[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 613713, member: 282"] I don’t think the NCAA is set up for subjectivity. Most of what I’ve seen from the NCAA is “these are the explicit rules; these are minor; these are major”. We’ve seen the same impact from a $150 violation as for a multi-thousand dollar violation. I think that’s the source of a lot of the debate here. Some people are saying “the rule is 100 miles and it’s more than 100”. Others are saying “that makes no sense, there are no D1 schools in 100 miles”. With the NCAA, whether a decision makes sense or is fair is less important than whether it falls in the black and white of the rules. I can see why they’re so rule-bound, too. Once the NCAA allows subjectivity in, they’re going head to head with lawyers from Alabama and Penn State and OSU and Texas any time a school with a big legal team thinks they can get an edge. And those athletic departments will do that at the drop of a hat. That it’s inequitable for the student athletes is collateral damage to them. And, in this case, to us and our student athletes.
