Given the pre-existing relationship I cant believe there is a rule against friends texting each other. And, of course, the other poster appears to have cited the text of the rule and, unless it was done at the direction of the staff - highly unlikely since SC made no effort to recruit Scott in the closing weeks - there there is no violation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-14929745572362581712008-02-11T09:49:00.000-08:002008-02-11T09:49:00.000-08:00who would read anything about Baylor or Washington...who would read anything about Baylor or Washington St's football players texting a recruit they were after ... no one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-49031921372488687312008-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:002008-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:00It is amazing how people loooooooooooooooooove to ...It is amazing how people loooooooooooooooooove to take shots at the big boys like Texas and USC without doing even the slightest bit of research.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15857498.post-48532805330467149812008-02-11T06:55:00.000-08:002008-02-11T06:55:00.000-08:00Unless there is something we've missed in NCAA rec...<I>Unless there is something we've missed in NCAA recruiting regulations, student-athletes shall not participate in telephone calls to prospective student-athletes. A text message is considered a telephone call.Are you sure?</I><BR/><BR/>NCAA rule 13.02.5.2 says, "Enrolled student-athletes or other enrolled students shall not make or participate in telephone calls to prospective student-athletes <B>at the direction of a coaching staff member or financed by the institution or a representative of its athletics interest</B>."<BR/><BR/>If the coach didn't ask the player to make the call or send the text message, and the player used his own phone, I don't see that as a violation of this rule. Perhaps there's another rule I'm not aware of that applies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
