KNOX NEWS "MYSPACE" ARTICLE (UT Football Players) - Page 2

I saw another big article about two weeks ago saying coaches are having to crack down on players using MySpace because of what they post and what they say. Some players in the midwest were basically laying out practice and plays to 'friends' who pretended to be fans but were actually 'spies'. Others were in trouble griping about coaches and giving out medical reports.

Although you can't really stop it, coaches are setting rules and many are prohibiting players from using sites like this.

I heard on the radio this morning 'a player on the myspace site that had a video of two women showering naked and a rap song' no player named but the radio host triple H went back to the same site and the content was gone plus the picture of the player............

Yep, I know who they're talking about.

The Myspace site is flat out dangerous for college athletes. Not only having one for yourself but what your friends have on thier site can be bad as well. Just imagine all the dig pics that are taken with camera phones and such. There was the Northwestern womens soccer thing that got several of them suspended for hazing. There has been talk of convicting or suspending players shown drinking underage on thier own myspace pages and on others myspace pages. I even read that they are solving crimes from people bragging about them on myspace. Today's collegate athelete has to walk a very thin line and myspace is a bit of pandoras box IMO.

i posted a thread on this subject yesterday but got moved to other boards. I guess the title was not sufficient. Anyways, I think this myspace stuff is walking a thinline with the athletes.

You never want to see improper language or leaches who are unsavory characters leaving public messages especially under age girls. Most of these players are 1 or 2 years out of high school and still associate with their home town school. I think players should be banned from myspace and any that do should result from suspension. Nothing but bad things can arise from this website.
