NCAA Bans Tiger Prowl

[Token]

Sounds like it starting catching on, because of the prospects' responses to it...."It showed me that they really wanted me when they showed up with that many coaches"..."It was a (Shocker) when I saw that many coaches showing up to my HS in a stretched Hummer, everyone knew they were there to evaluate me and some of my teammates."

Therefore the Big East, along with the little bitch in West Vance, decided that it should be stopped.  The little bitch realized that he couldn't send that many "Bag Men" to each school, because that would really cause a scene and quiet a buzz.

I wonder if the NCAA will put a stop to the "unnecessarily expending resources" that some High Schools use when the little bitch steps onto their campus (Red Carpet, Band, Cheerleaders, etc.)

Don't get me wrong, I think it's hilarious that coach little bitch got his panties in a wad, because that tells me that this coaching staff are working their asses off and it's getting under little bitch's skin....Chizik Effect or Troop-a-Lupe Effect?

BTW, this isn't going to stop Tiger Prowl.  I have a really...REALLY good idea of what they'll do next year.  But, only a select few here will know what it is, you winder lickers will just have to wait until this week...Next Year.  HAHA, biatches.

[Birmingham]

This clearly is a bad rule.

[RWS]

No crying here, lickspittle. I think it's fucking hilarious. USC runs amok, with slam dunk evidence presented for several years now and the NCAA jams this through in a matter of days. All of it coincides with nickys butt buddy being named NCAA president.

You have now aligned yourself with Prowler.

Congratulations.

For all da bammers, including Coach little bitch....

Now you sound like a bammer. Nick is all powerful and he got this rule passed blah blah blah

Just for record, the Auburn coaches have already, before NCAA ruling, adjusted. There are many different methods of transportation dispersed across the landscape of the South with the regulated max amount of CFB coaches, plus coach Barbee. As already mentioned, this does not count the RV of which is only displayed at booster on non-HS school functions. Tiger Prowl has already morphed into it's boundary style.

As for the NCAA, phuk you, the SEC laughs at you because you're a diplomatic joke.

From what I've seen the ruling said nothing about the RV.  How have they adjusted the Tigerprowl to conform to the "only 2 coaches are allowed on the visit" rule?  As far as I can tell the 2 coaches can drive the RV for all the NCAA cares.

^^Bingo^^

The Auburn staff were already planning on doing something different next year anyway and it didn't include rolling six or seven strong into the High Schools.  Auburn got two years out of blitzing selected High Schools throught the State (formerly known as Tiger Prowl).  Like I said previously, the Tiger Prowl will still happen next year, it just won't include blitzing the High Schools.  We'll still use the Tiger Prowl Motorhome, next year we'll just spread our wings with the Eagle Prowl.

It can't have anything on the vehicle that promotes the University or causes a stir at the High Schools...so no more Limos, Helicopters, Zeppelins, Hover Crafts, etc.  Auburn wasn't using the Tiger Prowl Motorhome to go to the High Schools anyway, but also that would mean no Tiger Prowl RVs at the schools either.

[Birmingham]

The Eagle Prowl sounds fun.  I'll be mad when the NCAA ends it next year.

Scarbinsky: Tiger Prowl may be dead, but AU recruiting? Very much alive
By Kevin Scarbinsky -- The Birmingham News
May 02, 2010, 5:30AM

Urban Meyer texted recruits like a mad man.

The NCAA banned coaches from texting recruits.

Some called it the Meyer rule.

Nick Saban bumped into one recruit after another in the spring.

The NCAA banned head coaches from hitting the road in the spring.

Some called it the Saban rule.

Auburn coaches staged a max blitz on high schools in the spring.

The NCAA just limited colleges to two coaches per high school per day.

Call it the Tiger Prowl rule. And consider it a compliment.

Good recruiters follow the rules. Great recruiters change them.

Sometimes the NCAA passes a rule to stop you because you’re doing something wrong. Other times, the NCAA passes a rule to stop you because you’re doing something right.

There should be nothing wrong with sending five, six or seven assistants into one high school at a time during the spring evaluation period, as Auburn and other schools did last year and this week.

