Stupid NCAA

From ESPN: The NCAA has determined that UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma committed a secondary rules violation when he made a phone call congratulating Little League pitching star Mo'ne Davis last month, the school announced Thursday.
Athletic director Warde Manuel said the school accepts the decision but does not agree with it.
Auriemma told reporters Wednesday that he talked to the 13-year-old Philadelphia girl at Little League headquarters during the Little League World Series after a friend of his in the Philadelphia 76ers organization suggested it.
Davis, who is also a standout basketball player, was the 18th girl to play in the event and the only one to win a game on the mound. She told reporters during the World Series that her dream was to play point guard for the nine-time national champion Huskies. Her Taney Dragons team reached the Little League semifinals.
Manuel said Auriemma checked with the school's compliance department before getting on the phone and was told the 13-year-old would not be considered a prospective student athlete and the call was permissible.
"The nature of coach Auriemma's two-minute conversation with Mo'ne had nothing to do with recruiting and instead had everything to do with congratulating and encouraging Mo'ne to continued success," Manuel said.
The school said it's not sure whether the NCAA will impose any sanctions, but Manuel said he considers the matter to be closed.  http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/11467117/ncaa-says-geno-auriemma-call-mone-davis-broke-rule
How pathetic and paranoid is the NCAA that a 2 minute phone call from a NCAA coach to a middle school student is considered a violation.
I'm surprised the NCAA doesn't have athletes raise their hands when they have to go to the bathroom.
