NCAA Deregulates Electronic Communications
The NCAA needs to be destroyed.
It's unacceptable for a kid to have the OPTION to go to a satellite camp, but now they won't be able to escape from phone calls and texts.
Also announced by the NCAA was the deregulation of electronic communication to prospects. Parents of recruits better get that unlimited data

You know unless you subtweet, in which case "release the hounds"

Guess it's for the best that "Battling Seizure Robots" wasn't mentioned then
You replied to his post 6 minutes after it went up...
It's really time to say "Fuck the NCAA" and replace it with a model that has a lot less stupid rules and stops their practice of stealing money and opportunity from kids while placing more and more burdens on them.
NCAA - coaches are not allowed to travel for the teaching of football but they can blow up your data plan with midnight texts.
My head just asploded.
With our strengths in comp sci/eng., it seems like an opportunity to turn some of our MGo people loose and develop software that locks recruits in for months at a time with a data stream that runs 24/7.
This has to be a joke right? If this is the case, there needs to be some kind of "seriously, I'm done talking to schools" policy short of a restraining order.
....or stooge? NCAA hard at work....
This will get changed when the SEC gets wind of Harbaugh's snapchat game.
HI I'M WITH THE NCAA AND WE'RE ALL ABOUT MAKING MONEY

Just what recruits want: Not being able to work out in front of college coaches but constant, non-stop messages on their phone. Great work.

This is the Onion's version of the NCAA rulings, right? It has to be the Onion's version.
Did we do it right?
-NCAA
Just like Louisville who of course is just laughing their asses off with the rest of the actual problem schools (UNC, Syracuse, Ole Miss, etc.).
wish i could upvote your comment more than once
We forget about the investigation into stretchgate already?
(as an aside, I still can't stomach MSU).
Ah, Yes, the famous scene of a king committing a war crime in the name of pride. If the Spartans want to get behind that as their rallying cry, then more power to them.
Harbaugh has to be brewing up a good one. Post your best guess Harbaugh tweet before the day is done.
-NCAA bans teaching and coaching kids that cant afford to travel across country. Also we can now non-stop text kids 24/7. Congrats NCAA on looking out for the kids.
Coahces will just send kids vines with coaching points and film break downs. The GA coaches in charge of video breakdown just got a TON more work...
They're just fucking with us at this point, right?
The kids.
I actually upvoted OP for a great Onion-like topic.
Jesus Christ what a bunch of assclowns. Now recruits will never be able to actually get away from anything.
It's for the children. Really.
of the NCAA administration?
Yes. They are our future.
Does he get his old job back retroactively? or his show-cause order torn up?
So I think we can say clearly that the NCAA exists to serve a subset of FBS head coaches and not all of college athletics or college athletes or prospective athletes.
Just 20-30 head coaches.
to Periscope camps instead of doing satellite camps. Book it?

Banning satellite camps AND deregulating electronic communication in the same day? Yikes. Two huge whiffs that make even the most tone deaf person seem like they have feelings.
NCAA: Pro-Amateurism Ostensibly, Anti-Student Definitely.
The SEC better throw a tornadic fit over this. I mean, they are the frontrunners of child welfare. They said so.
This isn't FIFA-level bullshit, but its pretty embarassing.
