NCAA DIII Texting Rule
- They are looking for feedback to change the rule against texting
- Rule says that coaches cannot text recruits. Current players can text recruits but not on behalf of the school or athletic department.
- Need a volunteer to create a survey to see where athletes are at with the idea of allowing coaches to text recruits as a way of communication.
The rule would still restrict Facebook and Twitter
- Liz is making a survey on Survey Monkey to get athletes' thoughts on texting rule.
*Questions if rule is changed: recruits feel obligated to respond? Getting texts during school day?
