in response to OwensboroVol:

If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the rules that Bruce Pearl was fired for and that were called a major infraction by the NCAA. Just more evidence that the NCAA is vindictive against some of the coaches involved in College Athletics. The rule was a joke then and still is and the fact they are dropping it means they should go back and remove the sanctions placed against Bruce Pearl for this infraction.

No, Pearl did not get sanctioned for too many texts. He was sanctioned for lying about entertaining a high school junior at his house which has been and will be against the NCAA rules. The extra phone calls and texts would have been a minor violation outside of the above.
