New NCAA social media rules change game in recruiting

College coaches across the nation began taking advantage of new NCAA rules regarding social media early Monday morning.

Beginning at midnight, coaches could like and share posts by recruits on social media apps such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. However, coaches are not allowed to comment on posts or tag or mention recruits in posts. In short, the NCAA allows coaches to take actions on social media that require the click of a mouse or keyboard but not posts that require typing.
