Why the whining? Nothing is official until a student-athlete signs an NCAA national letter of intent. Doesn't the prospective student still have the final decision in the recruiting process?
NCAA rules on potential recruits stop just short of telling them how many times they have to chew their food on campus visits...if this was a big deal, there's be a rule against it....

Recruiting is cut throat and nothing is final until the student signs the letter. It is not uncommon for athletes to back out on verbals.
This kid in question is probably good, but NDSU has bigger problems if we are still recruiting primarily the same athletes as the fighting sux. I hope all the Bison coaches realize that fact.
Holy cow, so many UND fans know about this alleged phone call that I figure they must still use party lines up in UND-land
Anyway, it is funny that the Gossipping Girls of Sue U are complaining about this when the only way they could possibly know for sure is by violating NCAA regulations.
Edit: *This seems like a good time to point out that no NDSU fans should be having any conversations with potential recruits that go beyond "Hello" and "Goodbye". Talking to a prospect or their families about their recruiting is a serious violation of NCAA rules when you are a booster of a university interested in them. Don't do it.
So can a friend talk to a friend? Can family members talk to one another?Originally Posted by tony
Tony, I see were you are coming from, that if all those who said they have heard it to be true were boosters and had talked to the recruit one-on-one then there would be a violation in there. But, I'm guessing that the recruit herself talked to no one (except Amy :-X )
No one is saying that Amy is breaking violations, but this is just something you don't do. Especially after she hadn't contacted her more then just a letter. Now they offer her the farm? Come on.
I hope Amy is asked about this in the media. Just to see what she comes up with. I don't think most would side with her if she pulled out the "Minnesota did it..." argument.
If the shoe was on the other foot, Bison fans would be crying foul. I've never had anything less then respect for Amy Ruley, but that is gone now!

Amy can't comment on recruiting specifics until after the November signing date.

You say if the shoe were on the other foot, Bison fans would be crying foul!! I doubt it.
This is another example of why NDSU is DI and und is stuck at DII. Crying and whining over nothing!!
You're kidding right?Originally Posted by RedRiver
Everything UND does Bison fans get up in arms on this site.
Most UND fans don't talk much about the Bison, that is until they pull crap like this.
I also find it funny that NDSU is offering her the farm. Why would Amy try to get sneaky and steal a lowly D-II recruit by offering her everything? Come on.
Classless.
