A lot of coaches, including Mike Leach, voiced their displeasure with the decision to ban satellite camps last week, but for Urban Meyer, the decision to deregulate texting to prospects has him much more upset.

Just to recap: while players could text coaches, coaches had been banned from texting players since 2007. Now coaches can not only text recruits freely, but they can also communicate with recruits uninhibited via other social media platforms as well.

The problem with this for recruits is that they have some control on social media about who can contact them. For example, on Twitter you normally can’t send a direct message unless you’re both following one another. That mutual interest in one another gives recruits some control over who they receive messages from, and they can also simply turn off the notifications so their phone isn’t blowing up off the hook.
