West Virginia coach Rich Rodriguez has implemented a ban on dancing on social media for his players. The coach clarified that while he is not banning players from using social media, he does not want them dancing in tights on platforms like TikTok, as it does not align with the hard edge image he wants for the team. Rodriguez emphasized the importance of a team mindset in football, rather than focusing on individualism that is prevalent on social media. He expressed a desire for his players to focus on winning football games rather than on social media trends like TikTok. This decision comes as social media platforms, including TikTok, have become increasingly popular among college athletes for sharing dance videos. Despite this trend, Rodriguez is adamant about maintaining a team-first approach and has made it clear that dancing on social media will not be allowed on his team. With Rodriguez returning for his second stint as the Mountaineers head coach, he is setting clear expectations for his players in terms of their social media use.
