Probably because it goes to judgement, responsibility, etc.

What used to be referred to as engaging one's brain before engaging one mouth. Actually despite the high text aspect, it takes longer to type a gaff then it takes to blurt out one out. And now the audience is nationwide not just those within earshot.

Think about this past season, Kelly responds to a question at a PC. Rather than show the courtesy to ask THEIR coach personally for clarification, some players infer something he didn't imply and take to their twitter accounts to let their posses know where they stand.

Eifert erred and it was corrected. Wright had his pick of top programs and top schools and now is headed to Colorado. Antony Weiner got to be a FORMER Congressman not because he couldn't keep it in his pants but because he tweeted about it.

The media follows twitter for those they feel newsworthy. Those in that fish bowl need to realize it.

Didn't FSU prohibit players from using Twitter during the season last year? I believe a few NFL teams have done the same.
As an institution you need to walk a fine line between protecting yourself and your players and being too heavy-handed with teenage student-athletes. It only grows complicated as kids become more engaged in social media all the time. And there are marketing/image benefits to Twitter if it's done right.
But I'd be quite surprised if Notre Dame hasn't at least considered a ban. If nothing else I hope there's some serious "social media standards" education going on in the Gug this offseason.

as much as I hate scUM, this is no different from the Eifert tweet and a fine line is being drawn in regards to social media...

He will be compensated in the form of a burlap sack full of dicks.

Does this mean he is officially done covering Notre Dame sports?

I sure hope so. His gameday tweets were nonstop complaining about people cheering in the pressbox instead of watching without bias.

Those were the only tweets of his I actually appreciated. Nothing worse than a pressbox or interview room full of yocals.

He'll probably do a yearly piece on ND just ripping the school/coach/team/whatever to shreads on something or other...
