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!!!!''

it's a sticky wicket thought...

programs getting their "fans" to "friend" a recruit and put the pressure on to select their school opens the door to a lot of problems... i dont pretend to know what the solution is at the moment... but food for thought.
