Rich Rodriguez Bans West Virginia Players from TikTok Dancing

West Virginia University's football coach, Rich Rodriguez, has banned his players from posting TikTok dance videos, though he allows the use of the platform otherwise. Rodriguez, returning for a second stint with the Mountaineers, emphasized the importance of maintaining a 'hard edge' and team focus, which he feels is compromised by the individualistic nature of social media activities like dancing on TikTok. This decision aligns with his old-school coaching philosophy, prioritizing team cohesion over individual expression. Rodriguez believes that football should be more about the team than individual pursuits, and he hopes this policy will help the team focus on winning games rather than social media fame. His approach mirrors similar actions by other coaches, such as Nebraska's Matt Rhule, who also restricted TikTok activities to maintain discipline and focus within their teams.
