As the COVID-19 outbreak continues to spread across the globe, the NCAA has issued a moratorium on in-person recruiting activities.
However, some schools are apparently not abiding by that mandate fully, according to NCAA Vice President of Enforcement Jon Duncan.
He told SI.com that they’ve heard about these ongoing recruiting activities and want them to stop:
“We are mindful of the circumstances and challenges on campus,” Duncan said. “But at the same time, we’re obligated to keep the infractions process moving.”
Duncan said that this message is, among other things, meant to protect the schools that are actually following the rules.
Will we see any penalties handed down over the coming weeks?
Who are these schools? When has the NCAA ever issues warnings for outright recruiting violations? Then again, he says he’s hearing this. From who? Got proof?
So coaches aren’t allowed to contact a recruit via telephone/text/email? The NCAA is going way to far with this. LSUSMC has a great point..”Got proof?”
In-person means with the actual individual face to face……it does not mean by electronic communication.
You didn’t have to go past the first sentence of the article to see it’s about in person recruiting…. You didn’t actually read the article did you?
If any school like Alabama and Tennessee would violate the rules established during this crisis, then they deserve to be punished..One would “assume” no coach in their right minds would cheat..But we are discussing the SEC here, so nothing would surprise me at this time.
So who are the schools that broke the rules?
If any school or conference like the Pac12 violate rules established during this crisis, then they should deserve to be punished. Moronic statement on your part.
