Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 687924, member: 702"] Yeah, I equate it to crowd chants for a recruit at a ball game. I suppose technically that's a recruiting violation but what can anyone do about it? You can ask fans to stop tweeting recruits but you can't force them and there's too much room for sabotage and abuse for the NCAA to really come down on a school about this. School reps directly tweeting recruits is another thing, though. But if a recruit protects his tweets, who's to know? Unless the NCAA gains access to PRISM, it's just not policeable. And I don't think that you can make an example of one school to bring it to a halt without inviting a lawsuit. All that having been said, I don't like all this twitter/social media bs in recruiting. These 18-year old kids are already getting a thorough arselicking from the coaches. Now we have to bring hordes of fans into the action to get them on campus? Isn't the whole process distasteful enough as it is? [/QUOTE]
