So here's a fun Friday-afternoon hullabaloo breaking all over the Twitters,
for those of you interested in the media covering itself: According to John
Infante, the NCAA's official compliance blogger, schools under NCAA rule
will no longer be permitted to subscribe to Rivals, which is being
designated as a "scouting service," CBS's Bryan Fischer has a statement from
the NCAA, reading thusly:
All recruiting/scouting services are held to the same legislated
standard and we consider Rivals.com to be a recruiting/scouting service.
Star-divide
At issue is sites like Rivals' use of "video of non-scholastic competition
not available to the general public," which under the NCAA's adorable logic
makes them scouts, and not media companies, and compounding that is the news
that every school that subscribes or has ever subscribed to Rivals has to
report a secondary violation. So this will presumably be extended to other
recruiting sites with paywalls, and that will totally fix the actual problem
of the nefarious dealings of street agents, right? TOTALLY. (If it's not
entirely clear by now, we absolutely do not see what existent, actual
problem with college sports this fixes.)
The consequences here will be both serious and laughable, as Charles
Robinson laments the school's loss of an insight into possible recruiting
violations via booster chatter, and Andy Staples hungers for coaches who
previously pooh-poohed the sites jonesing for their secret fix. | m*******r
