I don't like it. The kids are going to be bombarded by calls, text, game requests, Facebook messages and everything else all the time! I think it's better to lump all in one category, but still have dead periods during which no contact electronic or otherwise is permitted.

That's my take too. I don't know if it'll benefit Stanford relative to everyone else, but I do remember reading that Shaw wasn't a fan of the change:

"I think we need to have some conversations about how we would operate in that world," Stanford coach David Shaw said. "As coaches, I think we're happy where we're at. These kids were texting during class. They need to go to school. That is what's important. The underclassmen, they can't do anything for us immediately. So many of them are going to change their minds four or five times on where they're going to school, so do we need to potentially barrage them? I don't know if it helps our sport."
