I actually never thought about ... The_Muted_Grimaud Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 07:33:49 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.


How the rules that exist affect sports outside football and basketball. WIth all the publicity that those two receive, I think it's easy to forget that the NCAA is supposed to be responsible for nearly every other sport played in most colleges.

the NCAA has their own drug policies outside of the law. LadyLorraine - 01/09/2010 09:04:11 PM 240 Views
The NCAA drug policies are a joke Brian - 02/09/2010 08:39:42 AM 285 Views

track team fantasy sounds funny ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 01/09/2010 08:14:38 PM 255 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 104 Views
Nope, no it doesn't. *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/09/2010 09:04:49 PM 109 Views
Karma, baby! The_Muted_Grimaud - 05/09/2010 06:10:46 PM 228 Views
