That's the rumor from earlier today.

I wonder what the welcome will be like there inBearCountry?

Although, I'm not sure I'd want to see it, but I'd find it funny if Mullen did the other kind of helicoptering to a pro-Ole Miss crowd.

Recent examples include prohibiting college football coaches from arriving at high school football games in helicopters to impress potential recruits and restricting the nature of entertainment during official visits.</span>

We don't have a 100k seat stadium and multiple NCs. 17 the NCAA and their definition of recruiting excesses - let little ol' MSU hop from po-dunk MS town to po-dunk MS town in a helicopter. It's obviously not paying significant dividends in the form of 4 and 5 star athletes over the past coupe of seasons.

Everyone uses them every year. I had no idea it was a no no... I mean half of all rivals stories talk about how the coach impressed the kid by showing up in a chopper. oh well

Sounds like that prohibition is predicated on the coach's arriving in a helicopter with the intent of impressing a recruit. What if he had no such intent and only used the helicopter to allow him to visit multiple high school games in a single evening?

Would the NCAA rule on intent? Maybe.... but it damn sure looks like they can't rule on much else these days.

coaches taking a train to a HS game yet? Perhaps it's ok if the train has a steam engine?
