So you're on a visit to OU where OU is trying to convince you to come to their school but it's against the rules for them to put a Go Sooners sign in your room? Makes sense.

Often times recruits will take to social media to show off a spread of food and apparel that awaits them and their family upon entering their hotel rooms before making visits. That now looks to be the latest change being made by the NCAA."



Well, football is probably going to get busted, too. I saw a picture one of the players on an OV last month posted of a basket of Roll Tide cookies and shite on his bed at the Embassy Suites.

What a stupid rule.

How long do y'all reckon it'll take before the NCAA tries to rule that "...all signage and campus decorations which clearly display university name, team logos, slogans, school spirit or mascots (or likenesses thereof) must be painted over or covered with heavy, opaque tarpaulins prior to — and during — any official visit."

Yeah they hit us years ago for having the nerve to offer recruits a choice between peanut butter or cream cheese if they wanted a bagel.

I'm guessing the "decorations" were money trees in red baskets all over the rooms? Seems pretty petty in any case. Our recruiting chick lays out a bunch of swag crap on the bed and a few things on the dresser, but that's about it.

Tennessee and Alabama have been decorating recruits' hotel rooms for decades. Usually with hooers and suitcases full of cash.

The NCAA is a little late .... and, as usual, they're virtue signaling.

The NCAA needs to be abolished.

This is girls basketball. You think a program like Alabama pays girls basketball recruits.
