Therefore: 1) You failed to include a category the states that Ad/DisAd does NOT ever apply; and 2) The Tower Philosophy makes your poll invalid.

Mark, I have two questions, both intended respectfully:

(1) Doesn't option #2 ("Advantage/disadvantage applies to no violations") say the same thing as "Ad/DisAd does NOT ever apply to violations"?

(2) If the NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's Rules Committees are "quite clear" that Ad/DisAd does not ever apply to violations, why do you think it is that my HS assignor and the D1 assignor for the guy deecee spoke to seem to espouse a different view. (In other words: why do so many people get it wrong?)

Thanks for any insights you can give.
