Interesting ruling yesterday about Northwester's players to speak on social media about injuries and the media. Bill has been able to control his message about injuries and players messages to the press.
Now this rule applies to the private schools, but will it trickle down to the rest?

"The ruling, which referred to players as employees, found that they must be freely allowed to post on social media, discuss issues of their health and safety, and speak with the media"
