The NCAA Must Be Confused About Bogs
Have no fear bloggers, the NCAA has “eased” its restrictions on blogging live events. From now on they will allow live updates from events as long as they only include the score and time left in the game.
Wait…what? Does the NCAA actually consider giving just the score and time live blogging? At this weekend’s College World Series are they just expecting live bloggers to do this:
Top 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 0
Top 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 0
Top 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 0
Bottom 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 0
Bottom 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 1
End 1st: UNC 0 Oregon State 1
Wow!!! That’s absolutely thrilling. There’s no need to ever watch or read about the game. The question is why even release a statement saying that live blogging is allowed when for all intensive purposes it still isn’t. It’s like telling somebody they can interview Barry Bonds as long is the interview is done through email and no questions are asked about baseball, his personal life, steroids, current events, or past events. The NCAA should be ashamed of itself.
