Don't Contact Recruits Via Facebook or Twitter

Jesus, Good luck policing this NCAA. The NCAA might be the most failed organization since the US government.

Whats to prevent a a rival fan from doing this? There is NO way in Hell this could be enforced. I can see some clown fan posing as a hawk fan and twittering the daylights out of a recruit. It is uninforceable.

hmmmmmmm

Might be?

Might be?

I always like to leave myself a little wiggle room. There are just so many to chose from.

 

[ISU]

This is true, good point.

You seem to be able to take offense at something that you claim doesn't apply to you. Now why would that be?

You insulted two entire generations of people. How would someone not find that offensive?

Let me get this straight.

players father requesting 180k payout = not a violation
tweeting a recruit = violation
lying to NCAA about communicating with players 'advisors' = not a violation
friending someone on facebook = violation

Do I have that right?

 

[ISU]

Yes you do.

Pretty much. NCAA idiocy at it finest...

So apparently it is already Coach Ferentz's responsibility to follow his players around Iowa City to make sure they don't drink under the legal age, pretty soon he might be expected to babysit all of the pathetic fans that stalk his recruits. It's a sad world we live in sometimes. Some things just can't be controlled, but the NCAA doesn't specialize in common sense. They have made some head-scratching decisions, I wouldn't be surprised if they did something stupid here.

The only legit penalty for this would be forcing the stalker to reveal his identity and tell the public how pathetic his life is so he spends his time trying to influence a random 17 yr olds college decision.

You know absolutely nothing about me. Please don't try to pretend that you do by making overgeneralized statements (something you're awfully fond of, it appears).

Ignore "alexzelada" this is his M.O. he insults/starts arguements with other posters for no apparent reason, he's a troll. - Don't take the bait.

Here watch me ignore alexzelada. Its easy!

 

[ISU]

Who is alexzelada?

I truly believe this 'problem' will eventually take care of itself through natural attrition as recruits (and society as a whole) will navigate and elect toward more private and closed social networks. These kids are the first generation to have access to this type of media in its fullest extent and have not yet fully experienced the repurcussions that come with leaving yourself this open. I see a major pull back by recruits as they personally experience or see others experience the overwhelming onslaught of wanted (and much unwanted) attention both positive and negative.

I hope you're right. But when you look around it seems like de-evolution is ramping up and common sense is going down. While the Octomoms have litters of children who are either brain-damaged or treated like pets, the people who take responsibility for their actions produce fewer off-spring. The result is what we are currently seeing, people who think rodg12 is how you spell DOG.

eh twitter is garbage anyways. They took the status update from facebook and cut out all other features....and they got on the cover of time magazine....great world we live in.

This year was the worst yet for things I have seen along these lines, and its probably going to get worse.

Not only against the rules probably, but more then likely they are not helping iowa out at all. could be doing just the opposite.
