Who's cat were they killing ?....it sounded almost as if they were using it for their background audio.
Weight with whom? This council is made up of representives from every conference and both academic, atheltic and administrative sides.
As if UNC doesn't get all the calls all the time. When UNC and Duke play, the officials call it fairly even, because they can't preferential treat them both.
I don't see how it's a bad thing to ban the practice. Could you explain why satellite camps shouldn't be banned?
Well, UNC plays Duke every year, don't they? They should be used to officials blatantly siding with the opposing team.
I agree that the officiating went more in favor of Nova, but this is ridiculous. It's like they forgot about the advantageous calls of the Hansbrough and Sean May years.
How is this the right thing? Because it helps our school?
This whole thing was extremely SEC vs B1G. Obviously this ruling benefits the ACC, but the SEC was easily more vocal, specifically with regards to when the camps were set up in Alabama. The ACC hardly has any weight in comparison to the SEC
Was that Ford in blue? Did I miss something?
Yeah, if not moreso. Swofford, the Presidents and the ADs throughout the ACC were not overly pleased with the Big Ten setting up shop in places like Norfolk with sweetheart deals with lower schools.
Very glad the NCAA did the right thing and banned this practice.
Many are wondering why Cuse and UNC were allowed in the tourney, to begin with
So I take it ODU gets absolutely boned in this and can't host any of those camps anymore...
Oh yeah, losing out on the chance to win your 6th national championship must be so painful. Get over it.
Yes I mad.
The ACC was equally vocal in objecting to this practice.

# | Experience Standing Out to Fuente, Devin Wilson Trying His Hand at Wide Receiver Thanks, we just about had everything all cleared up and then you had to go and make sense.
In my mind, the narrative on Lawson is one of patience, perseverance and dedication. Lefty obviously thought he brought the goods. While I'm not speculating whether they was any talk of early playing time, he basically burned a redshirt year for something like a dozen snaps from scrimmage. If TKP is any indication, the fanbase (or at least the portion that pays attention to recruiting) fawned over him as much or more than we fawned over Austin Clark's commitment. The question then becomes, did Lawson begin to think of himself as an heir apparent, and if so, does he have the grit to fight for and earn something he might have thought was going to be handed him?
To be clear, I'm not besmirching nor even questioning Lawson's character. He might be 100% all in on earning a starting spot here regardless of how long it takes. But when I look at his trajectory since joining our program, it seems that the biggest obstacle to him eventually becoming our starting QB might be completely in his own head and heart.
Dear ODU
Of course. Why would the NCAA keep anything in the rules that helps prospective students gain attention. The SEC says they don't want it so the NCAA follows. Meanwhile the SEC over signs and pulls scholarships all the time but the NCAA has no problems with that even though its much more harmful.
I had some friends who were big Sergio fans and they saw him play at a tournament near Charlotte and seeing him live changed their opinion of him. Maybe he was having a bad day, but his off-camera antics were apparently very off-putting. He hit a bad ball off the tee-box at one point and took a swing at (and connected) the mic on the tee-box. He was swearing up a storm, too. They mentioned that he said some pretty nasty things towards people. I don't know what it was he said, or who it was directed at but my friends came away from that tournament very disappointed in him. They have a hard time pulling for him now.
What do you need with a horse? ...Nevermind! I don't want to know.
Wow. Decisive action on the part of
the NCAAthe presidents of NCAA member universities to address a practice that gave certain conferences a decided advantage over other conferences.
Yessir - leg to the winner! Welcome aboard!
