Oversharing is a rampant problem on social media and Penn State defensive back Bryant Harper learned the consequences of that Monday.
Harper tweeted out that he received a "B" on his first anatomy exam and he was proud of the grade because he didn’t actually study for the test.
Unfortunately for Harper, coach James Franklin is an avid @HarperJR21 follower and decided to chime in on his player’s boasting.
@HarperJR21 you didn't study huh, interesting, guess I need to up your study hall hours! We don't settle for B's!
— James Franklin (@coachjfranklin) January 26, 2015 Franklin was probably kidding (or was he?), but it’s a good lesson to always think about what you tweet even if it seems like a good thing.
Harper quickly blamed the lack of studying on a scheduling issue.
@coachjfranklin forget when the exam was coach minor difficulty in my scheduling!
— Bryant Harper (@HarperJR21) January 26, 2015 He should have hastagged it “#collegeadvisors #amirite.”
Sadly it’s now dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t for Harper. If he says he didn’t study, he gets extra study hall hours. If he says he did study and still got a B, he gets extra study hall hours.
Best just to delete your Twitter account now and hang your head in shame.
