Mike Leach focused on the important things - washingtonismoney - 10-23-2012
Like banning his team from using Twitter: http://www.cougcenter.com/2012/10/23/3546276/mike-leach-twitter-ban-wsu-football
Now there's one way to earn the ire of Silicon Valley. Think of the exit strategy. Won't anyone PLEASE think of the exit strategy?!??!

Maybe he doesn't trust his team, or maybe he just wants to set the tone for a serious season. Certainly better athletes have caused themselves no small trouble with uncensored tweets. Pirates don't tweet, arrrr.

Coaches routinely limit press access to players. Limiting other forms of highly-visible public statements seems like a natural extension. My guess is we'll be seeing more of this from more coaches.

This was due. The use of Twitter by both college and pro athletes has so often led to trouble. If I were the coach, I would have this policy in place from the get-go.

Gotta agree with Chip Kelly: "If you can't trust a player with Twitter, you can't trust him on third down."

Well, obviously there are lots of players whom coaches do NOT trust on third down, so the analogy breaks down a little bit - is there a Twitter "bench" for some and not others?
Universities actually will pay a third-party to monitor to student-athlete tweets.
And then there's the First Amendment crowd to think about:
Quote: The California state Senate sent a measure to Gov. Jerry Brown on Tuesday that would prevent both public and private colleges and universities from requesting access to students' social media accounts, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The bill would also prevent schools from punishing students who refuse to grant access to their personal social media accounts, even though, if this bill passes, schools would be violating the law by doing so.Â

Gov. Brown signed the law.
