Student athlete tweeting has been quite the contentious issue in college sports of late. Some programs have resorted to Twitter bans. Others have banned hundreds of words from their athletes’ Twitter vocabulary.
At UNC, coaches have flirted with Twitter bans.
But at the moment, it appears as though most UNC student athletes are free to tweet to their hearts’ delight.
To celebrate, we’re launching another new From the Press Blog feature called Hark the Tweets. Twice a week, we’ll highlight some of our favorite tweets from student athletes and coaches. If you see a tweet that you think belongs here, retweet it with the hashtag #harkthis. It just might make it onto the next list.
But without further ado, here’s today’s edition of Hark the Tweets:
