Mrs. Old Ball Coach Is Breaking Dumb NCAA Rules 


Once again it becomes apparent how idiotic some of the NCAA rules are. This past Friday Steve Spurrier's wife, Jerri Spurrier, was informed that she had violated NCAA rules when she sent handwritten letters to the family members of football players who have signed to play for the University of South Carolina next season. The violation is considered only a Level II offense and it appears no penalties will be enforced upon the team or Mrs. Spurrier.

Regardless though, how writing a letter to the family of a player who is already committed to play for the Gamecocks next season is classified as an NCAA violation is beyond me. Maybe the NCAA should focus their attention elsewhere, in particular on bigger infractions that I imagine are occurring throughout the country but have not been discovered.

Maybe she should spend less time with these letters and more time on the golf course with her man.

It's amazing how stupid the NCAA is at times.

The NCAA rules are the worst. I think the rule book is as thick as a phone book.

I think if there was a Category 5 hurrican, a tornado, and a tsunami hitting a city and you drive by and see a kid you're recruiting walking in the street, you can't pick him up to take him out of harm's way because it's an NCAA violation.

Ridiculous

HAHAHA. That is so true Benny. I remember Coach Majerus got in trouble for buying a kid a piece of pizza when after a funeral...pathetic that that is a violation.

It's "their attention" not "there attention"

It is a dumb rule. She used to do it when he was the Coach at UF and never had any problems.

thanks anon -- i can't believe how many bloggers use "there" when it's obvious it's "their." using the wrong one should bring a 3-day suspicion, i mean suspension.

only Coach Majerus could think about pizza after a funeral.

There should be a 3 day suspension for anonymous bloggers who are too scared to reveal THEIR identity.

EVIL

Would a free lapdance from her be against the rules ?

No it would not. In fact it is encouraged...to boost the morale of collegiate athletes.
