Back in 2011 Tom Davis told Indiana University basketball recruit Collin Hartman in a Tweet that he should commit to his alma mater, Butler.  Calling it unethical is appropriate, but it's also an NCAA violation, something KSR bloggers learn the first day on the job. I digress; back to Tom Davis' rant. screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-6-15-46-pm screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-6-16-03-pm screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-6-16-10-pm screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-6-16-20-pm screen-shot-2016-10-20-at-6-16-30-pm Usually people with numbers in their handle like "101010" are prone to Twitter rants, but they usually aren't editors for mid-major newspapers.
