A lot of the pomp and circumstance, especially for individual schools, when it comes to National Signing Day has shifted to social media in general and Twitter in particular. Two FBS schools, though, have been hit with what’s likely a temporary ban hammer.
If you attempt to access the Twitter accounts for both the Missouri Tigers and USF Bulls football programs, you receive a notification that the accounts have been suspended.
No specific reason for the suspensions has been determined.
The suspensions, though, are the continuation of a mini-epidemic of sorts for the sport. Overnight Monday, Texas Longhorns football saw its Twitter account suspended, staying that way until almost noon ET Tuesday morning before it was reactivated.
According to SBNation.com, that suspension likely “had to do with copyright policy pertaining to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.” It appears Mizzou may have fallen victim to that recent phenomenon as well.
