A new NCAA rule states that subtweeting (the act of tweeting to or about someone without actually using their name/nickname) is now considered a violation with any unsigned recruit.
It appears as though Mark Dantonio became the first college football coach to break this rule after Jack Camper, a three-star TE, committed to the Spartans on Tuesday.
Congrats on Ascending from the Sunshine State to the Spartans. Will set up Camp permanently in EL next Jan. 2017. #V4MSU!

Camper’s nickname is “Camp,” which Dantonio used in the above tweet, and appears to be a violation of the silly NCAA rule.
Camper is ranked as the No. 677 player in the 2017 class:
