Anyone else think that's a load of crap? College coaches shouldn't be allowed to participate in commercials until they retire. Why does Duke get an advantage over the other colleges?

You can recruit all you want, but if the players don't play, they don't get experience. You still have to develop the talent or the recruiting serves no purpose whatsoever. You can have all the ability in the world but unless it's developed it serves no one.
As far as whether or not coaches should participate in commercials, well if the NCAA is cool with it than so am I. After it's not a player getting paid for the shoot, it's the coach who is salaried employee of the university or school he/she is associated with. Like poppinjay said, I think you'd be hard pressed to find coaches who don't do at least some sort of promo's. The thing about it is this, not once is Duke University mentioned in those Chevy ads. That means that there is no promotion for the school itself, just for the coach who has already accomplished quite a bit. If you have an issue with commercials then perhaps these reality shows such as Knight School should be cancelled; and Coaches can't commentate during games or bowl games.
