@Huskerboard Twitter account

Yeah, by this morning those 7,000 impressions had risen to 22,000! Crazy

I have a question about Recruiting Compliance, too.

Everyone is on Twitter nowadays, including recruits, but the message clearly states:

NCAA rules and regulations are complex to say the least, but one area that is completely straightforward is fan communication with recruits. If any fans, boosters, alumni (or any other supporters) of Nebraska has any contact (e.g., in-person, instant message, text message, e-mail, fax, etc.) whatsoever with a recruit there are could be serious consequences such as:

I'm taking the following guidelines to include:

-following recruits

-mentioning @account name, Retweeting, etc -- even if they're announcing a commitment. But I guess when they've signed, it's OK?

-favoriting tweets by recruits

But surely this must happen on a massive scale across the country. It's the nature of twitter. It seems like very dangerous ground.

 
The NCAA has taken the ridiculous position that if a fan identifies with the school (and isn't that the definition of a fan?), they become a "booster". In theory, then, all you listed would be violations. In reality, the NCAA has never taken action on those that I can recall.

 
Tim Miles retweeted us!

I'm not sure Twitter drives too much traffic but it's nice having our name out there. Mike'l Severe and the volleyball bench account have both retweeted us too. These retweets get way more views -- for now -- because those accounts have more followers. But like Mav said, we've been making ground.

 
I deleted one of the duplicate notices about the downtime. That's something I've done a couple times myself (a redundant tweet

)

By the way @Mav, great work. I think these are the two most successful HB plugs we've ever had. New asst coaches seem to be a hot topic.

Guys, who has been making the Huskerboard tweets? Whomever it is, you're doing a helluva job. Perfect tone, great subjects - just a really good job. I hope whomever it is keeps up the great job.

 
That I know of, it's been Mavric & me recently (and maybe addict, since he started it all). Thanks! Anyone is more than welcome to take part in the fun.
