I guess the NCAA has yet again muddled where they are not needed by prohibiting the "showcase" of performance at college fields. You see it now when a showcase previously held at a college site must be split up into the showcase part, running 60 etc. from the games the teams play.

Can someone explain the NCAA motivation for this. I know "PG Staff" alluded to it in another thread but I don't recall why they are doing it?

They don't post reasons why on their web-site...I Looked...But...From what I understand, from talking to a few people last week, it is to prevent the top schools with the big reputations from an unfair advantage. For instance, colleges with bigger budgets can afford to stage a SPARQ type of evaluation, get more people to attend as a result and have a chance to evaluate an athlete on different athletic criteria...whereas a smaller college may not have the available resources or manpower...In the minds of the NCAA, that's considered unfair. IMO, a bigger budget and more high profile school, is going to have a unfair advantage no matter what...that's the difference between a winning program and a losing program...
Anyway...despite the ruling..The colleges found a loophole and conduct the Speed and agility testing at a JC or Public park...So, nothing is really gained or lost in this odd ruling...Typical NCAA stuff.
