ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan's football program might have violated an NCAA rule.
Spokesman Justin Dickens confirmed
Wednesday that the school's compliance department has been notified a
rule may have been broken by receiver Roy Roundtree and linebacker Kenny
Demens. The two posted messages on their Twitter accounts to
congratulate a recruit.

Roundtree and Demens tweeted to
linebacker Mike McCray of Trotwood-Madison High School in Ohio after the
highly touted prospect decided to play for the Wolverines. NCAA rules
prohibit messages being sent to recruits through social media from
accounts affiliated with someone from the school.
A message seeking comment was left with the NCAA.
