Twitter in College Sports

I made a Twitter account...... then I deleted it less than one month later.  I don't think Twitter accounts are something college and high school athletes should possess.  Professional athletes can't even seem to control what they say to the public and publish for everyone's viewing convenience.  The social maturity of most young athletes is not very high.  They seem to feel as though they can say whatever they want to whenever they feel like it.  As a result, athletes have lost scholarships and gotten into trouble with the public quite often.  Some of the recent Tweets that have gotten athletes in trouble have been racially offensive (See Maryland football recruit, Stefon Diggs), threatening and ignorant.  Diggs is only a Senior in high school and has an opportunity to move on past his poor upbringing and get a college education, while opening up the possibility of playing in the NFL one day.  Tweets like the one Diggs published about Jeremy Lin are the easy way out of starting a successful football career.  Having a Twitter account means one can publish his or her opinion any time of day.  So if an athlete is drunk or out with friends, their egos can easily take over their general thought process.  This can blind them and make them say something they normally would never speak of or mention.
