Got to tour Heinz Field today...
Just another example of how the NCAA is stupid. My wife took her students on a tour of Heinz Field today. I naturally took the day off work to help chaperone. The tour was pretty cool showing us press boxes, locker rooms etc…

We got to go in and see the Steelers locker room. Pretty cool, I then asked if we were going to see the Pitt locker room as well? The tour guide said no, because it is an NCAA violation to show the inside of collegiate locker rooms. After all, one of those 8 year olds might be considering to play football at Pitt someday and this field trip might give the Panthers an unfair advantage over Urban Meyer and O$U.

They even had to build separate away team locker rooms for Pro and Collegiate due to the same NCAA violations. Unbelievable…

Glad to hear yinz had a great field trip. Glad you got to see the locker rooms and other stuff.

Curious thought regarding this rule. So I take it that the WPIAL teams must use the NFL Locker rooms due to this stupid violation. Some violations really makes 0 sense. Fans talking to recruits on Social Media is a minor violation because we're potential boosters. STUPID stupid STUPID...

The scary thing is that I truthfully hope that USC didn't actually offer a 13 y/o. So much can happen since it sounds like the dude is in 7th maybe 8th grade.

I posted this on the other board and got some interesting feedback. Looks like my old retired touf guid either didn't know what he was talking about or was making stuff up. Somebody chimed in that they had taken a tour of Lincoln Financial and they were show the Temple locker room but not the Eagles. Also, tours at the BigHouse show the locker room. So, who knows?

Yikes, kinda sad when a tour gate doesn't have all of the facts.

Either way, some of these NCAA rules are flat out dumb.
