Somebody sent me a tweet that I just assumed was a joke but upon further review, I guess it isn't.
Or it is.
I dunno.
The point here is that we have potentially uncovered a bountiful source of new unintentional (or intentional) comedy and really, that's why we're here.
Schools have started having their compliance teams staff Twitter accounts so that an athlete presented with a situation where he's not sure what he can or can not do can just get a quick answer. I for one applaud them doing this in such a transparent fashion.
Recently, OU player Trent Ratterree encountered just such a conundrum.
