Be Careful Who You Cheer For

IN THE NEWS: COLLEGE FANS WARNED ABOUT FACEBOOK COMMENTS

CYBERSPACE (AP) -- College sports fans, be careful of the company

you keep on Facebook.

You might get yourself -- and the program you support -- in

trouble.

That was the lesson this week for Taylor Moseley, a North

Carolina State freshman who expressed a common-enough opinion on

campus when he started the Facebook group called "John Wall PLEASE

come to NC STATE!!!!"

More than 700 people signed up for the group encouraging Wall --

a local standout and the nation's No. 1 basketball recruit -- to

pick the Wolfpack by national signing day next week.

But the NCAA says such sites, and dozens more like them wooing

Wall and other top recruits, violate its rules. More than just

cheerleading boards, the NCAA says the sites are an attempt to

influence the college choice of a recruit.
