It looks like the coach is going to have to be careful about all of his talk about being a team on and off the court.
According to Sports Illustrated, a few journalism students at the University of Maryland recently looked into what other colleges across the country are doing to make sure their student-athletes don’t do anything stupid with their social media accounts.
It turns out the University of Georgia men’s basketball program controls not only what its players are allowed to post on Facebook and Twitter, but also each player’s sexual practices. And while most of what the program demands from its players in regards to treating women with respect is merely common sense, some of what is listed seems more like scripture from an unpopular religion rather than good advice:
Stay out of gray areas, orgies and gang bangs are inappropriate.
Don’t spend all of your energy in the bed all night
Hicky’s (sic)/passion marks should not be ever noticed by coaches
One. Not two or three girlfriends …
Jesus H, isn’t having two or three girlfriends at the same time what college is all about? Looks like my kid will be playing hoops and pursuing a mass communication degree at Mississippi State.
We assume sharing this story on Facebook is a no-no for the players as well: The Secret History of Porn
