I thought about this after reading about Michigan's problem with the NCAA concerning scouting. It has to do with teams not being able to scout teams in person. I remember in the early days of the Mulcahy Center how you would often see a guy with an open notebook, drawing diagrams and writing notes. And I can't understand why it is no longer allowed. I do know in tournament games, after playing in the first game, you often see a couple of assistant coaches sitting courtside watching the team that they'll next be playing. While I don't know why, I'm sure there is a reason for the NCAA rule. Anyone know?

NCAA Bylaw 11.6.1 (2013) states: “Off-campus, in-person scouting of future opponents (in the same season) is prohibited.” There is an exception for Conference or NCAA Championship games or if you are a tournament event at the same site with dsome other team.
The stealing of signals is not illegal but doing so during a game while intercepting electronic signals is prohibited.

86, thank you. But, why do you think that the NCAA prohibited off=campus scouting? Is it about the costs associated with it, and does it make sense to you?

86, thank you. But, why do you think that the NCAA prohibited off=campus scouting? Is it about the costs associated with it, and does it make sense to you? Initially the NCAA banned in-person advanced scouting in 1994 in part because not every school could afford to do it. Since it is a valuable tool and some could not afford it, it gave the wealthy programs a major leg up. Also back in the day you would have a grad assistant go scout from the press box, they would then exchange tapes with the opposing team. Now the exchange is done digitally. No need for visits to obtain video. Originally it was Football, hoops and volleyball were the sports that banned it, then it went to all sports in 2014. Even that vote showed how the big schools wanted it left alone as the rule survived an override vote where 55.2 percent of schools and conferences voted to override the ban, falling short of the 62.5 percent needed to overturn the rule. So it is an effort to keep it "fair" which is a joke as the NCAA kisses the power conferences asses and looks the other way when the big schools pull shit. |

86, thanks. And in the words of Paul Harvey, "And now we know the rest of the story".
