I understand the impulse to tell a bunch of 18 year olds that they can't use social media. 18 year olds, myself included at that age, say stupid things. They let their emotions get the best of them. If you're a high profile athlete at a top football school each tweet is going to be dissected and analyzed. Are you talking about the coach? Is there a rift in the locker room? Wait, what's that? Those are rap lyrics to his favorite song? Oh...never mind. Journalists have column inches to fill and with the limits some coaches place on their players access to journalists it's understandable that they would take a look at the one unfiltered place where players can speak their minds.
