(NewsCore) - One of the first orders of business for new Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer was to ban his players from using Twitter.
The move by Meyer, who officially took the reins of the Buckeyes program Tuesday, was confirmed by the final tweets of two Buckeyes players.
"New staff new rules. No more twitter, not a big deal and probably for the better. Love our fans, love this place. Go Bucks #2012," said tight end Reid Fragel.
"Twitter=Done. Me=back for senior year, leading this team, and shocking the world!! #gobucks #12-0," tweeted tight end Jake Stoneburner.
Meyer was recruiting for Ohio State over the past month after being hired in early December, but previous head coach Luke Fickell stayed on through Monday's 24-17 loss to Florida in the Gator Bowl.
Meyer, 47, returns after spending a year away from the sidelines working for ESPN. He boasts a career record of 104â€"23 in stints at Bowling Green, Utah, and Florida, where he won two national championships.
Several other schools, including top football programs like Nebraska, South Carolina, and Boise State, have also banned the use of Twitter by players.
