One less thing for us to bitch about.

Per Greg's blog. Funny how they banned it the year the role model of all that is great in college football left.

Wonderful. This wreaks of conspiracy, eh? I wonder what else Tebag effectively got away with.

seriously, doesn't the NCAA have better things to be doing than banning eye black messages.

Once again they prove that they want college athletes to be emotionless players who make them a fortune.

What's next? Pointing to the Heavens after a TD is going to get you a 15 yard celebration penalty?? With the exception of Pryor that one time, was there anything else on eye blacks beside scripture or area codes?

Yup the NCAA will ban anything that starts become a issue with players being too much of an individual.  Eyeblack messages finally started to be more widespread and get media attention so out they go.

Tebow's a great kid, but the love affair that CBS in general and Gary Danielson specifically was sickening. Danielson had to go to the hospital every time he called a uf game, his tebowner lasted for more than 4 hours.

That is true but this topic has nothing to do with him and yet here come people trying to drag him into it.  The fact is the NCAA crushes anything that players use to give themselves individuality between the lines on game day.  Tebow derangement syndrome is alive in well in this thread.

Very true. Writing on the eye black started years ago.

[postmortem]

You have to admit it does raise an eyebrow that it happened a year after the best role model for college football has left. Just like its interesting that the nfl made the no low contact on the qb after Brady, one of their top money makers got hurt. Or the fact that the OT rule got changed the year that Favre got ousted without having a chance to touch the ball. Huge corporations to what they can to protect theirs.
