To Tweet Or Not To Tweet

Dang. First time I've ever run out of +1s so I can't help you out but :laughpound

 
No way to enforce it. Have you people not heard of the NCAA before?

Ask a Penn State fan if the NCAA can arbitrarily decide to enforce a rule - even if they have no jurisdiction over the situation and no rule really exists to cover it.

Anyone saying they can't/won't enforce this rule is fooling themselves. Let's just hope they don't decide to enforce it at us. SMH
You're comparing institutional cover-up of child rape to tweeting recruits. Try again.
How about you realize that no analogy is 1:1 and stop being a dumbass you little shitstain?

 
Wow, since were dropping bombs, i'll join in too...

Hey Army, stop being a f'tard and tweeting these kids. We don't need anyone f'ing up things worse than they already are. If you were a chick and doing this, I'd understand, because you'd be trying to bang them, I'm not sure what your endgame is??

It literally is not 1:1 and you sound like a fudgin retard even implying that.

The same as if it were a chick!

How not surprising that you, again, didn't get that. Stop while you're behind.

My bad, misread that. You're right. No analogy is 1:1, but the one you chose is like 2187491259327965:1 soooooooo..... yeah.....
It doesn't matter. The degree of difference is irrelevant.

Just keep focusing on the fact that it's not the same. Ignore the actual point being made.
knapp, it was a bad comparison. yes, we all know how arbitrary the ncaa can be. but you are comparing the huge criminal scandal of one school with the tiny transgressions probably every school does.

and the ncaa has stepped in. it amounted to nothing:

First things first. Michigan, Notre Dame and Tennessee, as a result of recent recruiting missteps committed on Twitter by four football players, are not going on probation.Well, Michigan is already on probation, but that's another story that involves a three-year mess, otherwise known as Rich Rodriguez's stint in Ann Arbor.

The actions of Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert, Justin Meredith of Tennessee and Michigan linebacker Kenny Demens and receiver Roy Roundtree won't jeopardize their programs' postseason eligibility. The schools will not lose scholarships because of what happened.

At worst, we're talking about secondary violations, which are commonplace and usually amount to little. Demens and Roundtree sent congratulations over Twitter to Mike McCray after the Trotwood-Madison (Ohio) ESPNU Watch List linebacker committed to the Wolverines on March 6.
that is an apt comparison, but not completely because those are players on the team vs. little 'ole army allen.

if the ncaa did anything meaningful to neb. because of army allen, it would be worth it. it would be worth it for the uproar and the stain on the ncaa's embarrassing record. maybe it would be straw that broke the camel's back. besides, the ncaa is busy trying to figure out what the hell happened in miami to care about anything else.

 
Are you people on crack? The example was of the NCAA doing something arbitrary and stupid and you're going on and on about how ill the analogy is. Give me a break.

I give an example of the NCAA being stupid. You give an example of the NCAA being stupid. Net takeaway - the NCAA is stupid.

Thank god we had to hash the hell out of that analogy before we landed on one that adequately showed how stupid the NCAA is but isn't too extreme. It was so important that we do that.

Maybe now we can get on with the concept that the NCAA is stupid, and tempting them to take action and show that stupidity is also stupid.

Ok.... but you can't compare the two :sarcasm

you were saying that we should be worried about fans tweeting to recruits because the ncaa punished a school for a child rape scandal. that was your argument. we are saying that is a ridiculous argument, which it is. to refute your argument, as poorly constructed as it was, i demonstrated how the ncaa has punished tweeters and it amounted to nothing. the ncaa would be acting arbitrary and capricious if the plucked neb. to sanction because of army allen, i would love to see that.

we are bashing your analogy because that was the example you used to support your argument, the premise of which we disagree. we eviscerated your example and refuted the premise, that is how arguments work.

I don't think Knapp's comparison was intended to compare the two on a criminal scale. Naturally, when thinking of NCAA actions, Penn St. is recent enough to quickly come to mind....

nor do i. but it was used to explain how the ncaa reacts.
