it's good to see the rules work properly LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 05:17:25 PM
Although most of the rules that are made in respect to breaking the law aren't the impractical ones. some of the "ridiculous" rules are only ridiculous outside of the Big 3 Sports of football, basketball, and baseball.

For example, most of the rules pertaining to competition outside of school make at least some sense for football...but they make NO SENSE to an Equestrian athlete. What do you mean we can't accept RIBBONS?!?!

I am not lying. An NCAA Equestrian athlete is not allowed to accept RIBBONS. Or any other prizes for winning. To someone who grew up doing horse shows and in the equestrian community, these rule are about as "Sensible" as telling a football player they can't practice at home with their own footballs. It just doesn't make sense.

the NCAA has their own drug policies outside of the law. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 09:04:11 PM 283 Views
The NCAA drug policies are a joke Brian - 02/09/2010 08:39:42 AM 329 Views

I actually never thought about ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 07:33:49 PM 301 Views
most of the rules were created due to the actions of football or basketball players LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 07:46:00 PM 366 Views
track team fantasy sounds funny ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 294 Views
Decision appealed and reversed, by the way. Guess the NCAA doesn't agree with you after all. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/09/2010 03:45:40 PM 120 Views

It wasn't really his fault though that his defense stunk it up. He did his part. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 05/09/2010 07:30:42 PM 124 Views
