Toward the end of 2023, the NCAA began to crack down on legislation for recruiting visits, stating that schools can no longer arrange photo shoots for prospects during unofficial visits. That’s not the only change being made.

On Thursday, 247Sports’ Andrew Ivins reported that the NCAA sent out an email stating that schools “can no longer decorate prospect’s hotel rooms on officials,” and added that “all cookie cakes and snacks must be handed to recruits in lobby.”

Eye-popping hotel room setups are now set to return back to beige walls. Recruits will now have to settle for carrying cookie cake up to their room, instead.

Out of all the things the NCAA wants to address

Some of these rules, like the photoshoot one for unofficial visits, are made because they are petitioned for by the schools themselves. The arms races has gotten out of control, and the time demands of the support staff are wayyyyy out of control.

So they ask the NCAA to be the bad guy and ban the things that are time and labor intensive so they don't work the support staff to death.

On the surface, it's a trivial thing to ban. Realistically, it probably helps the schools quite a bit to stop worrying about doing some of this dumb shite.

This is about the NCAA wanting to feel like a big swinging dick by forcing something, even if it is this petty.

They know that schools won’t want to blow money on lawyers to fight this one when there are bigger problems to deal with.

How out of touch is this organization
The US government runs better then this shite .
You can literally hand a kid a bag of cash to sway them to come to your school but decorating a hotel room is just to much......

The NCAA is so fricking lame. We have massive issues with essentially unrestricted free agency with no salary cap, but no we have to address fricking bed decorations and cookies. What a joke

Normally you just send a “campus guide” to them to suck their dick.

I can see the headlines now:

Arkeedies Moffet has been ruled ineligible for the 2026 season because he did not carry his own damn cookie cake to his own bland hotel room.

Marqueson Proffit has been suspend 4 games because a fan slipped a hand written note under his hotel room door.
