Problem is these rules are unclear and no one seems to be intent on making them clear. Communication is so easy these days people don't know where the line is. Now, this is of course crossing a line, real communication with a recruit including what is known to be impermissible benefits. But what if someone replies to a high school kid on Twitter who just announced MSU as one of his top 5? Is just replying with "Hail State" wrong there? Is wishing the kid a great senior season wrong/ At what point is the line into wrong crossed?

I honestly don't know and am curious if anyone does.

PS - I hope it is Ole Miss, but I assume Steve would have been a little less generic had it been.

I'd say 50% chance its Mississippi, and 50% chance it's any one of the other 12 schools.

Don't tweet or reply to high school kids...period. This is not vague or complicated. Don't do it. If a HS athlete boasts of 5 scholarship offers and State is one of them, just smile and keep on scrolling.

It's Auburn. Yancy alluded to it a couple of weeks ago. The evil forces are aligning to take down the evilest force of all.

The simple way to approach it is this... if you don't know a high school kid personally, there's probably no real reason for you to talk to him or her. At all.

Don't be the creepy guy who tweets at high school kids just because they happen to be interested in Mississippi State.

The rules are pretty clear. If you don't know the kid, don't communicate with him (or her).

NCAA will enforce merciless penalties for this.

They'll kindly ask Barn to vacate the bowl loss to UCF.

I'd bet it's UM. I haven't heard anything, I'm just basing by assumption off of the creepiness I've witnessed from UM fans on social media. That and it seems Rosebowl might be getting ahead of the spin, because he knows UM folk will try to muddy the waters and point fingers at State.

I'd be surprised if Tay was a booster by the letter and thus disassociable**

Tae was definitely one of the ones on the group. It’s been a while but somehow i saw Screenshots of some of it. Heck maybe from one of his own 20 twitter accounts. It’s most definitely Ole Miss being referred to. Tae has all but disappeared from twitter as well if I’m not mistaken

I just can't fathom what goes through an adult's mind when they think it's okay to tweet at HS kids they don't know. Beyond that, some of these adults actually think their tweeting will have some sort of influence on the recruit.

In my mind, I always visualize these people in "Maroon is all that matters" t-shirts.

"will have to self report"

In the context of what is said here that doesn't compute.

So the University's "self-report" would involve the problem of boosters communicating with prospects via the chat session, correct? That sounds like it would only involve secondary **** if it was just frat boy pedos pretending to be friends with a recruit. HOWEVER, the poison pill contained in Reve's heads up is the reference to "impermissible benefits" as part of what was discussed. Am I right? Seems like a hard copy of a chat session that references "impermissible benefits" could mean yet another NCAA investigation, right? What am I missing here?

I remember him arguing on Twitter with a young girl about being kicked out of a recruit group chat or something. If it is them, will this count towards repeat offender status?

I keep hearing stuff about "Tay". Who is that?

Tay is a guy who starts every OM twitter account. Claims to have some sort of insight and just posts a bunch of stupid stuff that's always wrong. Lives in his parents basement, and creeps on a bunch of OM recruits

When it comes to recruiting, UM fans are the boldest, most obsessed, and consequently the dumbest group of fans on the planet. After all they have just been through, they still do stupid s#!t like this....good Lord, why am I not surprised.

Spirit Ben say yes, it was definitely Ole Miss that Rosie was talking about. He also says nothing to see here and nothing will come of it.

Sorry, but don't give two slimy ***** about this stuff anymore.

NCAA had death penalty goods on the cheating 17ers and they got their needle-tracked wrists slapped. Then their fatass coach and merlinz suppressed a grin while the mutha17ers broke Fitz leg.

Until NCAA grows a sack I no longer see this stuff with optimism.

So the NCAA had no interest in investigating Western Union money orders being delivered to Tunsil once a week when they lived in Florida BUT this is somehow an issue?

Good deal, we can definitely turn the page given his immaculate reporting record on Ole Miss violations**

I honestly can't believe people are dumb enough to do stuff on social media and leave a paper trail. It really defies logic. That being said, I doubt anything will come of it.

So it starts again. Fan based media feeding the masses info that grossly understates the circumstances.

How many times can they go to that well?

I guess it’s time to update the investigation tracker.

Oh, well let’s put this to rest then. One of Ole Miss’ fansite guys said nothing will come of it. Those guys always tell the truth regarding them and the breaking of NCAA violations

After seeing the NCAA COI's performance a few months ago, I can definitely believe that last part. Nothing much will come of it.
