Reply to "New NCAA Regulations Concerning Recruiting Services and Videos"

OK...lets not jump off any buildings here.

The only part of this that is new is the ruling regarding "combines" held on college campuses. The net effect of this is more of a football issue, as it makes the Nike Combines held in the April/May contact period a thing of the past. The wording refers to "agility,flexibility, strength or speed tests." In fact, I'm trying to get some clarification on this myself as we plan to hold a workout (BP, pregame etc) this fall for coaches that are in town for the Fall Classic and are considering a college facility.
The video rule has always been in effect. In essence, a company can shoot a skills video for you, but you have to send it to the school. Its always been that way.
The key word here is "subscribe". A school cannot, for example, pay for a service that videos a showcase and charges to view it online. This would allow people to run events during Quiet periods and charge for the video....illegal.
Again, mom and dad can send the same video to the coach all day long.
