"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Urbz will whip this conference into shape if he has to beat every other team in it into utter senselessness year after year after year. (Wait. What?) (Robin Alam/Icon SMI)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Big Ten would like its coaches back in the house before the streetlights come on, and not just on game days! The following statement was released on Monday afternoon, through the league office:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Park Ridge, Ill. \u2014 The Big Ten Football Coaches and Athletic Directors met today in Park Ridge for a regularly scheduled meeting and subsequently issued the following statement with regard to pending NCAA DI legislation impacting college football:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We reviewed the 26 Rules Working Group proposals acted upon by the NCAA Board of Directors in January, some of which will become effective as early as July 1, 2013. While we applaud the work that has been done to date, we are very concerned that the timeline proposed for implementation of the proposals does not allow sufficient time for the Football Recruiting Subcommittee of the NCAA Leadership Council to thoughtfully consider the impact of the proposals.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We are specifically concerned with the following three proposals and ask that they be tabled along with Proposal 13-2:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proposal 11-2: Athletics Personnel \u2013 Limitations on the Number and Duties of Coaches \u2013 Elimination of Recruiting Coordination Functions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proposal 13-3: Recruiting \u2013 Deregulation of Modes and Numerical Limitations on Communication&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proposal 13-5-A:\u00A0 Recruiting \u2013 Elimination of Printed Recruiting Materials and Video/Audio Legislation&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We have serious concerns whether these proposals, as currently written, are in the best interest of high school student-athletes, their families and their coaches. We are also concerned about the adverse effect they would have on college coaches, administrators and university resources.\u00A0&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We look forward to working with the NCAA toward improving the game, the recruiting process and the overall college football experience for all student-athletes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There is no protestation against the sad and sorry failure to call 13-5-A the Fathead Proposal? HARRUMPH. Harrumph, we say.
