This isn't anything new. My daughter played 4 years of college softball and all 4 years they had a ban on social media. During the fall season and normal spring season. Now that she is a college coach, she has adapted the rule herself. It's called removing the distractions from the players so they can play a drama free game. I wish everyone would leave it well enough alone and let the coaches and players make their own decisions on this. It's like the FFRF that is butting into anything and everything. They tried it with Clemson last year and when that didn't work now they are after other colleges. The players come to the school they decided under their own free will. They know before hand what Dabo's about and they still come to Clemson. It must mean that they feel comfortable enough to let Dabo into their lives and Dabo is not going to make him convert or not play. If he did that he'd have enough complaints against him that he wouldn't be the coach any longer. Move on people there is nothing to see here. Go Tigers.

Let's put aside the fact that the social media ban at Clemson is a result of a vote by team members.

Let's put aside the fact that no one cares what the AD of Arkansas thinks.

Let's put aside the numerous other ways in which the "opportunity to make a mistake" is taken away from college athletes in the interest of focus, team unity, brand-protection, etc.

Let's put aside the idea that removal of social media for a few months in 2015 would probably be MUCH more enlightening than allowing these players to use it the whole time.

The bottom line is that this isn't something we are seeking a national debate on. We ("we" being our coaches or our team or our administration) are managing OUR team. We do not care what everyone else does and we do not care what people think about our efforts to stay clear of distractions and unnecessary drama. Other teams have different rules around curfews, dress for away games, who can interview in the locker room after a game, etc, etc. This is just one of ours.

oh no...***

one question you Arkansas hick....

besides, the team voted for it.***

He doesn't sign Dabo's paycheck.

Re: Arkansas AD disagrees with Swinney

and Arkansas has done what in forever!!? who cares what

Why should we or anyone else care what the Arky AD thinks***

That's not a quote from Jeff Long, by the way.

You always spoil our fun.

Long's tweet doesn't refer to Clemson or Swinney...

This is the dumbest non-issue I've ever seen.

Who?

Hey Arky Dumbazz, they can still send private messages.

sounds like it's time to start FAXing all the Arky students

So hog sue me!***

You do it your way, we'll do it the right way

Why not let each coach determine what is best for his team?***
