The NCAA rejected an appeal for an override of the text messaging ban they put into place last year. My first question is how many of the people on the committee even use text messaging. You are looking at a committee of people consisting of folks who just realized that vinyl records are no longer sold in stores. Let’s get into the 21st century guys….
Once again the NCAA has made it more difficult for coaches to get to know recruits and their parents. The NCAA wants to cut down on transfers, but at the same time take away another avenue to allow coaches to make a more informed decision during the recruiting process. That’s the catch-22.
Also, it takes the power out of a recruits hands. If a recruit doesn’t want to talk to a coach they won’t text them back. Texting also eliminated needless phone calls that can take up too many hours of a recruit’s time.
Way to go NCAA.
