there are clear cases and less clear cases - its annoying because the collusion concern has ruled out banter that was amusing along the lines of "watch out, I'm coming after you on Jones, and I've got millions in the bank...." or the like....
fd - were you around in the old days when the d1 guys were mock drafting on the coaches corners, guys would BS about going after someone elses recruits, post on other CC's to go after someone else, etc? I was more in d2/d3 then, by the time I got to high level d1 most of that had gone away.
major d1 conferences would have 50 posts a day then if I recall.
Problem was, where is that gray line drawn, between fun and going over the limit?
By the way, a distinction to all u guys calling the example collusion, in the strictest sense, I believe this is more a fair play violation - same penalty anyways, collusion is a 2 party agreement to bend the recruiting rules. In those very old days, some conferences may have actually drafted recruits, I'm thinking in the first couple seasons of d1 while tarek was still getting the bugs out.
FD, the game is hardly recognizable from those days, mostly to the good I suppose, but those days were exponentially more passionate and funny - weren't they?
