Do you feel that these video conferences are worth counting as a visit? My initial thought is that I would rather the coach save his visits for face to face contact, but I haven’t really thought that much about it.
As for this rule being changed at a later date…I don’t see why it would be. It seems like a legit form of contact that will be monitored effectively by several groups.
I think these are a good thing for coaches and players. Just like the quotes in Scarbinsky’s column from the high school. You get the benefit of seeing each other eye-to-eye. That’s really cool.
I doubt the rule will be changed; however, we all know the bureaucrats at the NCAA (just like bureaucrats in government) like to make rules. So, I guess we’ll just have to see.
I am obviously biased, but I think the video confrences are great idea. I think that is obvious how communication will work in the future.
Capstone,
The article regarding taxes was very interesting. I live in Georgia, and we face a similar situation. We had an alleged drought this summer, and we were put on water restrictions. People reduced their level of consumption of water, and thus the government raised less money. Of course, the goverment responded in the only way they know how, they raised prices. There have been other states and cities that have been hit with this througout the South.
Taxes run counterintuitive to the way a free market should work. I think you will see more of this in local goverments in the next year or two as tax revenue decreases due to the slowing in the economy. Goverment is the only institute that does not have to cut its spending when their revenues decrease.
Governments should learn that increased prices yields lower consumption. But they’ll never learn that lesson because they keep their jobs regardless of performance.
Anyone want to bet that either one of our slovenly SEC coaches or some NCAA priss-o-crat will say he’s defying the “spirit” of the law?
It’s very odd that the Capstone has become another stooge of Big Oil. Please keep in mind the well documented fraud of Exxon cheating Residents of Millions in Royalties will live in Infamy – along with the bought and paid for State Supreme Court that sanctioned the Theft. Ask somebody the next time they fill up whether they give a damn about the poor oil companies having to pay more. Stick to Sports and stay away from being an stooge of Big Oil and the Alabama Business Council.
I think the web cam stuff counts as a phone call. Could be mistaken.
Nice article, Capstone;-)
Great, so now anybody who criticizes ostacles to economic growth is nothing more than a stooge for corporations. That makes as much sense as me saying Gov. Riley’s in the tank for Hugo Chavez.
Wow, I’m now a shill for Big Oil. 🙂
I’d have run that story whether it was Big Oil or Wal-Mart being taxed.
The worst thing you can do during an economic downturn is raise taxes. During a recession, government should cut taxes and increase spending. That’s why you have a balanced budget during the good years, so you can run a deficit in the bad times.
But back to the Investor’s Business Daily column. You can’t raise taxes without the cost of the tax being passed on to the consumer.
That’s simple economics. The corporation doesn’t really pay the tax—the people who buy the products pay the tax. But taxing Big Oil just sounds all populist.
Damn proud to be the Populist Sir. I wish it was simple economics and not the usual hidden agenda. Consider this – when Riley can get a Bipartisan Coalition of “everybody” that matters to advocate the new tax on Big Oil – That makes my argument. To hell with Politics – let’s call it a day and go after that Aubie Ass.
