Why hasn't Benedict been tweeting?

[UConnJim]

Not that there is any problem with not tweeting, but I noticed that Benedict only tweeted 4 times in December and 0 times in January. Why?

Here is the data (approximately):

January 2018: 0
December: 4 (Contract extended Dec. 4th)
November: 158
October: 82
September: 83
August: 95
July: 19
June: 0
May: 1
April: 1
March: 52
February: 159 (Lots of retweets on football National Signing Day)
January 2017: 26

Some interesting non-tweets: No tweets for football signing day in December. No tweets welcoming football's new offensive coordinator. No tweets for Chris Dailey being named a Women's Basketball Hall of Fame finalist.

NCAA is likely investigating us for a yet to be written anti-tweeting restriction that they intend to apply to us retroactively. AD Dave is just being cautious.

Not if used properly. It can (and has been) used for positive change in other aspects of life (and sadly, sometimes not so positive change). Embrace social media folks, it can be quite powerful (and in a good way if used in an intelligent fashion)!

2 guesses

1) it isn't football season

2) every tweet would just result in 100 replys

Probably the staff person who handled the tweeting moved to something else. AD Dave is busy.

yeah these are just some of his most recent mentions with him being less active on twitter

UConn99 is an idiot. So that makes it certain he posts here too.

 

[Penfield]

my posts in this thread are getting flagged for speculating on the types of replys Benedict would receive.

lmfao I love it. I tweeted him a couple weeks ago just to ask if he was still alive...had to do a wellness check

The football team was terrible and the men’s basketball program is a tire fire.

If I was the AD here, I wouldn’t even own a cell phone.

Uh, I imagine he was going for the Auburn job at the time? No?

He was out of the running in early December and restructured his contract with UConn.

And also answers the OP's question.

No reason for him to tweet when he’s just gonna be inundated with morans commenting “fire ollie”

Problem is, Twitter is rarely, rarely used in an 'intelligent' fashion. It's the most reactionary tool in the game. Nowhere will you find a more consistent and prevalent display of Madness Of the Crowds than on twitter.

Its actually bush league that AD hopefully soon to be ex-AD Bennett did not show for the student scholar recognition at half time yesterday. I was there to cheer on one of the UCONN students that I m writing a letter of recommendation for. Uyi Osunde the principle from Windsor High school and ex UCONN football player was there to cheer his former students at UCONN. Mike Melio was there given high-fives, Susan was there. What is Bennett afraid of?

Um no.

 

[Travelman6]

Um no.

Oh, well I am convinced, not. Social media has been used for massive social change, that is not even up for debate. Are you seriously trying to deny that (and poorly too)? Just look at the Arab Spring for one.

On a smaller scale, say for sports, it is very clear it can also be used for change.

But "no", no it is not changing anything.

Have fun getting left behind though!
