Many of you are probably aware, but the NCAA SUP has a policy that umpires should not be Facebook (or other similar media) friends with any current players or coaches. They further warn against discussing games or future game assignments in any manner, believing that rabid fans and parents will find some way to challenge the impartiality.

To most, this is overkill, and at other levels (short of professional leagues) it is absurdity. But, the NCAA program has set those guidelines, and like it or not, if you to play in their game, you have to play by their rules.
