I think the main thing is that no one wants to be solicited…you come on here and the one and oly post you have is a re-direct to your "sign-up" page…i understand your "intellectual property" rights…but i still think it is questionable at best…

Everyone here knows Rivals is a pay site…if we want to "pay" to read about our prospects and athletes we are certainly capable of logging on and offereing up the credit card…

No offense, but I am going to write to Rex's blog to ask him if he is aware of this entire scenario, as you claim he is - you making money off of his recruits by selling "private" interviews - so its replied to in public…i am very curious to see what he says…

Here it is…we'll see what he replies with:

"Coach,

Congrats on an awesome season! We are all looking forward to next year! Speaking of all, some of us would like to inquire about a recent situation:

FAU has a loyal and hardcore following of fans that use the free ProBoards.com site…you might want to check it out sometime:

http://fausports.proboards25.com/index.cgi#Discussions

My situation surrounding my question is this…recently we had a representative of rivals.com, who has never posted on the site before sign up and post a link to the rivals.com site offering a recent "interview" with one of your latest heralded recruits - Brett Royster…this fellow has never frequented the board previously at all…and this was his one and only post…someone posted his article and he asked that it be removed…the thing we would like to know is your stance on people using "interviews" of our recruits and now players as a source of income…it seems very centered on money and with no heart towards FAU - but rather the all might dollar…he claims you were aware of this prior to the interview - that he would sell it…where do you stand on this??

Have a great Spring recruiting season!

You need to change the font color. There isn't enough contrast, making it real hard to read. At least its hard for me to read.

What a crap piece of "pay-per-view" journalism. It's not like the questions were exactly hard-hitting.

Q1: Of course he's going to say Rex is a great guy…he recruited him.

Q2: Of course our season was good…well, duh. People picked us to finish last. At least we now know Brett knows how to use a computer….that's about the most interesting thing in this interview.

Q3: Royster wants to improve his game? Never! I thought he'd want to regress. And he's working on shooting and lifting weights? What a revelation!!

Q4: Brett's been working on his offense? Well, that's great to know. I thought maybe he was only practicing rebounding and blocking shots.

Q5: We want Royster to contribute right away? I would never have guessed! I would think every coach wants their talented recruits to contribute right away if they're ready.

And finally, we find out that he's coming to Boca in July. Well, considering school starts in August, that's not exactly breaking news. And how the hell is he going to take summer school if he's not getting here until July?

Fine journalism…..NOT.

TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW ::)

New skin :o

I have been working on different color schemes for the site and have yet made the new skin official (still working on colors combinations that will work the best together, staying true to the school colors) or set as the new default colors. If some of you would like to check-out the newer skin Florid_Owl is talking about, all you need to do is go to your Modify your profile section and look for the skin selection section and it should give you two choices to chose from (default and new02).

Enjoy.

Maybe he ment June for Summer "B" Term?? If he was late reg he could get in by June 27th…i know its not July, but i think he really wants to get here and start working on his game…one thing is for sure, Brett is a good student…that is very nice to see…

It's all about how much free time I have and work has been a bit crazy lately and with spring practices about to start, oh boy!!

I am still trying to figure out if the New.02 skin is good enough to make it as the default setting, but I will continue to experiment with other skins as time allows, plus continueing to keep the site current.
