Really are we discussing msn articles now?

But to give perspective here: this is for college athletes. Nothing new.

Those people, usually, agree to several freedom limitations, such as ridicule curfews and sex life control before games and such.

I doubt one more freedom limitation is any concern.

About the fears of it leaking to other jobs, well they are doing that for decades and you still have to hear your manager saying the curfew today will be 3pm cuz he do not want you making sex before the launch tomorrow.



I understand that msn articles can contain sensationalism and may not contain the most accurate facts, however let's not make a hasty generalization. Freedom limitations such a curfew and sex life control, are by design there to limit the person's physical behavior, where being forced to provide your password to your social media account, an area where you feel that you can speak freely as a person, has nothing to do with trying to increase one's physical performance. To me, this just seem's to be a way to protect their institution. For example, It get's leaked that their QB believes in the Communism movement, which could reflect poorly on the school. This goes against progress as we are judging athletes based on their believes and not their athletic abilities. I find that the issue is more complicated than it just being something athletes should adapt to since they agree to give up certain freedoms when they join a team.
