Among the meatier suggestions in the package:

• Eliminating so-called package deals, making it nearly impossible for a college program to hire any of the myriad of hangers-on associated with prospective student-athletes.

• Disallowing college coaches to subscribe to recruiting services run by people associated with prospects. This would curtail services offered by AAU programs (and others) that charge colleges to subscribe but sometimes offer little to no information on the prospect.

• Preventing payment to nonprofit organizations benefiting summer-club teams, prospects or people attached to prospects.

• Preventing coaches from hiring outsiders to work at their camps and clinics.


Head or assistant coaches could be suspended from participation from regular-season games as well as the NCAA tournament, and the penalties would follow him to subsequent jobs.

Also, basketball players caught in the web could be rendered permanently ineligible at a school found guilty of one of these infractions.

This part makes me happy. No longer will we see the Caliparis or Sampsons of the world realize they're in trouble and just abandon ship these penalties will follow the coaches wherever they go.

Wow-- these would be some serious changes and would put some real teeth in NCAA infractions. I love the effort to crack down on the appearance of impropriety in recruiting as it relates to AAU coaches and the such. Can we call that change the Calhounipari Rule?

I will be at least a little surprised to see some of these get enacted. There are going to be some powerful people who oppose many of these changes.

That part makes me confused. Didn't the NCAA try this with Tarkanian and get slapped around pretty good by the courts?

I think you are right, but it was because there wasno rulein palce. codifying it makes it harder for slimeballs like Calhounatarkipari to get away with stuff.

However it's configured, NCAA sanctions should follow the head coach overseeing the program that was sanctioned. Seems like such a no-brainer.

How many scorched earth problems do we have to identify for the NCAA to enact such a policy? What could possibly be the argument against? Anyone know?

Uh oh. If there are some real teeth in these regs, Cleveland State is in for a real rough patch! :D I hope they spread the sanctions around.

a) it was a take-off on Jason Evans' joke above (the Calhounipari Rule)
b) Calhoun has had some pretty shady dealings in the AAU/"package deal" realm, another of the areas of emphasis in the new rules,
c) lighten up, it was a joke
d) go back to UCONN

There is some wonderful irony surrounding that famous quote "The NCAA got so mad at Kentucky, they put Cleveland State on probation for another 2 years."

Do you know who said that line?

Fabulous! I cannot decide what to call this. I mean, Calhoun is legendary for funneling money to AAU coaches of top recruits but Kansas has a long history of hiring staffers who are directly related to players. Hmmmm, so many psuedo-cheaters, it is just hard to decide.
