Blogger Removed From NCAA Game for Blogging

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the in-soviet-america dept.

CNet is reporting that a blogger from the Courier-Journal of Louisville, KY was recently ejected from an NCAA game for live-blogging. "According to the Courier-Journal, staff blogger Brian Bennett was approached by NCAA officials in the fifth inning of a game between the University of Lousville and Oklahoma State, told that blogging 'from an NCAA championship event "is against NCAA policies (and) we're revoking the (press) credential and need to ask you to leave the stadium."'"

    I think you may have just started and ended the entirety of the possible (intelligent) debate on this topic single-handedly in the first post.

    Bravo. My hat is off to you.

    What will happen when technology allows any attendee at any function to transmit information (multimedia, for example) to anywhere s/he wants to?
    I think our business models are in for a tough shakeout. Sidenote: the lawyers will make money either way...

    Does/can the NCAA stop you from blogging about a game, as it happens, based purely on what you see being broadcast on TV? (i.e., from home) Not trying to make a point, just curious.
