Recruiting on Facebook Monitored by NCAA?
April 29th, 2009 - byInteresting debate on how North Carolina State freshman, Taylor Moseley violated a NCAA rule when he started a group on Facebook to encourage top basketball recruit John Wall to sign at NC State.
NCAA argues that anything which is used to persuade or influence recruits in their college choice is a violation. They are concerned that such things as postings on Facebook will intrude the student’s life while they are trying to make their decision on college choice.
The other side of the argument would say that ‘freedom of speech’ is a right to voice personal opinion and that the student should not be punished for doing so.
