may be a targeted at profe sional athletes and celebrities to change the nature of interacting with fans and to avoid embarra sing slip-ups in text me sages. But if prospective student-athletes flock to it, college coaches will have to follow. So far, the prevalence of cheap texting plans in the United States has relieved coaches of chasing recruits to different me saging platforms, but perhaps Cyber Dusts ephemeral nature will change that.If Cyber Dust becomes a major hotspot for recruiting activity, it will not be that big of an i sue for most of the NCAA. Since August Mikhail Grigorenko Jersey 1 of this year, coaches in most sports have been able to use with recruits who are juniors in high school or older. Cyber Dust does not change that. The blasting feature might need an interpretation from the NCAA to make sure it is not considered public me saging, but the core functions of the app are well within the current recruiting rules for most sports, including mens basketball.MORE: | Cro s country/track and field, swimming and diving, and especially football are a different story. Those three sports were .The first two sports we can maybe understand. They have large squads with one coaching staff often overseeing both mens and women Jarome Iginla Jersey s programs. That could easily be the size of a football team but with only six coaches to recruit instead of 10.Footballs resistance is more philosophical though. Sure, concerns about earlier deregulation proposals included the fear of an arms race comprised of elaborate recruiting mail and armies of staff to call every high school football player in the country on a regular basis. But in general, football coaches are more accepting of the regimented recruiting structure dictated by the NCAA rules. So long, that is, as the NCAA is :I dont want to speak on behalf of (Ohio State John Wensink Jersey athletic director)Gene Smith, but I keep hearing deregulation. Im not a big fan of deregulation, Meyer said. Im a fan of really firm, harsh penalties for people who break rules, not saying, We cant follow all this stuff so have at it. The problem is that catching people who break recruiting communication rules is getting harder by the day. In fact, it became more or le s impo sible to catch a coach committed to texting or calling prospects more frequently than the NCAA allowed the day that cheap disposable cell phones became available. Since then, programs and coaches punished for exce sive communication with recruits had one thing in common: sloppine s. Either they were trying to follow the rules and were sloppy in their documentation or they were actively breakingthe rules and were sloppy in covering their tracks.Right nowthere are a lot of debates going on about whether the NCAA can effectively catch people Colorado Avalanche Jersey who break any of its rules. But in this case, the answer is settled firmly in the negative. Cyber Dust is not the last nail in the coffin of the idea that the NCAA can effectively regulate exactly how and how often coaches contact recruits. It is merely the latest shovel of dirt thrown on top of that coffin which was buried long ago.The position that the NCAA should enforce these rules more effectively and with stiffer penalties is no longer a tenable one. So coaches, especially in football, are left with a choice. They can embrace deregulation and work to ensure it is done in reasonable fashion. Or they can hold on to existing unenforceable rules, but they have to then accept that if they are following the rules, someone is gaining an Paul Kariya Jersey advantage by breaking them.
