ISU basketball had its secret scrimmage against Central Michigan this morning in Indy. Shhh! Don't tell anyone.
Bradley's secret scrimmage is over also - I heard it went well but don't know if there was a "winner"..
One poster on the Sycamore forum says they didn't look too good from "what he heard from someone who was there"? Gant didn't play because of sprain or something minor. The last few Sycamore teams have been pretty good out of the gate. Remains to be seen if this group will be?
Yes, that is true. There is nothing in the NCAA rule that prohibits schools or coaches from discussing these "closed scrimmages" before or after they occur. Schools go overboard with their secrecy out of fear of the NCAA, but the NCAA rules do not require that. They only require that the scrimmages remain closed except to necessary personnel to run the scrimmage, and that no "official" score or stats be kept.
Here is the rule about closed scrimmages from the NCAA rule book-
“Only athletics department staff members and those individuals necessary to conduct the practice scrimmage may be present during the scrimmage. Further, the institution must ensure the scrimmage is free from public view and media are not in attendance.”
“An official score and/or statistics for the practice scrimmage may not be kept. However, an institution may keep score and/or statistics for private use.
An institution may not provide the score and/or any statistics to any type of media outlet.”
Indiana State also has an interesting idea...a nice, informative Media Guide online to stimulate interest among the fans & media....
wonder if we might try this....can't cost that much..
