DescriptionSocial media is being used amongst intercollegiate athletic departments, student-athletes and the NCAA. This study seeks to understand the impact of social media on intercollegiate athletics. More precisely, this study looks into the specific policies set-forth by the NCAA and individual athletic departments. Existing research has established the importance of social media in intercollegiate athletics but there is still some confusion as to how social media can and should be used. Unfortunately, policies do fail to elaborate on the proper tactics student-athletes should be using when engaging in social media platforms. In order to establish best practices of social media by student-athletes, this study looked into policies that contained social media strategies. Third party consultants in some cases were also used as potential solutions. This study also illustrated examples of how student-athletes and intercollegiate athletic programs have suffered the consequences as a result of their actions on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. There may always be a cause for concern when dealing with social media because of how quickly information is being shared as technological advancements continue to prosper.
