Because the smaller schools without the big bugets can find the kids at these AAU events. Now they have to go all over the country to schools to try and find players. Who wins that game. The majors? They have the resourses to be in Podunk Pa. to see Dushon Star play where Hofstra can`t hope to take their private jet cause they don`t have one.

The NCAA settled this Sherman Anti-Trust case out of court. The NCAA passed this exact rule and it was taken out in the settlement. The men forgot about it and are bringing it back. If it goes in, it will be another round of legal actions. And the reason, Elite Boys Basketball which will play regardless of college coaches or not. Be informed before you write. HS coaches are on the take the same as travel if you want to paint that. They want the perks directed their way too. You forgot the mention the other proposal where college coaches can RECRUIT at their own events. No more "instructional." Full-blown recruiting from the start with parents, players. Every college camps a recruiting camp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372258102423167122.post-20194943687828925272010-01-07T17:01:09.910-05:002010-01-07T17:01:09.910-05:00Good Article, however the economy/power is a big f...Good Article, however the economy/power is a big factor with the NCAA's proposoal on closing the D1 gates. If you (event director) signed a contract with a D1 site (Hoop Group/King James/Take 5ive etc) before the proposal was announced then you will be grandfathered into the system for the first year. If you haven't....then you will just have to wait and see what goes down at the NCAA meeting. The NCAA has already passed rulings on AAU coaches/mentors with scouting services and non-profit donation programs such as 501c, by not allowing NCAA programs to fund those accounts. I feel the NCAA is giving power back to high school coaches and wouldn't be surpised if they opened up a week of evaluation in the month of June for high school Team Camps or Shootouts. High School coaches have a stronger chain of command then Grassroots members. (Principals/Athletic Directors/Supers etc) With the tough economic times, colleges are also effected with travel costs, rental cars, hotels, etc. This is why non-D1 sites will now make events Regional and allow for less slush-funds and backstage handshakes. I strongly feel all-star college camps and individual events will be the new wave of recruiting. For Lebron's camp that can now be hosted at the Cav's practice facility or another Pro Venue if needed. <br /> I feel AAU will still be around, just not as powerful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372258102423167122.post-61715062634989514652010-01-07T14:30:41.416-05:002010-01-07T14:30:41.416-05:00Clay Dade wouldn't be invited back to Kentucky...Clay Dade wouldn't be invited back to Kentucky anyway.
