Here’s a sampling of some of the tweets published:

As an IUBB player you're held to a higher standard. You can't be a normal college kid but you get the privilege of wearing the candy stripes

Playing at IU is a privilege! The culture was built on hard work, accountability & understanding what it means to wear INDIANA on the front!
