Seriously, don't tweet at recruits.
The University of Iowa inadvertently set off a kerfuffle Monday afternoon after this ordinarily innocuous tweet:
Hawkeye Fans and Boosters, please do not Tweet at Hawkeye Recruits! Leave the recruiting to Iowa coaches!#13.1.2.1
— Hawkeye Compliance (@UIowaCompliance) August 10, 2015
It's a simple enough message, right? According to Lyla Clerry, the University of Iowa Associate AD for Compliance, it was a regular tweet for the @UIowaCompliance account. "It wasn't anything that we saw that triggered it; we've got a pool of topics that we try to communicate through that means, and that was one of them," Clerry told BHGP in a phone interview.
