Hello, Hawk?
Now pardon me for just changing the issue
But all you sucker MC’s, it’s a must that I diss you...
The Buffs and Coach Hawk were preparing to scrimmage out of the public eye today at Regis High School. Get the team on the bus, away from campus, away from the pesky fans who might try to catch a glimpse of their team. Because they are marketed as Your Team.
Insert a Corso-esque "not so fast my friend" to that idea. The CU compliance office "advised" Hawk that wouldn't be such a good idea and now the scrimmage is back in Boulder.
Now, I don't like to toot my own horn (who hasn't tried, but you'd have to remove a rib or something) but I knew the scrimmage at Regis wouldn't be kosher in the eyes of the almighty NCAA as soon as I read the plan. Wyoming tried to do it at a Casper high school years back and the same thing happenned. If the NCAA allowed college teams to hold events at local high schools, it would just snowball until it became an all-out recruting event. Imagine Texas holding a practice at one of the Texas talent-rich high schools that have 10-15 blue chippers. Some stud QB is plying his wares in Ohio? What would stop the Buckeyes from holding a Ohio State all-out-press on the kid at his high school and bill it as a "scrimmage."
The thing is, if some low level booster who has some lame blog read bythousands hundreds a handful of people knew that it was not cool, why didn't one person in the Athletic Department, football staff, coaching staff, hell the dude who mows the grass- not know this rule?

Oooops! Makes us who bleed Black and Gold wonder what else they don't know.
