I was surprised to learn from my son last night that texting is now allowed for recruiting after he received a text from a coach he has been talking to since the Fall.
After checking out the NCAA website, I found out that is was decided earlier this week, was effective immediately, and limited to D3 schools.
Considering that texting is one of the primary methods of communicating for this generation, that should make things more comfortable for some kids (mine included).
