The question is whether or not it would be a violation to put one in Rosedale. It was a violation for us to put one in Morton. Why would this be any different?

As long as we don't have some dumbass in the ADs office say that they are "strategically placed" in towns with recruits based on input from the coaches, it won't violate any rules.

I'm glad your an NCAA rules book genius, it seems most OM people are for some reason. Anyway, you wouldn't need someone to say it. Nobody puts billboards in Rosedale and the reasoning would be obvious should OM decide to do that. Same thing as us putting one in Morton. IMO, it would be a waste of money though because I doubt woman high jumper on a billboard will have any effect on a male sprinter that plays football.

Is there another school in the country that is so bad at football, yet their fans seems to know everything about it?

No one gives Ole Miss any credit on the interwebz. According to google she trains at Coppin State University in Baltimore, Maryland. I thought I had heard from someone, Dick Cross maybe, that she was at OM training.
