Copyright infringement stuff. Like playing “old town road” during the spring practice hype video. Probably have to have a license for it.

Most major twitter accounts these days are verging on the edge of suspension. There’s a sub-industry of lawyers that go around and take payments for their clients to rescind their copyright violations.
Still seems like a pretty big frickup. I believe there’s a number of other similar violations there if they’re finally suspended.

Why Auburn football's Twitter account is suspended
quote:
Auburn is among several Power 5 football programs to have its Twitter account suspended this week for breaking the social media network's terms of service.
The Tigers' account, with nearly 350,000 followers, was suspended Monday. The reasoning? Those ever-popular hype videos utilizing music from popular artists of the day.
An Auburn spokesperson confirmed there were a "few prior posts that contained copyrighted music." Auburn is working to clear up the issue so that it may resume tweeting to fans on the popular social media platform.
quote:
Auburn has a team of employees developing content for its social media platforms on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and Facebook, but it's believed only the football program's Twitter account has ever been frozen due to a copyright claim.

Yet Barstool's accounts are still there. As well as all the other content stealers, I mean aggregators. Wonder who's been filing the DMCA requests. Funny how professional content stealers and overall bad people have been able to eek by severe punishment while making millions, but franchises and universities were taken down because of videos hyping their own products.
