Stupid comment, especially if you knew anything about the NESCAC. This is a conference of very highly competitive schools with a very wealthy(ie conservative) students. This conference is full of type a competitive students and parents. I am sure this was not some feel-good move, but a way of toning down what was prolly some out of control nasty crowd. In the clubby, private. School atmosphere of these schools that kind of behavior is neither expected of tolerated.. As PDad pointed out, there were many other parts of the letter. There attitude at these schools if you don't want act properly, go to state school

I thought SpazsDad nailed it.
If it was some already happened nastiness it probably violated some already existing rules. Why not just take care of the rule violates using the existing rules? I have seen this handled a number of times at softball games.
The current NCAA rules seem to be more than adequate to handle these issues, i.e. the other parts of the letter. Instead these guys seemed to find a need to go out and write that specific ban, which included a ban on booing.
You can claim it is not mamby pamby, or no some feel-good, but if walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, don't be so surprised if others call it a duck.
