Is Text Message Ban DOA?

Remember the NCAA decision to ban text messages to college football recruits? Seems that the NCAA is having second thoughts. Not that it would affect Bobby Bowden. Apparently however the obsessive/compulsive Urban "The Cryer" Meyer blew a gasket when he heard that he could not text message recruits 150 times a day.

The NCAA will reconsider the rule that bans coaches from sending text messages to recruits, at its Aug. 9 board of directors meeting.

The board could reaffirm the text messaging decision, reject the decision or create new legislation. Current rules place 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 Should the board make changes, the rule would be rescinded.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.
