No service: OSU's Meyer derides new texting rule

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Urban Meyer clearly wasn't thrilled with the recent changes to recruiting rules, but it's the deregulation of text messages in particular that is bothering the Ohio State coach.

Along with banning satellite camps Friday, the Division I Council deregulated electronic communication with student-athletes in several sports including football. The change could allow coaches to send unlimited text messages to potential recruits and contact them on social media.

While the satellite camp rule doesn't appear like it will affect the Buckeyes much, both that change and the potential flooding of the phones of recruits have Meyer's attention as likely problems for student-athletes moving forward.
