NCAA Puts Severe Limits On Sport Event Blogging

Posted by Zonk on from the because-commentary-isn't-appropriate-for-sporting-events dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You would think that the NCAA would be thrilled to have reporters live blogging events in order to generate more interest and keep passionate fans talking about NCAA sports. Not so. The governing body of the NCAA has released new rules for receiving press credentials and it includes severe limits on live blogging. If you're covering NCAA football, make sure you don't blog more than 3 times in a single quarter. If it's baseball, one post an inning is all you get. If you don't follow the rules expect to get ejected and have your press credentials pulled."

  1. Sunbathing on Interstates by dunc78 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Wow, interesting post. My tax dollars pay for roads don't they? I am always envious of the snakes that get to sunbath in the road, so you know what, I'm gonna start sunbathing in the road!!! Lets see them kick me off of MY property. Furthermore, before NASA thinks about using my space shuttle again, they better come asking for my permission. I'm tired of them galavanting around the galaxy in MY space shuttle. Another thing I must have missed, are you somehow punishing the NCAA by not getting press credentials? Have you ever had press credentials? You make it sound as if the NCAA would give a damn that you didn't get press credentials, but maybe I am just misinterpreting your rambling post.
