It seems this IS the question. Many teams and coaching staffs have resorted to “banning” Twitter to prevent gaffes by their players or to protect them from those who will only criticize and trash the players of the university.

It’s been 3 years since I’ve indulged myself in the life of Social Media. Since then, I have made amazing connections and have valued each of my connections’ insight. I would not be where I am (career-wise) without the network I have. Whether it’s through LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Temple University…I have built (and I’m still building) a network for myself.

This past weekend, I went over 1,000 followers on Twitter and I never said “get me to 1,000″ or ...

There was once a time when kids, teenagers, and old men waited in line for an autograph of their favorite athlete. There was once a time that autographs were a hot commodity to present to friends and family members as something you earned after hours or dollars spent.

Everyone has probably asked an athlete or celebrity for their autograph before. It’s only fitting that you would want that ...
