From Yahoo (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Tom-Crean-s-too-obvious-Twitter-blunder?urn=ncaab,176769).

"Last we checked, most college coaches using Twitter have used it as a one-way broadcasting service. They don't follow recruits, they don't use messaging features, and they don't do anything that could potentially violate any sort of text- or email-related NCAA recruiting rules. Crean used to be this way. His followers were numerous; his "following" number was always 0.

No more. Now, Crean is following other users (http://twitter.com/TomCrean/following): @YahooSportsNBA (yeah, son!), @NBA, @kevineastman and @kyrieirving. Irving is the important one here. He's Rivals's No. 14-ranked recruit for the class of 2010 (http://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?sport=2&pr_key=85480). Indiana has been heavily involved in his recruitment."

It won't be long until we see NCAA sanctions occur as a result of Twitter usage, and I don't doubt the NCAA will have to create a set of specifically for Twitter (if they haven't already).
