2006 NCAA Rules Book posted on-line

REPLY: Go back to the site...my guess is that the timing rules are being "re-thunk."

Maybe I'm missing something, but it would seem to me that they could avoid a lot of hassle if they just warned everyone what the proposed rule changes were about a month in advance of actually deciding on them. That way if there was really a huge hue and cry (or an actual problem), it can be fixed before anyone says anything about books.

Bleeping Super! I just purchased the NCAA version of the simplified and illustrated book today. Please let me know what I should ignore...just timing rules or other stuff?

One will just have to hope the authors of other supplementary NCAA books will have the forsight to come out with some kind of errata and publish it on some yet unknown web site for all to update their purchased copy as needed.

Damn, there are a several published documentation out there potentially with errors now. Redding's NCAA guide and FRD manuals come to mind.

I just had the opportunity to listen to Dr. John Adams speak this past weekend. He doesn't know why the NCAA took the pdf file down. Our conference handed out the book this weekend. He thinks the problem is probably the oversight committee, who took their time reviewing rules changes. He didn't get to preview the publication before it went to press like he usually does, but he didn't anticipate anything major.

What meeting was this and which conference has new rulebooks already?

Seems strange that Mr Adams would not know why the thing was pulled since one would assume he is the one rewriting the sections that need "significant alteration".

the meeting was the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference football meetings. The point is that he at the time of the meeting new nothing of it being re written.
