Our issue to discuss this week is how social media has impacted the recruiting of prospective student-athletes to colleges and universities. While social media has provided an additional avenue for coaches and prospective student-athletes to engage in conversation, it has also provided coaches additional insight into a prospective student-athlete’s personality and off-the-field conduct.
Please develop a DB post this week addressing whether it is appropriate for colleges and universities to monitor the social media use of student-athletes they are recruiting. Additionally, please explain how you would handle a situation where your top recruit was behaving in an inappropriate manner on social media.
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.

Global governance is an institutional reality, yet with little firm basis for its continuing existence beyond the contingent interest of sovereign states in cooperating to improve their own power, prosperity, and security. Consistent with realist theory among other possibilities, this proposition assumes global governance [like the UN for one example] is merely a useful device for states to free ride on the benefits of collective action while reserving state ‘sovereignty’ as an ‘opt-out’ card when the burdens of cooperation become too costly.
Given the readings, video presentations, and your own research, answer the following prompts in any order or manner you wish, separately or integrated:
Using at least two examples of state behavior for each proposition, explain the plausible basis for why both propositions can be true. In effect, why can both propositions be plausibly defended (justified) on practical and theoretical grounds?
Using biblical and extra-biblical sources (The Bible, commentaries, teachings, other writings, etc.) to inform your own reasoning, does Christian faith require a specific position on the acceptability of global governance? Or is the answer merely contingent on particular cases, circumstances, or the extent of contractual commitment beyond the state, whether regional or global in nature? Reason carefully and clearly with examples.
