Colt

[redrum45]

So I was listening to the local radio station here in tulsa, ok. they said that USC and Texas were looking at recruiting infractions....They said that Colt Mccoy & Mark Sanchez (usc) sent text messeges to DS, and that this was considered a call which is against the rules. That is pretty gay, but what kind of punishment for this?

 

[Austin10]

Yes, it's really 'gay'

 

[sessamoid]

And no, text messages are not considered phone calls.

2nd

on the gay comment

 

[BHud]

I didn't realzie Colt was now a member of the coaching staff.....

And texting isn't calling.

 

[uh_huh]

I have gay friends that say "that's gay." So here's the first

to the first and second

.

Back on track. Did the NCAA recently classify text messages as "calls"? I know a lot of coaches were using that "loophole" to communicate with recruits over the past handful of years.

actually, heres a link.The Link

Students can contact recruits individually, just as any student can contact any other future student. Only rule is it cannot be at the direction and or supervision of a Coach.

If It was just Colt reaching out it is ok... QB to QB stuff...

No it is not a voilation not major or minor, it is only a pain in the *ss when people make up rules without knowing what the real rules happen to be....
Tulsa? nop wonder they were confused. The cannot read the NCAA rules because they ususally have their head so far up someones butt!

 

[coolhorn]

What's the NCAA gonna do to Colt, even if they find him guilty of something...take away some of his rollover minutes?

 

[Les Claypool]

Gay or not gay? I think that BaD Radio would consider this gay only if Colt asked him what he was wearing, if he enjoys bubble baths, or telling him he looks great in burnt orange spandex work out shorts. Otherwise, I would guess that there is a recruiting exception and therefore, not gay.

Baby arm.

 

[mikey4]

That's an entirely appropriate adjective, so I second the first

to the first and second

 

[RomaVicta]

I happened to intercept that message Colt sent:

"I can get your moms a job as a DC in College Station. She could drive in for the games. K?"

Scott responded:
"My moms wants no part of CS. Anything in Snyder?"

 

[X Misn Tx]

i second the

of the first and second

regarding "that's pretty gay." i know gay people.

Big12Observer got pwn3d on the Darrell Scott thread over this. Even if the NCAA considers a text message to be a phone call, which I'm not sure they've ruled on yet or not, it is okay under NCAA By-laws for a student-athlete to call a recruit if it's on the student-athlete's dime and not at the request of a coach or under a coach's supervision.

Usually the Wizard of Odds gets stuff like this right, but here's one where he's dead wrong. Colt only committed an infraction if one of the coaches asked him to do it, supervised it, or he used a coach's University-owned cell phone to send the text.

 

[UTCU]

My understanding is that it's fine so long as staff didn't tell him to do it, and anyone on the UT staff would have to be incredibly stupid to actually tell Colt to call the kid. Sanchez was reportedly calling to urge him to go to CU, so it's hard to see how that's a violation. My prediction: nothing to this whatsoever.

cough, cough

According to NCAA recruiting rules; section 13.205.1; passage c:
"It is permissible for an enrolled student-athlete to engage in written correspondence, provided it is not done at the direction and/or expense of the member institution."
btw, this is assuming a text is written correspondence...since it's not techically a phone call.
also...
"It is permissible for an enrolled student-athlete to receive telephone calls made at the expense of a prospective student athlete after July 1 following the completion of the prospective student-athlete's junior year in high school."

cough cough. I have a cold. excuse me.
