NCAA’s stance on blogs hurts the sports fans

NCAA’s stance on blogs hurts the sports fans- al.com

The NCAA has done such a superior job of improving academic fraud, gambling, recruiting violations, drug use, proper tuition in scholarships and escalating athletic costs that it’s now tackling more serious matters: Blogging.

The public relations fallout from this story is so absurd, only the NCAA could be involved. The NCAA wants more control of its product in what could be a landmark case between the media and sports organizations over how news is reported.

This has been an interesting story to follow. At the College World Series a blogger was asked to leave as he was posting “real-time” information which violates some contracts the NCAA has with various organizations ($$$). Some would argue, was it really real-time? Lots of questions followed. This is causing even more people to take note about the role of Blogs.

I found this particular commentary particularly interesting.
