There was definitely something in place. I remember a Notre Dame QB (Jimmy Clausen?) going to Roger Goodall's suite because he spent forever in the green room. I think a lot of guys decided to stay home after that just in case. I am not sure that it is any better having the cameras in your house tbh. I don't know what can be done without exposing teams to having the player they want leaked. It is just seems like the NFL flew him out to New York and then all of a sudden, walked him into the Maury Povich Show studios to find out if he is the father.
