NCAA Banned Texting. GWAVA Brings it Back

Come join GWAVA  to learn how to turn texting back on in your school. Joining us as guest presenter is Steve Corder, Assistant Athletic Director for NCAA Compliance for the University of Detroit Mercy. UDM uses Retain to track cell phone usage by its staff. 

NCAA rules around recruiting are very specific – no texting to recruits. So what do most universities do? They make all their coaches and recruiters turn off texting completely on their phones to avoid any possibility of abuse.

Instead of prohibiting all texting, Retain™ for BlackBerry® from GWAVA offers a great alternative. Retain securely archives every text message and logs all phone calls made from BlackBerry smartphones on the system on a SQL server.

There is nothing to install on the users’ phones and Retain runs on your existing hardware. Any time there is even a question of impropriety, it is fast and easy to verify and if necessary, take care of any potential problems quickly.
