08:26 AM ET 08.21 | Thanks to a social media monitoring system used by both schools, student athletes at Louisville and Kentucky are under watch. The software emails alerts to coaches whenever athletes use a word that could embarrass the student, the university or tarnish their images. ... [U of L sports using the] service are golf, softball, baseball, soccer, swimming and diving, rowing, women's tennis, track, and women's basketball, said Kenny Klein, senior associate athletic director. Men's basketball and football do not use the service, he said. The decision is left up to each sport's head coach and efforts to reach Rick Pitino and Charlie Strong were not successful. All of UK's student athletes ... are required to use the Centrix Social service.
