per Fox Sports:

True story: If you went to bed early Sunday night, you missed, what might turn out to be one of the most entertaining evenings of the college football.

How can we say that, especially with the season still a little over a month away? Well, for starters, Michigan switched their apparel deal from Adidas to Nike’s ‘Jordan Brand’ and fans went absolutely bonkers, but also a new NCAA rule went into place which, of every NCAA rule, might be the most bizarre and confusing one yet.

What is it? Well, it’s about how coaches can now interact with recruits on Twitter. You see, back in the old days (like say, 24 hours ago) coaches weren’t allowed to interact with recruits at all on social media, until they had signed a letter of intent.

Now however, they are allowed to ‘like’ and ‘retweet’ the tweets of the players they’re recruiting, but still aren’t allowed to respond or comment to them.
