Title: Dalonte on the text message ban

"Banning it hurts the guys that work," Hill said. "Text-messaging is work. You are keeping up conversations right away and not having to wait until you get that one phone call. If you get rid of text messaging, you are giving an advantage to those upper-level universities."

What about instant messaging, or things like facebook/myspace?  Are there any rules regarding those?

It would really be a terrible thing for a school like us.

We need these types of relationships.

First of all, we all know how much the NCAA really is concerned about the kids in class, etc.  This is all about protecting the name universities.  Kind of like the ban a few years ago on small airline flights to the colleges, if I remember correctly.  I believe K-State used this greatly during our rise with the FB program...now we have to fly them in to KC, and then drive them to Manhattan.
