Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury admits they use fake social media accounts with pictures of cute girls to monitor their players social media activity.
“We have fake accounts with cute girls that they add right now, so we can see what’s going on and who’s tweeting what,” he said. “Those are heavily monitored, for sure.”
Do the players know?
“I think they do, but they can’t resist that,” Kingsbury said, laughing. “A friend request from a cute girl is an automatic follow.”
So in this age of social media, what are your thoughts? Is making up accounts to follow players fair game, or underhanded and manipulative? How would you feel if your boss did this? Have you made up a fake account to monitor someone on social media (other than your kids)?
Disclaimer, I do not have any social media accounts, so not sure where I stand on this.
