Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 688432, member: 338"] Tone? I think my tone is even-handed. I would imagine that the line of questioning is the issue. I simply can't believe what I am seeing. I am genuinely confused by the fact pattern I see. There are NCAA rules that regulate recruiting activities that are plainly interpretable, even to a layman. NCAA member institutions have compliance departments that have policies regarding those rules. Fans across the country, including ours, are being told not to do something, because it is a violation, plain and simple - and the response is, ! Try to catch me. Or, the rule is stupid and shouldn't be followed. Or, everyone is doing it. I have never seen a case where a clear NCAA rule that would seem to be fairly important historically, is suddenly being violated wantonly. I do not understand, and am not entirely comfortable with, the aura of lawlessness that has taken hold. My acute concern is that we are an easy target. [/QUOTE]
