Holy hell this is getting stupid:

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) Michigan's football program might have violated an NCAA rule.

Spokesman Justin Dickens confirmed Wednesday that the school's compliance department has been notified a rule may have been broken by receiver Roy Roundtree and linebacker Kenny Demens. The two posted messages on their Twitter accounts to congratulate a recruit.

Roundtree and Demens tweeted to linebacker Mike McCray of Trotwood-Madison High School in Ohio after the highly touted prospect decided to play for the Wolverines. NCAA rules prohibit messages being sent to recruits through social media from accounts affiliated with someone from the school.

A message seeking comment was left with the NCAA.

I'm sorry, but I see nothing wrong with what the players did here. All they did was congratulate the kid on making his commitment, not trying to sway him to play there.

The NCAA really needs an overhaul.

NCAA will likely come down hard, but there is nothing to see in Oregon or Auburn. :shake:

"NCAA rules prohibit messages being sent to recruits through social media from accounts affiliated with someone from the school." Where do you draw the line? These particualar tweets are simply congratulatory from players, but if you allow those--based on message content and from home they were sent--you open up a whole new can of worms. Is the NCAA to start policing tweets, saying "this tweet is allowed, but this tweet isn't"? Hopefully, nothing becomes of this and the NCAA at most warns Michigan and does nothing else.

They are already on probation so this gets a hard look by the NCAA. :tongue2:

repeat offenders?

LOIC and death penalty sounds about right.

Either that or they have to hire RR back.

I'd be content to let them choose which.

I believe Roundtree went to highschool with the kid........You would think that would come into consideration. But as miniscule and trivial as this is, NOTHING good ever comes from twitter, in my IMO[/QUOTE


Mcray would have been in junior high when Roundtree left Trotwood. I can't imagine they do that much hanging together.

Yeah, and our players sold their own awards. Life's a bitch. Fuck Michigan. Let the fucks burn.
