RE: Coach K/Amex Recruiting Commercial

[Shinkle, Randy]

Influential others are talking about this as well:
 
    http://www.indystar.com/articles/2/233526-3822-036.html
 
Excerpt:
 
Brand said he has heard complaints from some conference commissioners
and athletic directors about the ubiquitous television commercials
featuring Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski during the NCAA Tournament. 

The critics say it creates an unfair recruiting advantage, but Brand
said no rule prevents it.  Even if the NCAA wanted to adopt such a rule,
he said, it would probably be illegal under antitrust laws.

I don't think that the commercial will either help or hurt dook
recruiting.  They don't really have to recruit, just "select" which
players they want, they are already lined up.  Coach K is portrayed in a
certain light but behind closed doors, at halftime, he is exactly like
Huggs, they just don't include that.  Let's not worry about their
program, let's worry about our 3 scholly's left and by the way, are
there going to be three or four left since Chadd Moore will be a medical
redshirt?

	I'm surprised that nobody has commented on the AMEX commercial
during the tournament games featuring Coach K. Does anyone else feel
like that commercial borders on a recruiting commercial? I just think
they're really pushing the envelope. Does anyone know if there are NCAA
rules preventing this kid of thing?
