Educational Column: Recruiting � Electronic Transmissions � Microblogs (I)

NCAA Division I member institutions should note that it is permissible for an institution's Web site or an athletics department staff member's personal Web site (or
personal page on any site) to include information related to the institution's athletics program, subject to the restrictions applicable to an institution's athletics Web site.
Accordingly, a coach may post general informational content not created for a recruiting purpose such as game scores, team updates, facility updates or generic updates
regarding the coaching staff and/or team to the extent they do not mention a specific prospect. These formats may include Web site posts, online personal journals such
as blogs and microblogs, which are a form of blogging resulting in a stream of short blog posts that are generally limited by a total number of characters. A current
example of a microblog is Twitter.
