I can't seem to find the article but I heard about it. Some players (not named) had questionable content on their myspace sites. I think it was referring to porn from what I was told.

what's the legal age to buy or view porn? I think it varies form state to state but our players arent all from tennessee.

I heard on the radio this morning 'a player on the myspace site that had a video of two women showering naked and a rap song' no player named but the radio host triple H went back to the same site and the content was gone plus the picture of the player............

there was also some hint that some players, again, not named, also had some pictures of atheletes drinking at a party or something, and the players in the pictures were underage....

the whole thingwas really just exploring this as an issue, and an outlet for outsiders (agents, over zealous fans, boosters and the like) to contact players....and what the ramifications of that could be, especially for players at big time D1 schools...

it referenced what could happen if future employers, or NFL brass, would think about some of the stuff that is posted on Myspace....it also referenced another "friend" site, can't remember the name, that was only for use by college students....have to have a valid college id to log on and use this particular site.

it also touched on the possible ramifications in recruiting violoations that could come of sites such as this....the NCAA has no official ruling, cause the technology has outpaced NCAA rules....but that's no shocker there...

the difference between the two being that myspace is in front of God and everybody....so what you post (lude pictures, phone numbers, email addresses, etc...) is highly accessable to anyone that wants to find it.

And finally, it posed the question of what is to be done about it and that the athletic department will eventually have something in writing as it relates to it's policy on such websites.....but no one really knew the answer, other than some common sense has to take control when D1 atheletes are posting personal informaiton....

Pretty good read though....

I saw another big article about two weeks ago saying coaches are having to crack down on players using MySpace because of what they post and what they say. Some players in the midwest were basically laying out practice and plays to 'friends' who pretended to be fans but were actually 'spies'. Others were in trouble griping about coaches and giving out medical reports.

Although you can't really stop it, coaches are setting rules and many are prohibiting players from using sites like this.
