Palin Impersonator Crashes Conservative Confab
Santorum Skeptical About Women In Combat
If you ever doubt the depths of the corruption of college football, consider this: A college coach reportedly spent Tuesday night calling players and telling them not to attend class, and he apparently was not violating any NCAA rules in doing so.
The coach in question, Ed Orgeron, quit as Tennessee's recruiting coordinator to head to USC with Lane Kiffin, and he wants to bring some Tennessee recruits with him. Some of those recruits are players who graduated from high school early and signed up for spring semester classes at Tennessee, which start this week, but now Orgeron and Kiffin want them to forget Tennessee and head to Southern California.
Dave Hooker of the Knoxville News Sentinel reports that Orgeron has contacted multiple UT mid-term enrollees and encouraged them not to attend class because once you've attended class at one university, the NCAA makes it harder to transfer to another university.
So Kiffin and Orgeron can pick up and leave whenever they want, and they can encourage student-athletes to pick up and leave with them. But if those student-athletes have attended any classes, the NCAA will punish them for their attendance by preventing them from transferring without having to sit out a year.
It's utterly ridiculous that NCAA rules allow coaches to actively encourage students not to go to class. But "utterly ridiculous" pretty well describes everything about NCAA rules.
