If permitted, good strategy (player letters). Nice touch in my mind. I'd prefer letter writing to all the tweeting. More personal, and requires a person to sit down and actually put a bit of thought into communication,,,,, instead of click click send.....

It is 100% legal. Not to get off topic but at the division 2 and 3 levels texting is legal as well. Division 1 I'm not sure of but it will be legal there in a matter of time.

I thought the currently players could have contact but the coaches couldn't make them.

I'm probably wrong though.

It probably was a requirement to be hand written so they can get credit hours towards their general studies degree.

With Lynch, Nix, Tuitt, Manti....I think it goes without saying, he probably will not. lol
