Head Spirit Coach and Spirit Coordinator Todd Sharp confirmed the tweets WHAS11 sent him to belong to Baker, here is the statement he released:

“As the Head Spirit Coach and Spirit Coordinator, I am very troubled and concerned about the exchanges that took place in social media late last evening involving one or more of our student athletes. We have worked very hard to build a successful and incredibly diverse spirit program here at the University. These conversations over the last day are not an accurate representation of our program, our values, or our coaching staff. We are investigating this matter and will take appropriate action upon the completion of such.

For real you have to be a real maniac to have a social media account if you’re in school. Like a legit psychopath with a death wish. I don’t know how you guys do it. Absolutely zero upside and the constant threat that whatever you say is going to get screenshotted and overreacted to by an administrator who suspends or expels your ass. And I know the easy response here is to say “well just don’t say dumb shit.” Hey we’re all human here. Give yourself access to a blank text box with 140 characters and see if you can bite your tongue 100% of the time. Sometimes you just wanna talk shit, it’s only natural. Sometimes you wanna chirp people on election night and tell them to get out of America. Brynn Baker just the latest college casualty of Twitter Fingers.
