I'm not in favor of the new rules as I see it only benefitting the coach. But, I guess I should expect that from the NCAA. If the NCAAs goal was to simplify, they did it but at the expense of the high school recruit.
Basically, a recruit can be contacted by a coach any time the coach wants. What about the high school student? I see this as being a huge potential distraction that will pull the high school student away. Junior and senior years are difficult enough for some students with their many high school sports, academic loads, standardized tests and college visits. Putting the 24x7x365 college recruiting on top of it is the wrong direction for the NCAA IMHO.
The NCAA has shown their true colors on this policy change.

The problem is potential recruits and high school coaches don't have a voice with the NCAA. They're rarely if ever consulted on rules changes. On the other hand, college coaches have associations to ***** and lobby for change on their behalf. Some of the rules are ticky tacky and call out for change, but simply eliminating rules is potential chaos. Chalk it up as another swing and a miss by the NCAA braintrust.

Please refrain from using the term NCAA Brain Trust.
That is a contradictory term!
Is that for every sport or just football?
Keep in mind that all sports have different recruiting rules.

The article says every sport.
My problem is that my HS kid already is glued to his phone texting. What happens when he gets 100 more texts a day from various colleges, mostly from a recruiting coordinator or person hired to send texts to all potential recruits. We may have to get a temporary phone to keep things seperate.
