What makes no sense, is the offical season for football and soccer is fall. Typically teams will have a spring season, but its without an offical coach and it doesn't count for much except to help the players develop. So why prevent those players from pledging in the spring?

I'm willing to bet it's designed to prevent athletes from pledging at all. Most coaches have the attitude that "your team is your fraternity", and I have known many student athletes have their coaches discourage them from participating in any other activities including things like student government or campus activities board. I have seen many non-scholarship student athletes quit their team because of the amount of flak they get from their coaches/teammates about participating in other groups.
