Some day college football players will learn not everything needs to be shared to the public. Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones found that out, as you may have heard by now, but things turned out OK for him. Maybe Penn State sophomore safety Bryant Harper will learn a lesson after being publicly scorned by his head coach on Twitter.
On Monday, Harper took to Twitter to boast about a B he received on a recent anatomy exam.
"B on my first anatomy exam and I didn't study I'll take it"
Penn State head coach James Franklin, known to be fluent with Twitter, saw the tweet from his player (or had somebody point it out to him), and responded…
"you didn't study huh, interesting, guess I need to up your study hall hours! We don't settle for B's!"
Who knows just how serious Franklin was about the Twitter comment, but if nothing else a lesson should be learned by all college football players. What you put on Twitter (or Facebook or Instagram) will have someone watching, so be careful what you share! Harper was reminded of the Penn State philosophy of Success With Honor by way of some public humiliation from his head coach. Harper took this lesson in stride, and odds are he will not be bragging about any B‘s anytime soon.
Don't tweet your business!
FWIW, I think the kid is a walk-on and a good student.
Not the sharpest cookie in the tool shed!
Why do I think there may be problems with these stats? All the way up the line? Perhaps it is because of all the soft coursework and pandering to the athletes in return for the money athletics brings in.
I don’t know. Why would you? PSU has always had excellent student athletes. This is nothing new.
