This wasn't tweets and facebook posts/pages. This was a guy posing as a reporter and calling recruits.

What this is leading up to is student athletes taking their twitter and FB profiles private.

Or not.

Can the NCAA regulate free speech?
They're a private organization, so they can do pretty much whatever they want re: speech.
Yes, a private organization can regulate speech WITHIN their organization, but that doesn't mean they can tell me, as not a booster or coach, not to tell a kid where I think he should go to school.

They can do it all they want--they just can't enforce it against you.

I get it. I support not knowingly breaking any rules. But at the same time, there are always dozens of facebook pages asking Player ____ to commit to School ____ . And those pages come down from time to time, but no one is sanctioned. Just don't buy a player a free lunch, etc.

They already do
# of calls to a recruit by a coach
Comments by coaches on uncoMmitted recruits before LOI
Contact by boosters
Radio stations can't even say the name of current players they plan to interview in a propontional/tease format until the player is live on the air.

If any of these rules have changed, I apologize for being obtuse, uninformed, or otherwise fodder for mockery.

Just a guess, this is probably a much bigger problem at other schools than BYU.
