New NCAA Recruiting Rules Display Remarkable Commitment to Unenforceability, Petulance

Via the Good Doctor, news that the NCAA brass, in addition to being noted albeit toothless opponents of freedom, America, and ponies, are dead-set against institutional continuity:

↵The NCAA has approved a new rule that limits coaches-in-waiting having direct contact with recruits. Assistant coaches are allowed more contact with recruits than a head coach, and now coaches-in-waiting have been confined to the same limits as head coaches.
↵We’re all thinking the same thing, right? That this is clearly a ploy to get the defensive-minded Will Muschamp frustrated to the point of fleeing to the currently DC-less Florida Gators, where he will serve as a shadow head coach with all attendant powers while Urban Meyer gets drunk on piña coladas with Mike Leach in Key West? Right. Just remember where you heard it first.
