I feel like most of the rules were explained well yesterday by Zillini, but for those of you talking about OOS disadvantage, I actually think that this helps to level the playing field. The fall semester is a period of no contact (similar to the May-rush no contact period) so sorority women are not allowed to hang out with the PNMs who come down on gamedays. Therefore, the situation of PNM staying with non-sorority member but hanging out with sorority member all night should NOT be happening. Basically, Suzie PNM from Birmingham with season tickets no longer has that stay-every-weekend advantage over Jane PNM from Virginia who doesn't decide she wants to go to Alabama until November.
I do feel bad for the HS seniors who were looking forward to coming down gameday weekends and staying the night (I know that I loved to do that my senior year) but unfortunately, as Zillini said, certain things have gotten out of control. In addition, this gives the freshmen the luxury of focusing on getting acquainted with school, their new sisters, etc., (as well as actually meeting the fraternity boys at parties, rather than spending the whole time catering to a group of HS seniors!) before being thrown straight back into the chaos of the next rush season.
Also, the curfew on minors: It's been mentioned that the curfew does not apply to university students. I have yet to see this in writing, but have told that presenting an ACT card to prove student status works for the 17 & 18 year old students?
*note* If I am wrong about any of this, PLEASE feel free to correct me. This is just my understanding currently, and I could have always misread or misinterpreted.
