It appears Instagram and Photoshop are among the tools of recruitment that are now considered cheating by the NCAA. I sure glad they have taken this step. We wouldn't want anyone to color correct an image so that the hideous colors of the uniform look better.
NCAA Rule Banning Photoshop and Instagram
I just wonder how this will effect all the glossy photo books and other items that the NCAA uses?

They've backed down, LOL...

UPDATE: Responding to criticism over its apparent ban on Instagram photos being sent to recruits, the NCAA altered the wording of the education column referenced in the article below and issued a statement late Thursday afternoon clarifying its position.
"There is no NCAA ban of Instagram," the statement read. "Schools just can't alter the content of photos ΓΆ€” and to be clear, we do not consider Instagram's filters as content alteration ΓΆ€” and then email them directly to recruits."
In case the statement wasn't proof enough of the NCAA's stance, an NCAA spokesman tweeted the amusing photo to the right. So there you have it, coaches. You can send recruits Sepia-toned photos to your heart's content. |

The NCAA probably received a check from Zuckerberg to allow the continued use of Instagram. But Photoshop is probably still banned... |

Yeah except that if you're a Penn State recruit you get to use it 45 times or so... |

I think Penn State will have a pretty difficult time recruiting anyone for a long while!
