To accurately replicate gameday they'd need to find 110,000 of the quietest people in the world just to sit in the stadium for a visit. That'd be tough to do.

Stupid rule IMO.

Who cares if you simulate a gameday experience? Cant kids come on an official visit during an actual gameday? So whats the point to this rule.

I think the key is that the prospect is being treated like a player, rather than watching the game as a guest. Anyway, I don't think the issue is whether it's a silly rule or not. It's the fact that the UT staff is breaking the rules.

No I realize that and your comment about being there is a guest is valid. Im just sayin the rule itself seems a bit silly to me. That being said, Im actually glad about the violation. Should be the first of many for these clowns.

Just unbelievably stupid to turn every other coach against you and give other schools recruiting fodder*** they wouldn't have had if he weren't such a loose cannon. He was in over his head in the NFL and he's apparently in over his head again.

I can't help but picture that with him downing a bottle of Jack Daniels like Belushi, then busting it over his skull.

That's funny as hell! There's going to be more than a few "needs second look" looks on that! I'm just imagining the flipside of that with the Gameday crew...

So I guess UT would not be able to violate any recruiting rule, by this logic, unless they packed the stadium for a recruits visit.
They don't do that on gamedays either.
