Those Tweets Get You Every Time

After UNC had their punishments handed down by the NCAA last week, it was a good exercise to remember back to how this whole saga began--before the lawsuit that revealed massive plagarism, before the coach getting fired, before players getting suspended.

Remember, all this started with Tweets from a future NFL draftee regarding the free stuff he was getting at an agent's party in Miami...oops!  This story shows that what athletes post on Twitter and Facebook are serious enough that college athletic departments are devoting resources to monitor their athletes.

Of course, my students don't think it's fair.  Too bad!
