You're making a good point that it's a far fetched violation... in that it would be hard to hold the university accountable for actions taken by fans on social media... and that there could be fake accounts made just to get rivals in trouble.

I go along with Cajun T's advice not to contact "croots" on social media... not because we'd get in trouble with the NCAA directly from it... but that we just don't need the issue. More times than not, the NCAA gets on the trail of a program over accusation A... only to find evidence B to stick on them.

But I am in agreement with you... I don't think the NCAA is going after any program... directly... over tweets from fans to recruits. But we do not need to test them. If they were ever looking to set a precedent... we'd be one of the programs they'd "t-shirt violation" in a split second.

I’m not against anyone suggesting we don’t. We have way more fans on twitter than on here is all I’m pointing out and I’m of the thinking telling people to not do something usually leads to them doing it more often out of spite. In this case any attorney or compliance office can put a stack of 400 million examples of fans from every school tweeting @ recruits. If the NCAA ever tries to police use of social media it will start with the coaching staffs and go down, not from the fans up IMO. Its way too easy to manipulate by other fans to be something a university or athletic program can be held liable for. Can you imagine the NCAA compliance office being flooded with tweets once the first program is hit with this as a violation? There was a guy from latech who made it his life mission to change our Wikipedia page, the tweeting @ recruits would deal would be insane. Recruits lie about offers they get on social media...they certainly aren’t beyond creating fake accounts to tweet at them to show themselves love.

But it's not up to you or in anyone's control is my point. I could go make a fake account and harass all of latech's recruits...tweet at them about come here and get money, come here and get grades, get women whatever you want. The NCAA will never touch this, ever. They will regulate coaching staffs contact on social media way before attempting to control fans.

Listen, you can debate what is enforced and what is not. What you can't debate is that contacting recruits on any form of social media is an NCAA violation. The purpose of my post was to educate, not debate what you think is going to be enforced. If you ,or any other person does decide to do it knowing that it could lead to possible eligibility problems for the athlete and violations for your program, why the hell take the risk? No, if someone wants to be a dumba** there is nothing I or anyone else can do about it.

I don’t tweet at anyone and don’t know why you think this is a personal jab or something. Plenty of schools large and small have been investigated since twitter has been around, including us. If they wanted to tack that on to our ACT scandal it was right there clear as day for them to do so and we certainly are a prime candidate for them to do it and they didn’t and haven’t yet to anyone so IMO that tells me they will stay away from that at least for the immediate future.

It wasn't mean't to be a personal, but to address your excessive need to debate everything. What does it matter if the NCAA rarely, if ever enforces those specific bylaws? The fact remains it is considered an NCAA violation and the point of my post was to warn fellow Cajun fans to beware of their actions. If you are not a person that uses social media, then my post wasn't directed at you. But, I don't see a problem of reminding people of the possible ramifications of such actions. I'm not interested in debating what is enforced and what is not. Like many, I'm not a fan of the NCAA Infraction Committee.

Didn’t say i didn’t use social media. Never said it was a problem you saying it either. If you aren’t interesting in debating then don’t. I’ll continue to post my opinion on things, like everyone else does on here. I never said anything personal or derogatory to anyone. I don’t think the NCAA will ever hit anyone with that because it’s too widespread, too easily manipulated and uncontrollable. If you disagree that’s fine..everyone has a right to their opinion. If they wanted to set a precedent or make an example we were their chance just recently and they didn’t. Going on our history and luck with the NCAA that leads me to believe it’s not something they will enforce. Only possible way i ever see them pulling that card is on a program that refuses to cooperate, which at that point tweets would be the least of that programs worries.

The teets can be the beginning basis of an NCAA investigation . Once they zoom in they can in fact determine to their satisfaction if you’re a supporter.

I can agree that the teets were my biggest distraction in college.

I laughed way harder than I should have at that.
