Rivals.com (yes or no)

One would think that if this was true, there would be stories about this. Especially on Rivals.com.

The NCAA is overly sensitive with the rectuiting game. Decisions like this are brought about just like the ones made about "no ripping goalposts down" in prior years. People look at worst case scenario's in n over paranoid world and act just plain dumb. Rivals is harmless. You want to find the problems with recruiting and such, find the street agents selling players, the over zealous parents, the coaches who act as used car salesmen, that's the issue. Not some recruiting website that provides highlights and arbitrary rankings. Typical NCAA bull****.

p.s. brought you by the same foks who scream about academic integrity as the reason for no playoff but allow a 12th game for the 2006 season and allot the NCAA Hoops tourney to roll without a hitch.

I doubt the NCAA would let players on the game be able to get into trouble but not let us go to Rivals.com on there.If so that's just being plain stupid.

yea i see no reason for it to be taken out.

I'll ask on the Rivals forums, the head of the company posts all the time. I'll let you guys know what I find out.

From Rivals' General Manager and Executive Vice President Bobby Burton:

We were informed that we wouldn't be in the game after all. That's what we know. Not sure what else to say.

They won't allow Rivals.com to be on the game, but they will allow recruiting violations such as bad grades, skipping clas, getting into fights, etc.
