Think of it as a matter of perspective. Try not to be a fan for just a second

If you think I am evaluating this as a fan then you don't understand what I'm saying, so let me clear this up:

Contacting recruits via any medium regarding where they attend school is stupid unless that person is your personal friend or family member, or unless you are a college coach.

If you contact a kid through his facebook or myspace page you are a freak who needs to be dragged into the street and whipped.

If I had a kid who was being recruited, I would want him left alone by everyone except those just listed.

My point is that trying to regulate such stupid activity is a pointless exercise that the unscrupulous among us can use to hurt our hated rivals. To say that you will attempt to regulate or affect anonymous internet postings demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how modern society communicates.

I will guarantee you that whoever drafted this rule is a guy who has his assistant print out his e-mails and read them to him. He then hand-writes responses that his assistant sends out as e-mails.
