Apparently some of the organizers couldn't find any of this research I've been able to track down since Wednesday night (see below, it's lengthy). But to review:

1) NCAA Rule does NOT effect football finals this weekend at WKU, Two REGULAR-SEASON Rupp events, the LIT at Bellarmine (Bellarmine is NCAA Division-II) or the boys' sweet 16. Plenty of high school teams will still get to play in Rupp this season.

2) The Friday-Sunday "Rumble In Rupp" was disallowed for two reasons. One, because it is a preseason event NOT recognized by the KHSAA as a scholastic event. Two, because of Findlay Prep's involvement. For scholastic events, schools cannot be paid travel, hotel, food, appearance fee, etc. So you really think Findlay was coming all the way from Vegas to play a scrimmage game for nothing in return?

3) The email quote and the post on Bleid Sports' web site about the rule going into effect after 10 P.M. WEDNESDAY were 100 PERCENT FALSE. As proved below MULTIPLE times.

NEW GUIDELINES FOR EVENT OPERATORS
Dear Non-Athletes, District Directors & Event Operators,

This is to inform each of you that the NCAA passed legislation that could affect how you conduct events.

Men's Basketball - Use of Division I Campus Facilities Update ? Proposal No. 2009-100 version A was discussed by the NCAA Board of Directors and adopted with a 60-day override period. This legislation would prohibit an institution [including any institutional department (e.g., athletics, recreational/intramural)] from hosting, sponsoring or conducting a non-scholastic basketball practice or competition in which men's basketball prospective student-athletes participate on its campus or at an off-campus facility regularly used by the institution for practice and/or competition by any of the institution's sport programs. This legislation is effective immediately; however, a contract signed before October 29, 2009, may be honored. Institutions will continue to have the opportunity to host non-institutional camps or clinics during the months of June, July and August and the opportunity to host basketball competition that is part of state multisport events. Questions should be directed to NCAA Academic and Membership Affairs (AMA) at 317/917-6222. AMA is knowledgeable on bylaws in all three divisions and, unlike other NCAA staff members, is permitted to provide interpretations of those bylaws.

4) Here's one from SEPT. 6:

"Legislation is in place to regulate the use of on campus basketball facilities. At present, boys (or men’s as described by the NCAA) basketball is subject to new restrictions on use. Virtually identical legislation covering girls/women’s basketball is on its way to implementation.

In general, the legislation now prohibits the use of on campus basketball facilities for non-scholastic boys/men’s basketball events or practices that include prospective student-athletes (anyone that has started classes for the seventh grade). This extends to off campus sites that are regularly used by the institution for practices or competition. The legislation affects all NCAA Division I member institutions."

13.11.1.6 Nonscholastic Practice, Contest or Event -- Men's Basketball. An institution shall not host, sponsor or conduct a nonscholastic basketball practice, contest or event in which men's basketball prospective student-athletes participate on its campus or at an off-campus facility regularly used by the institution for practice and/or competition by any of the institution's sport programs.

[13.11.1.6 through 13.11.1.7 renumbered as 13.11.1.7 through 13.11.1.8, unchanged.]

[Remainder of 13.11 unchanged.]

Source: NCAA Division I Board of Directors

Effective Date: Immediate; a contract signed before October 29, 2009 may be honored.

Category: Amendment

Topical Area: Recruiting

Rationale: There has been a proliferation of nonscholastic events held on Division I campuses during quiet periods, specifically during the months of May and June. Generally, these events are being planned and operated in an attempt to assist institutions with recruiting opportunities. Travel and lodging expenses are routinely provided free of charge for those prospective student-athletes or teams identified as important to the coaching staff's recruiting efforts, and funds and/or services provided by institutions and boosters are sometimes used to pay these expenses. Reluctant college coaches are being leveraged to help the event operator arrange for discounted operational costs (e.g., facility fees) under the threat that the event operator will take the event (and all of the prospective student-athletes) to another institution's campus. Regardless of the level of complicity or involvement of the coaching staff, these events provide a significant recruiting advantage for the institution that hosts the events.

Budget Impact: Potential for lost revenue for use of facilities by outside entities.

Impact on S-A's Time: None.

Position Statement(s)
Recruiting and Athletics Personnel Issues Cabinet: The cabinet acknowledged the potential recruiting advantages gained by institutions that host nonscholastic practices or events, but expressed concern that the proposal would eliminate the opportunity for many institutions' auxiliary departments (e.g., recreation and athletics departments) to generate revenue by conducting such events on campus.
