new recuirting rule about texting, see how well it stays or how many coaches will obey them

[Eric the Red]

As long as everyone has to do it....I'm fine with it.

On Around the Horn today Tim Cowlishaw made a comment that he spoke to a Big 12 assistant coach today (Didn't drop a name) about the rule and the Assistant coach said that the rule will possibly make more players stay closer to home as coaches have been using text messaging to get closer to players across the country and make them feel more secure when deciding to go to schools that aren't close to home.

How can the NCAA control this. Could a coach just grab a phone from one of the players and then send a message to a recruit?

my point exactly

It's the same as with telephone contact, though. Eventually, someone will report violations. If the NCAA comes down hard on the coach or the program, that will do the trick.

 

Remember, text messaging leaves a trail, just as do phone calls...

I could believe it. My best friend who was a part of our '07 signing class, had texts out of the ass from Okie Lite and a couple others. Seriously...it was getting ridiculous.

If I was a recruit I would get mad if coaches were constantly texting me. First off, I would laugh because it would be hilarious to me to see a coach use internet acronyms like "lol" and abbreviations like "w/e", but i mean, IIII have to pay for those texts..
