Audio rule book?
« on: December 12, 2011, 05:40:56 PM »
A friend called me this afternoon asking if I knew of anywhere he could get an audio version of the NCAA rule book.  Do you guys know of anyone that is doing this?

I just hire someone to read it to me with the big money I make officiating.
None of these fans paid to see us

Recieved this information via email a couple weeks.

If you are like me, reading and studying the rulebook can get old. Its like reading a courtroom document or a legal brief! After an hour of study, your mind is swimming in a sea of football terms and definitions.

Until now there have been no other options for football officials seeking new and innovative ways to MASTER the Rulebook. You simply read the rulebook, then read it again. Maybe you kept it in the bathroom, maybe you had mini-study sessions during your lunch hour. Maybe you tried putting it under your pillow and absorbing the rules through osmosis...!

That was until now...

You could get a text version of it on your computer and use a text-to-speech program to read it to you. Maybe also try Amazon with a Kindle?

Are you trying to find a way to put yourself to sleep at night?

Somebody could be on to something with that!

If we could get enough contributions, maybe we can commission an audio book of the NCAA rules as read by James Earl Jones.

I would have thought you Texas people would prefer Sam Elliott. Better-sounding mustache.

That's the "Forward Progress" book guy. 

I wonder what format it will be in.  Will it be more audio of the rule book (unabbridged) or a study type like Reddings.

I think its best to read the book while listening to it otherwise its hard going listening alone, although the narrator does his best to not make it monononous.

For every coach that thinks we got it wrong there's another that thinks we got it right.