It might be an advantage to show up en masse to show one prospect at one school — like, say, Chris Jones at Minor — how much you want him. At the same time, that strategy might be a disadvantage because, if Auburn has an army of assistants at one high school, Alabama might have seven different assistants at seven different high schools.

Different folks, different strokes.

The real difference is that the Tiger Prowl approach calls attention to recruiting, and the NCAA is preoccupied with perception. Coaches in stretch Hummers suggests that college football is big business.

College football is big business, of course, but true to its hypocritical nature, the NCAA is capitalist when it benefits the NCAA — see the new basketball tournament TV deal — and socialist when it doesn’t.

Witness one argument the NCAA Legislative Council made in support of the Tiger Prowl rule, formerly known as Proposal 2009-35:

"Many schools are unnecessarily expending resources in order to have multiple assistant coaches attend these evaluations ..."

Unnecessarily expending resources? Karl Marx couldn’t have said it better himself.

That phrase alone indicates that this rule isn’t about too many coaches showing up at the same high school at the same time. It’s about too much money being spent to get these coaches where they’re going.

Clearly, the NCAA didn’t like the rides. The Legislative Council even mentioned "limousines and extravagant buses," with an air of disdain, in its rationale.

Just as clearly, the NCAA has no basis to dictate how its member institutions transport their employees. So it tried to eliminate the reason for the limos, the group evaluation.

It was sneaky smart, and another step down a slippery slope.

If the NCAA is going to legislate against "unnecessarily expending resources," where does it stop?

You could argue that a school unnecessarily expends resources when it spends tens of millions of dollars to grow its stadium to 101,000 seats. Or when it pays a head coach $4 million-plus a year and a defensive coordinator $750,000.

How soon before someone suggests a salary cap? Or a stadium cap?

At least there’s one group within the NCAA’s hierarchy that isn’t convinced socialism is the way to go. The Division I Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Issues Cabinet actually opposed the Tiger Prowl rule.

That clear-thinking group, which includes Tennessee AD Mike Hamilton, wrote the following in its formal dissenting opinion:

"The cabinet believes institutions should have the discretion to determine how to spend their recruiting resources and noted institutions are limited to a maximum of seven coaches who may recruit off campus at any one time.

"Therefore, if an institution has more than two coaches at one educational institution on one calendar day, fewer coaches are permitted to recruit at other locations on that same day."

That kind of common sense failed to carry much weight. So the Tiger Prowl, as a recruiting tool, is dead.

But just like Meyer after losing his freedom to text and Saban after being taken off the road, Auburn recruiting is very much alive.

Also, both coaches have won a recent National Championship.

You do know that, according to the NCAA, the Big East requested this new rule, right?

requesting and getting it pushed through are two different things...

Another thing, speaking of the "Meyer Rule", the "Sheban Rule" and the "Auburn Tigers Rule"...Coach Sheban was the only one that was breaking the rule in the first place, therefore the NCAA decided to take all of the HCs off of the road during evaluations because of it...because he was bumping all over the prospects, which was illegal.

That's actually a good point...one that Skarbo left out.  The implication was that all three of these situations were essentially the same, which isn't the case.  Rules regarding texting and 7 coaches going to a school didn't exist before Meyer and the Tiger Prowl. 

But there was already a rule about coaches only being able to "bump into" recruits during dead periods, and say no more than "hello".  Since the NCAA knew Saban was breaking the existing rule, but that there was no way to hold his hand on every trip, they decided coaches couldn't be trusted to stay within the spirit of the "bump" rule, so they took them off the trail completely for the Spring. 

Big difference.

Yup...there's also a difference between skirting the rules and breaking them at every High School, Coach Sheban was breaking them at every HS, the Tiger Prowl wasn't.  Suck on that bammers!!!!  No matter how bad you want to say that our coaches are a bunch of cheaters with the Tiger Prowl, ya can't, because it wouldn't be true.  But, when have bammers let truth get in the way of saying stupid things.

You will never hear me say the allbarn coaches were cheating. I mean if you ain't cheatin' you ain't trying. But really the allbarn coaches were not cheating just visiting players. Use your coaches as you see fit. Dumb rule plain and simple.

This is true. Whats being done here is essentially the same thing NASCAR did with trying to create disparity. It sucks. You shouldnt punish the schools with the resources to do these things.

Link showing that Alabama got it "pushed through"?
