Why does the NCAA try to restrict the money paid to athletes, but now is willing to say there are no restrictions on messaging?
And BTW, why should the NCAA be regulating any of this stuff anyway? Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! wrote a column this week about how the NCAA is trying to stop the flow of money in a market-driven economy, to preserve the notion of amateurism. He pointed out, I think correctly, that the Olympics used to only feature amateurs and did fine after allowing professionals.
What would be so bad with schools paying recruits to come to their school anyway? It's not like the rich schools aren't already getting the best players.
