NCAA prohibits texting as a recruitment medium

College coaches are going to have to go back to recruiting the old-fashioned way come Aug. 1.
In a 13-3 vote, the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a ban Thursday to eliminate text messages from coaches to recruits. The board, however, left open the possibility of revisiting the legislation next year.

It was getting a little bit out of hand, all these coaches bombarding students with texts day in, day out… perhaps it could all be organised a little bit more effectively?

I reckon text still has a useful part to play.
