Houston basketball star Rob Gray suspended by NCAA for playing in church rec league game
As Houston men’s basketball opens up its season on Friday, the Cougars will be without star senior scorer Rob Gray. Gray has been suspended by the NCAA for one-game for an incredibly strange reason: He played in a church rec league game this summer.
That’s against NCAA rules.
So if you’re keeping track of NCAA rulings at home: You shouldn’t go to class if you want to transfer, you can take paper classes without punishment and you can’t play in a church league. All right.
Like i said, then it’s already too late and there is no way to control it. So why worry about it? Go look at the twitter feed of any recruit and click on it, every recruit has tweets from every fan of the schools recruiting him and or fans that want them. If the NCAA chooses to do it, everybody is screwed. They won’t open Pandora’s box IMO. They have plenty of other ways to nail programs if they want. They won’t open that can of worms.
You're making a good point that it's a far fetched violation... in that it would be hard to hold the university accountable for actions taken by fans on social media... and that there could be fake accounts made just to get rivals in trouble.
I go along with Cajun T's advice not to contact "croots" on social media... not because we'd get in trouble with the NCAA directly from it... but that we just don't need the issue. More times than not, the NCAA gets on the trail of a program over accusation A... only to find evidence B to stick on them.
But I am in agreement with you... I don't think the NCAA is going after any program... directly... over tweets from fans to recruits. But we do not need to test them. If they were ever looking to set a precedent... we'd be one of the programs they'd "t-shirt violation" in a split second.
Never underestimate the stupidity, ineptness and corruption of the NCAA. Basically, they are an organized crime syndicate.
