OSU Commits Violation After Coach’s 4-Year-Old Son Texts Recruit

This has to be a first in terms of NCAA violations.  According to The Lantern, Ohio State self-reported a violation after the 4-year-old son of WR coach Zach Smith sent a text message to a recruit during the dead-period.

OSU wide receivers coach Zach Smith’s son picked up his father’s cell phone when a recruit called on May 27, and accidentally sent an automatic text message in return. The university sent a letter of education to the football coaches after the incident in regards to NCAA texting rules and phone security.

The NCAA did not review the case as part of its interpretations philosophy, which allows for flexibility when reviewing rule violations.
