When will the NCAA idiocy over recruiting visits end?

It's hurting Clemson more than others and I wish Dabo would be more vocal about it.
How in the #### is it okay for college campuses to have NFL pro days, but recruits can't visit?
On what level does that make any d@m sense?!

NCAA idiocy
The NCAA has absolutely no control over the pro days event hosted by the schools.
I wish all of the P5 conferences would ban together, start their own league, and tell the NCAA to go pi$$ up a rope.

The one thing I can say to defend the current rule with this is it at least keeps things even for all schools. We have different rules for different states for instance, so some states may allow visits if they were opened up, and maybe others wouldn't.
Also if the visits were allowed, then what about if we were recruiting a player in Texas for instance, but his family weren't comfortable traveling on a plane during this time. That would mean the player still wouldn't be able to visit Clemson, but maybe he'd be close enough to places like LSU, Oklahoma, or Texas to be able to drive and visit.

Would you even want a recruit around during pro day? With all the scouts, coaches, agents, and media around and whoever else;, it seems like a recipe for recruiting violations.

Your argument sounds nice but how does it hurt Clemson more than others? Our brand is strong right now. I'd love to be outraged with you if I can understand why?

I think his point, and the way I feel about this,

relates to the old clemson adage of "if we can get them on campus we can get them TO campus." What we sell to these guys (not that I think its a sales pitch bc I believe in what dabo has built) plays much better in the warmth of personal connection than over a cold medium like zoom or whatever virtual visit medium they use. That's why I think it hurts us more.

The NCAA wouldn't even exist if people would follow rules on their own.
We wouldn't need police if people didn't commit crimes.
Blame the sec for always cheating.

The fact that they selectively enforce their own rules more than supports that they are on the take and can be bought.

Pretty sure recruits can visit whenever they want, unofficially.
And hosting a pro day is so far different than a recruit visit. Look at who was on campus today to watch and assess before they hand out tens of millions of dollars. The purpose, audience, and participants in a pro day are nothing like a recruiting visit.
