This is from an ESPN insider article a few minutes ago:
Tweet of the Day: From the Tennessee Volunteers compliance department:
NCAA rules prohibit fans from contacting prospective student-athletes. This includes interactions on facebook and twitter.
While I still think you're all creepy that do this, at least you're not alone.
I understand that there must

I didn't know that is the case. But, you have to wonder, why doesn't the NCAA just prohibit athletes from having public twitter and facebook accounts (i.e. make them private, for friends only).
"It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach."
I'd have to imagine that that
I'd have to imagine that that kind of rule would be way over stepping the NCAA's jurisdiction.

I don't think this is OT at all. This is a really important piece of information that more people would do well to avail themselves of.

Are you talking about Adamum5. I haven't seen him post recently and it seems like his twitter has been deleted or hidden. He was the guy who was tweeting to Copper, Countess and other recruits. He was also tweeting to pornstars which is also creepy in its own way.
You can get a flavor of what happened in this thread:

I enjoy stalking members of popular sports-related blogs and message boards. That's not against NCAA rules, is it?
Also, I would not have worn that shirt with those pants, but hey! You gotta be you.
Good luck.
If Twitter and Facebook just completed a successful peaceful revolution in Egypt, you aren't stopping them from potential NCAA football recruits.

I guess those trucks burning, windows smashed, and dead cops meant it was peaceful.
I mean honestly, calling what's going on in Tunisia and Egypt as peaceful is absolutely moronic.
Right?! You must know your
Right?! You must know your revolutions. This one was probably as violent as the American, Russian, Chinese, Nicauragua, etc. with around 100 deaths, the military not firing upon the people protesting, protesters giving the army flowers in exchange, and the gov't issuing emergency bread supply.
You got me. This should probably be called a bloody and violent revolution. It got way out of hand.

I would like to see them try to make me stop sending naked pictures of myself to recruits.

If I keep tweeting tOSU recruits, will they get the death penalty?

Too bad they won't be able to comprehend your tweets.

i wasnt aware that the NCAA knew or cared what i did on twitter or facebook, guess i shouldnt post updates about playin roundtree on NBA2k11, he smoked me for the record, but really how would they enforce any of this?
Seriously, HTF do you enforce
Seriously, HTF do you enforce this. If they can't get Cam Newton's dad's money to stick then they will have a pretty hard time proving any sort of facebook stalking by a random fan on the internets and twitters.
One hundred and thirty three years of beautiful tradition, from Fielding Yost to Charles Woodson...You're goddamn right I'm living in the fucking past!
I know, how can they even prove you
are a "fan" and not a "friend" when they may not even know your identity on Twitter?
The NCAA needs to get out of 2002 and update their rules regarding electronic contact.
"They're stuck with that quarterback (sophomore Braxton Miller) for the next two or three years, that's fine with me. He throws worse than (Tim) Tebow. - Steve Everitt
Good luck with that!
Maybe they should spend more energy auditing payments from the SEC slush fund.

Newsflash, if we don't win Rose Bowl '13 we will have little choice but to lay the blame on Kate Upton. That is all!
I don't have a facebook...

"True loyalty is that quality of service that grows under adversity and expands in defeat. Any street urchin can shout applause in victory, but it takes character to stand fast in defeat. One is noise - the other, loyalty." — Yost
I understand that there must be a rule on the books for this, but it seems nearly impossible to enforce.
