I guess coaches will have to stick to Facebook and MySpace contacts.

"I think it will be as difficult as any other rule we have where there's a limited ability to track it," she said. "It's as difficult as the phone call rule and the recruiting days rule. The key with rules like this is education and trust, and not only educating the coaches but the student-athletes, scholastic coaches and parents."

^ good way of looking at it. i mean, if there was a ban, and i was a coach, i'd almost feel confident enough to still send a text. i wouldn't, due to being extremely paranoid, but it wouldn't be that risky.

This is a bad, bad deal for college recruiting and the whole argument to justify it is a load of crap. (Thank you, Ivies!)
Hopefully, someone from the SEC or some other real conference can get a hold of the Board's ear and this will be voted down. It's a long shot but it's not completely unheard of.
