Tom Izzo isn’t a fan of social media. Izzo isn’t unique in his opinion on social media, many of his peers have similar opinions particularly when it comes to players and using social media. Alabama’s Nick Saban has a strict policy policing players social media.
I disagree with Izzo because of the power behind social media and the ability to extend the reach people beyond just you current network. However for college athletes with the NCAA and public watching, social media can be dangerous. Take Ohio State, they are still waiting for the NCAA to rule on the picture Braxton Miller posted.
Tom Izzo today at his presser: "I don’t think social media is helpful to any human being on the planet.” I respectively disagree.
