FSU bans players from twitter

Earlier this week it was announced by Florida State head coach that his players were going to be banned from using the social networking site Twitter. I knew one day that it would come to this. College coaches believe that once you sign that dotted line for a scholarship they own you. How much power do these coaches really have? I wonder what are the ramifications for a player on his team that decides to tweet anyway?  I mean it is their 1st amendment right to express themselves in speech or in this case tweet. Does playing college sports mean you sacrifice that right? I don't think so. Jimbo Fisher says he has made this restriction on the players behalf; i believe this ban has been enabled moreso to protect himself than anything. There are better ways of developing responsible young men rather than making restrictions he could educate. Educate his young men on appropriate tweets, let them know that what they tweet can be seen by the world in matter of minutes and once its out its out. However, coaches like Jimbo Fisher rather play boss than invest the time.
