3rd Assistant Coach Rule Fails to Pass

but they would also big giving the big boys more power to pay even more folks even more, eventually enough to shut down small programs completely, then how would those futures look for next generation of youngsters.

whats next 40 scholarships? how many good players would then choose small programs? are we even sure they arent getting 40 now, does anyone ever see the checks the “walk ons” allegedly pay the skools for tuition since they arent on scholarship

found this.......pay attn to “corporate sponsorship” and i was surprised to see the volunteer may recruit more than we realized.....

“The "third assistant" or "volunteer assistant" as it's often called, is paid from other sources available to the program. Typical sources include camp revenues, corporate sponsorship (i.e. equipment contracts), and radio/TV shows. It's also not unusual for third assistants to serve as paid clinic/camp instructors and/or summer team coaches when their college duties don't conflict.

As you might imagine, the compensation associated with these third assistantships can vary quite a bit from program to program; depending upon the size and number of non-university revenue sources associated with each program. However, they are invariably full-time, paid assistantships; causing the term "volunteer assistant" to be a misnomer. Because of this, more and more programs are dropping the "volunteer" part and referring to this person simply as an "assistant coach."

As full-time assistants, they are usually asked to be involved in a wide range of coaching responsibilities; although, their background will tend to cause them to spend more time on either the hitting or pitching side of the coaching to be done.

More often than not, they are given a full seat at the coaching table. However, there is one enforced distinction from the NCAA: They usually cannot travel expressly for recruiting purposes. I say "usually" because the actual regulation stipulates that no more than 3 coaches may be designated as traveling recruiters. However, they can be actively engaged in correspondence with recruits (subject to other general restrictions, of course), and they can recruit when on their own campus. “

The Sun Belt voted yes

thread after thread about the sun belt’s poor decisions and how we need to leave......but now you think they voted correctly on an sec proposed bill?

....turns out the “grad assistant” doesnt have to be a graduate school student after all.... hmmm more wool pulled over our eyes all this time, but that certainly clears up a lot of questions.

Gonna make some pretty big names in college baseball available soon

How will this make coaches leave? Thats an interesting point! Thanks in advance!

[DaddyCajun]

Now I understand and totally agree! Why NOT Give the Individual programs/Universities/Conferences the OPTION? Wow, Big12 and Big10, wow!

Well clearly I’m disappointed, but that didn’t fail exclusively by two conferences. There’s 3 P5 in addition, and all the G5 and FCS also in Div I baseball.

It did not fail exclusively by 2, BUT:

P5 leagues got 4 votes each, G5 2 each, and everyone else 1.

We paying one we don’t want, why do we need to pay another.
