With the release of Facebook's new messaging system last month, it appears the social media superpower may have single-handedly changed NCAA recruiting rules for good. Before the launch, clear-cut definitions were in place to regulate college coaches and the vehicles they could utilize for interacting with prospects.
That's all likely going to change, thanks in part to Facebook's launch of a messaging system that combines email, text messaging, instant messaging, social networking and "push notifications," for which the NCAA currently has no rule.
Is this the beginning of a massive shift in college recruiting regulation? Is it no longer possible for the NCAA to differentiate the various forms of text communication, and will they ultimately go back to allowing coaches to send text messages to prospects?
