NCAA to reconsider outright ban of text messaging recruits
At a board meeting August 9th, the NCAA will reconsider rules, including one that bans coaches from sending text messages to college football recruits.
The board could un-do the text messaging rule, or create new legislation. The rules in  place now have no restrictions on text messaging with recruits. The new rule is scheduled to take effect Aug. 1. Should the board make changes, the rule would be rescinded. If it is affirmed, the rule would remain in place until a January vote at the NCAA’s annual convention in Nashville, Tenn.
Many of the schools that appealed the original legislation said they favored some text messaging restrictions but not an outright ban.
