University of Tennessee’s head football coach Derek Dooley got into trouble for posting on a recruit’s Facebook wall, a second degree violation of the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s standards.
Ah, those Facebook mobile apps can be tricky, can’t they? Dooley, who had been privately messaging a prospective recruit and at one point, thought he was replying to a message with another message, but was actually posting on the student’s wall.

Dooley, who last January became University of Tennessee’s new head coach of the Vols, was forced to report an NCAA secondary degree violation because on June 3rd he was caught posting on four-star high school recruit Nick O’Leary’s Facebook wall.
