I was wondering how the new rules applied to social media and emerging technology and new communication methods. It's good that the NCAA laid down some ground rules. A lot of football kickers and punters I coach were getting tweets from coaches up until this rule was set up! This is an interesting writeup.

It's an agent's job to find new clients and take care of the ones they already have. How are the NCAA's rules enforceable?
