[h1]Murphy: Death of Boise State recruit Emil Smith highlights NCAA's puzzling flaws[/h1]

Leave it to the NCAA to regulate how much contact a member school can have with prospective student athletes and their families - even when they are dead.

It's a rule that needs changing.

Boise State football recruit Emil Smith died in a July 18 car accident in Hemet, Calif. His brother Dimitri Garcia, 22, also died in the accident.

Garcia, a father of two young children, was driving the speeding yellow Dodge Neon. Smith, a passenger, was a star football player entering his senior year at Rancho Verde High who had committed to attend Boise State on June 23.

Smith said the Broncos' coaching staff was influential in his decision to join the Broncos' 2011 recruiting class. Running backs coach Keith Bhonapha was Smith's primary recruiter.

"What really fascinated me was the coaching staff. I really liked the coaching staff," Smith told me during a phone call in late June. "They showed me a lot of love. They were very enthusiastic about what they were doing."

Recruiting - the very act of convincing an 18-year-old to leave home and become part of your family - requires a close bond.

It is easy to tell which coaches recruited which player in the Boise State football offices, special teams coordinator Jeff Choate said, because the players will always stop by to say hello.

"It's like they're your child kind of. You have that kind of relationship with them," Choate said. "You get to know these kids, the ins and outs. You have really honest conversations with them."

But when Smith died, the Broncos' coaching staff was handcuffed by NCAA rules.

Because Smith had not signed a National Letter of Intent (NLI) - signing day is in February - Boise State coaches could not comment on Smith.

They could not attend his funeral. They could not send flowers. They could not call his grieving parents or any other family members.

"There was nothing the school could do," said Scott Hobbs, Boise State's assistant athletic director for compliance.

Hobbs said the Broncos contacted officials at other schools, the Western Athletic Conference and the Mountain West Conference to discuss their options.

The answer was the same.

In phone conversations with Hobbs, he was careful never to reference Smith by name. Instead, he outlined the NCAA bylaws that Boise State felt compelled to obey.

Such as NCAA Bylaw 13.10.2, which states member institutions may only confirm its recruitment of a prospective student-athlete before he or she signs a NLI.

Or NCAA Bylaw 13.2.9, which outlines how large of a donation or other token of support ($100) a school may provide in the event of his or her death, provided he/she has signed an NLI.

No phone calls are allowed from a team to players or their families from between June 1 and Aug. 31, Hobbs said, meaning no Boise State coach could call Smith's parents.

Since no off-campus contact is allowed - and since Smith's funeral was to be attended by his teammates (or, in NCAA parlance, recruitable athletes) - even the funeral was off-limits.

In recent years, the NCAA has taken steps to be more sensitive to student-athletes' needs. But the organization still has work to do.

They can start with this issue - and afford schools with verbal commitments the same latitude in dealing with deaths that it does for players in the program.

It is, fortunately, a rare occurrence. And it should be handled with more dignity and respect than the NCAA currently allows.
 
I read that today, sad situation.

Notre Dame lately has not shied away from filling its football schedules with marquee names.

The latest example? The Irish are planning to mess with Texas.

Notre Dame and the Big 12 powerhouse Longhorns are "very close" to finalizing a four-game series for future games, sources told the Tribune.

The series could begin in 2015, sources said. The rest of the details are unknown, such as if it would be simply a pair of home-and-homes or involve games at off-campus venues.

But it would be another recent statement that Notre Dame remains in the business of big names and big venues on its schedule. The Irish also have firmed up plans to rekindle their rivalry with Miami in a 2012 game at Soldier Field.

The Irish and Longhorns have met 10 times before -- three times in the Cotton Bowl between 1969 and 1977 -- but have not played each other since 1996. Notre Dame owns an 8-2 advantage in the all-time series.

Maintaining that lead would be quite the challenge against the current incarnation of Texas football, as the Longhorns have won 10 games for nine straight seasons and snared a national title in 2005. They're ranked No. 5 in the 2010 preseason coaches poll.
But there's no shortage of history to the matchup: Entering 2010, only Michigan (877) has won more college football games than Texas (845) and Notre Dame (837).

I didnt know the NCAA banned two-a-days

the staff has split the team into two squads, one practices in the morning, the other in the evening. for more reps and more tempo.

Are Cutters still the best gloves out there?

When those things were brand new it was impossible to drop a ball.
 
This was taken from mgoblog.com. I think my hate for this douche is all time high for a coach. He is just a complete moron.


For the duration of his tenure, Joe Tiller was infamously supposed to be the guy behind Tom Dienhart's *****y anonymous quotes in the Sporting News. So it's good to know that the mustachioed Wilford Brimley impersonator doesn't fall far from the diabeetus commercial:
"We've had about 90 kids on campus all summer and they've been in summer school. We don't have a general studies major at Purdue so they've had to take real classes too."


This, as anyone who remembers the grand tenure of Garrett Bushong can tell you, is hypocritcal bunk. Purdue is an engineering college full of nerds that preserves a small section of itself so it can jam Big Ten athletes onto its campus. This is totally fine by me as long as their head coach doesn't take shots at Michigan for doing the same thing. Presenting the Purdue major breakdown*:

60% of Purdue's declared majors are either in one specific fake major or physical education. 90% of them are in stuff like the aforementioned, construction, or the usual diet of communications/sociology. Danny Hope should stick to personal grooming tips during his public appearances. That is all.
 
Seantrel doesn't look like he got THAT out of shape.

Carlos Hyde looks swole up in Columbus.

I really really want to steal the "I ain't scared of you bish" line but am scared to.
