And you can decide who you want to give your money to, and I will decide where mine is spent.

You are 100% correct that the timing of the IMLCA intervention is causing its actions to be hurtful to the very same student athletes they are trying to help.

If IMLCA does not request coaches to abstain from all events which interfere with academic pursuits then their actions seem insincere. I agree that coaches should be told to stay away from Jake Reed and probably similar cases can be made for nearly all events.
We agree with your position. How is it possible to say Division III midweek recruiting is fine while Division I and Division II recruiting is not? The IMLCA has invoked this split policy for a reason - to control the potential flow of scholarship dollars through events of their liking. If this was not the case, they would have also banned Division III coaches from attending.

If this was NOT about the money, give us another reason - any other cogent reason - why there would be a Division I/II vs. Division III split.
