Texas feels ‘singled out’ by NCAA rule change
AUSTIN, Texas — The University of Texas is upset about a new NCAA rule that drastically limits off-campus recruiting by defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, the Longhorns’ head-coach-in-waiting.
The rule says that “publicly designated” head coaches-in-waiting like Muschamp can now make only one off-campus visit with a recruit, the same limit imposed on head coaches. Other assistants can have multiple in-person visits.
Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds said Texas feels it was targeted by the rule and is now at a recruiting disadvantage
The only other major college with a publicly designated coach-in-waiting is Maryland, where offensive coordinator James Franklin has been selected to succeed Ralph Friedgen.
