NCAA Bars Schools From Subscribing to Rivals
From Team Speed Kills:
Jon Infante of the Bylaw Blog reported today that the NCAA has ruled that institutions can no longer subscribe to Rivals.com affiliated sites. The rationale "is that Rivals provides video of nonscholastic competition that is not available to the general public."

I'm no lawyer,
But this is retarded. Those videos most certainly are available to the general public – for a price. If the only barrier to viewing the information is the payment a nominal fee, I fail to see how that amounts to receiving privileged information.

Look for the NCAA
to start up it’s own version of Rivals. The issue is not of advantage. It is of the NCAA not getting it’s cut.

I get the feeling the move is along the lines of “if we say rivals/scout are secondary violations, then we can say using ‘street agents’ are serious violations”

Good point
Mine, on the other hand, was tongue in cheek.

Be interesting to
see what comes next. Be even more interesting to see what they do, if anything, to a coach who own his own dime pays the fee to join Rivals.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
that's about the same thing I was thinking
They might wind up in court over this, as stated already anyone can acces rivals/scout, as soon as they pay the fee.
that should be ON his own
