Rich Rodriguez bans West Virginia football players from TikTok dancing (West Virginia Football TikTok)

If you downloaded TikTok to watch West Virginia football players dance, I have some bad news for you.

As of this moment forward, all Mountaineer football players are henceforth banned from dancing on the popular social video app.

"They're going to be on it, so I'm not banning them from it," Rodriguez told the Associated Press. "I'm just banning them from dancing on it. It's like, look, we try to have a hard edge or whatever, and you're in there in your tights dancing on TikTok, ain't quite the image of our program that I want."

It's unclear if a certain incident at WVU or his former school Jacksonville State led the 61-year-old to adopt his stance, but Rodriguez said his players can TikTok dance, along with any manner of other activities, when they are no longer his players.

"I'm allowed to do that. I can have rules," he said. "Twenty years from now, if they want to be sitting in their pajamas in the basement eating Cheetos and watching TikTok or whatever the hell, they can go at it, smoking cannabis, whatever. Knock yourself out.

"I hope our focus can be on winning football games. How about let's win the football game and not worry about winning the TikTok?"
