Urban Meyer Calls Deregulation of Text Messaging Recruits by NCAA 'Ignorant,' Hopes Satellite Camp Rules Are Revisited

A pair of NCAA recruiting rules with regards to text messages and satellite football camps has Ohio State's Urban Meyer perturbed.

The governing body of college sports decided Friday that camps where coaches from other schools could attend to see high school players in different cities and states were no more, effective immediately. It also halted the deregulation of text messages between coaches and recruits, meaning a high school player can now receive however many messages coaches want to send them, at all hours of the day.

"The texting thing is the most ignorant thing I've ever heard in my life," Meyer said Monday.
