Would you banned players from posting on Social Media?

No but I would kick Perry off the team for *** videos.

He would also get a severe @ss chewing and punishment for making negative social media posts calling the school a big high school and seeing the same faces.

He would either get onboard or GTFO

I’m a bit of a hard *** when it comes to this type of stuff. I have zero tolerance for players doing stupid things on Social Media. If I was running this program, I would band them from posting on Social Media during Spring Training and August-January 7th.

If I’m not mistaken, Alabama and Clemson do not allow players on Social Media. Then again, for the NCAA sake, if I were them, I wouldn’t allow them to either.

Thoughts?

I can't speak directly regarding Bama, but Clemson does not allow any Social Media when Fall Camp begins until their season is completed. They started this policy 7-8 years ago. The players themselves were instrumental in coming up with the policy. Now, the upperclassmen police the underclassmen. Works well for them.

Here's the thing. I'd say pretty much the entire team uses some form of social media and 95% of them never post or say anything incriminating or detrimental. I'd say it's smart to have rules and if certain players break those rules they get punished on an individual basis. Banning social media for the entire team would be akin to banning video games in the 90's because three kids skipped class to play video games. Every
It's a team concept mistakes by a couple players on and off the field affects team.Manny already has the players in a group with a leader of the group so players are held accountable to they're group and the team.

Team leaders need to police any posts embarrassing to the school or the program.

I remember Ed Reed describing how players not participating in offseason workouts were shunned. The same standard should be held for social media.

Post an IG picture of the visiting grandparents? Cool.
A picture from celebrating a win? Great.

A post about your lack of playing time? Nope - you got to earn time.

so strip his ship away bc he posted on twitter, insta, or fb? lol some of you guys would not last in recruiting then. no recruits would care what perry's posts were just that he was kicked off for social media use. you just have to learn to deal with social media use.

he is stupid with his SM use for being a public figure (i dont even like when normal people curse on twitter on public accounts), but you cant kick him off unless hes actually done something wrong.

He posting **** and large sums of money on his social media. You **** right.
 
No way. But you can have someone in place to on staff to police it constantly, and repeat offenders would be subject to penalty ect. You have to have rules in place and they have to be followed, if you straight up Ban it, you would deter kids from coming here, as silly as it sounds it is true.

Don't think you can ban it as engrained it is in today's society. With input from the players, the staff should set ground rules and have meetings with all as soon as possible when the freshman get on campus. Getting input from the players will have them buy in to the rules versus having the rules rammed down their throats and creating dissention. Educate the players about the consequences - good and bad - of what they post.

Plenty of schools have a ban on Instagram or snap chat. Is becoming less and less acceptable but it's been a thing. We used to do it under onion and the beginning of alfraud once the investigation was known. Social media really is the devil.

No. It’s ******* ridiculous to do so.

All any kid will do is create a hidden account anyway
