Facebook, MySpace and College Athletics

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Are these sites contributing to your team and school's image, or are they creating the wrong impression?
  • If the local media starts surfing around, will they find images that could damage your team or school's reputation? (note: many of you already have a problem...)
  • More importantly, how will you respond when asked "Why didn't you know about this?" by your principal or athletics director?
  • How can you find out before they do?
We can provide a confidential workshop for your coaching staff to help them understand how to educate their team members on appropriately managing their online profiles--and keep you and your school out of hot water! Contact us.
