We’ve eliminated guys for inappropriate language, images, retweets or anything that we see as a red flag. Conversely, guys have moved up on our board because of the positive things we are able to learn through the various social media channels. [Social media] serves as a tremendous resource for us.” – Jeff Scott, Clemson Football
