NCAA Recruiting Guidlines Have Gone to The Extreme
How far will the NCAA hand stretch?
College students who decide to use Facebook in an attempt to lure recruits are having their First Amendment rights revoked. Taylor Moseley, a student attending N.C. State, started a Facebook group to reach out to the #1 recruit in the nation. The group was named "John Wall PLEASE come to NC STATE!!!!" as reported by CNNSI.com.
Moseley received threats to โcease and desistโ from the University.

Wemby Jokes About Villain Role
It is absurd how far the NCAA will go. Imposing regulations prohibiting gifts of monetary value to recruits is understandable. Imposing regulations for enrolled students to show pride and wanting their athletic program to succeed by starting a Facebook group to lure top recruits onto campus is one step away from the loony bin. Is a top recruit really going to be swayed by a Facebook group when national media conglomerates provide press coverage on athletic programs?
Whatโs next NCAA? Fans wonโt be able to wear clothing illustrating the school because supports the program? Schools wonโt be able to use program prestige as a recruiting method (you can play on the same court as Bill Russell)? The NCAA is going to implement a draft where the worst schools to choose their recruit first (John Wall to NJIT, Xavier Henry to South FloridaโฆJoe Blow to UNC)? The list could go on and on to even the playing field so all schools have an equal opportunity to sign the top recruits.
Why doesnโt the NCAA investigate the recruitment (or lack there of) of OJ Mayo by USC instead of harassing eighteen to twenty-one year olds.
NCAA get a grip.
John Wall PLEASE come to UConn!!!!
