College Athletes continued

Eager to know what others thought about the misuse of social networks by college athletes, I did a little searching. After reading a number of articles I stumbled upon this blog entry that struck my eye. The line that stood out to me the most was, "College athletes should be the ones who are most careful because of who they are and who they could become in the future". While I agree that athletes are more commonly recognized on-campus and in the media, I do not believe "regular students" should be allowed to get away with similar behavior. Yes, athletes do have certain standards they must uphold because of who they are, but so do non-athletes. These students too must uphold the honor code and other rules set forth by their universities. Would it be fair to say that the use of Facebook, MySpace, & WebShots should be monitored for all college students regardless?
