A few things you to can do help UW stay in compliance..

[HR_Poke]

Sometimes I think the NCAA makes rules just to make them. I mean why worry about booster contact on twitter when they don't have the testicular fortitude to punish the big name schools for paying players.

The NCAA learned a lot from Congress. :roll:

Pretty much.

Twitter recruiting violations = Jaywalking of college football.

 

[McPeachy]

Idea: Open a twitter account called "Colorado State #1 Fan" and go nuts.

So what kind predicament does this put UW in? For Example what if one recruit is getting all kinds of attention from fans of a rival school while UW fans knowing to stay in compliance do not. So he ends up choosing CSU because he feels much more wanted.

It either needs to be enforced or it's only working against us.

Spot on. That was my primary point. Who is to say who is on the other end, and if it is honest or malicious?

Completely unenforceable.

 

[WyoBrandX]

Pretty ridiculous. The communications are public and out in the open.

Here's my problem... I don't care how enforceable or whatever it is.. does anyone else find it weird that grown ass people are tweeting at 18 years olds begging them to come to their school?

I totally agree that it's creepy but recruiting is so cuthroat these days, I think schools are ok with any advantage they can get, Even if it means some Alabama fan who's whole life depends on bama football tweeting high school players.

But then again when I was 18 I liked all the attention and praise I could get for being a football player.

Grown ass people are usually the wealthy people who pay the players. Sounds about right to me.
I don't even run my twitter account.
I have no idea who all those millions of followers are.

Who are you exactly? We've pm'd about your running a little a while back ,but I have no idea who you are in real life.

 

[Cowboy Junky]

She's the boss.

It has to be Alyssa Milano. How many other Alyssas spell their name like that, speak multiple languages, have millions of twitter followers, frequently sported Wyoming gear in that show with all the witches, post like they know they're absolute dime pieces, and have a burnout shirt with Steamboat on it....

I'm not AM. She is very nice though.
Y'all should know the sarcastic parts of what I say.
Yeah Mr. K, I run. But I do other things too.

You should know the drill by now, we don't believe anything with out pictures. How's Danza doing these days?

Since it is recruiting season, just as good of a time as any to bump this thread.

If you've ever bought a ticket to any sporting event hosted by the University of Wyoming you are considered a booster. Also, by being a member of this board you are promoting Wyoming athletics.

The first part is not quite accurate- paid attendance at a collegiate athletic event doth not a booster make.

Haven't quite gotten a full understanding of how far it goes with paid attendance, but season ticket holders ARE considered boosters by the NCAA.
