Wonder if one of the conditions of the scholarship is loss of 1st amendment?

I don't think that is the issue. He isn't speaking for just himself he is talking for the university as well. I mean the school is technically giving him a few thousand dollars a year. It's the same thing as trying to give out secrets or wrong information for your own job. They don't have to put up with it. First amendment says the government can't take away your free speech, but it doesn't say a company on institution can't punish you for it.

I think so. Paid in knowledge, free school (monetary), and in life with great chances at success.

Yeah, I think so too. I don't think they should bad mouth the program. But banning it outright is a bit extreme.

Its like I can talk about my employer all I want. Just no negative stuff

What exactly did he do wrong here?

Either (a) made fools of and embarrassed folks blog-stalking him and hanging on his every word (b) was being sarcastic because everyone claimed the sky was falling when it obviously wasn't (2 recruits told to look elsewhere and the press reported we were losing recruits like mad) (c) heard things wrong (d) some combination of the above.

Basically, he scared over-reactive blog-stalkers who take tweets as gospel instead of what they are - random thoughts, musings, and statements many times made in jest.

A team ought to be like a family. If you wouldn't tweet about how your family is having a tough time with something, why would you do it with your team?

And by "tough times", I don't mean tweeting Oh noez and sympathies about an injury witnessed on national TV.
