billiken_roy Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 that the reason kevin lisch did not have his visit yesterday was that apparently the ncaa is now in one of their "dead periods". i.e. just any contact with kevin during this time might constitute an illegal contact that could have prevented kevin from even considering slu. thus, the visit was actually rescheduled a while back so as not to mess up the recruitment. i am glad this was caught, but my question is how could it even have been close to happening? one would think there is a big calendar on the wall with big red xx's all over the "dead period" days for the whole year and all the coaches and assistant coaches have their vacations scheduled during these times. am i missing something here? isnt that "business scheduling 101"?

kshoe Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I was thinking the exact same sentiments you expressed in your second paragraph. If the story is true that Kevin was scheduled for this weekend and the reason it was truly cancelled was the dead period and the dead period wasn't just recently announced then something is seriously wrong.

Quickdraw Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 The last time I heard discussion of a "dead period" I started worrying about being a father again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quality Is Job 1 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Perhaps Kevin Lisch said that he wanted to take a visit at that time but the athletic department informed him that they couldn't do it then. But even if it was scheduled by the AD and then cancelled, at least it was cancelled first so that they didn't have to declare him ineligible and ask to reinstate him or (worse) withdraw from recruiting him (particularly if it's where he really wants to go). However, secondary violations do occur -- they are inadvertent mistakes against an unwieldy set of rules (a humongous set of rules). I don't think even SLU is immune to committing occasional secondary violation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trich Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 If this weekend was a dead period or downtime for recruiting and visits, what is the story on the other scheduled visit this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketbill Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 for Newborne as he would be a 2004 recuit and Lisch would be for 2005........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUTGR Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I can tell you that for some reason even the most obvious and straightforward NCAA rules can be extremely difficult to remember and follow, even for someone, for example, with a law degree and MBA from Duke, who may think that all rules are open to interpretation. That example is for illustrative purposes only, and was not intended to refer to any specific person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
