New NCAA Rule Closes Workout
A year ago, USC's Pro Timing Day had more fans in attendance than a big high school game. It was on Sunday. You had all those Trojan prospects, all those Heisman winners, all those juniors coming out early. It was an event.
ESPN figured it out and did everything but televise it live -- and it was on a Sunday.
High school recruits and their families and friends and fans of all stripes were there since USC had also made it "junior day'' for high school prospects.
That's why the NCAA ruled that this year, no recruits could attend schools' pro days. So USC, realizing that any high school student was a potential recruit, closed Wednesday's workouts to all but NFL personnel, USC staff, players and coaches as well as parents of the players working out and media.
