Compliance offices take note of what Texas A&M University is doing. Texas A&M Compliance is on Facebook and Twitter, but so are many other programs. How many offices are publishing a “Guide to NCAA Rules for Those Associated with Student-Athletes?” Titled “ENTOURAGE”, the guide is distributed to individuals associated with Texas A&M Athletics and those individuals affiliated with Texas A&M student-athletes. I am a big fan of its structure, the fact that it is easy to read, and encompasses a variety of subjects. The real question, though, is will any student-athletes actually read it and/or retain its information?

Well intentioned but I find it nearly impossible to believe that an entourage member would actually adjust his behavior based upon this publication.
