Please also keep in mind that these rules the NCAA enforces are not
concocted arbitrarily by some shadowy outside entity. The rules are (more
or less) enacted by the institutions to which they will apply. If the rules
are silly, or too strict, that's because the institutions themselves voted
themselves some silly or too strict rules.
