JACOB: And here's another problem. At other schools, college coaches regulate student athletes speech on Facebook and Twitter, even when their sport is not in session. This is America and the last time I checked, we had freedom of speech. Americans fought and died for freedom of speech.
It just isn't right to tell athletes what they can and cannot say on Facebook and Twitter. It's none of the school's business. No one tells students on an art scholarship or a band scholarship or a math scholarship what they can and cannot say on Facebook. This is discrimination. And it isn't right.
