NCAA Final Four media honcho getting tough

That settles that.

 

I don't get why anyone is arguing in this guy's favor. I'm with the NCAA on this one, as I would be with any entity that makes such a rule about their credentials. Break the rule, you pay the price. End of story.

Most of you guys sound like a gaggle of titty babies, honking your beaks as you fly over.

 

Most of what guys? Seems most here believe, as I do, that this is deserved and the reporter was being childish.

 

Maybe they read it and didn't understand what a "bearer" is. One of them complicated legal words they just don't use on social media, ya know.

 

What the reporter did was dumb. A flak taking a victory lap on Twitter over scolding someone and taking their big, bad credential away may not be as dumb, but it's kinda toolish.

 

The NCAA dude never mentioned a name. Its possible he just made the whole thing up to preempt the act.

 

You have to be a "personality" on social media to build your brand. Or at least that's what others on here have told me...

 

I took his Tweet as being more educational than anything else, advising people not to do it. Could easily have been fabricated.

If this did happen, the pass-holder who couldn't abide by the rules for being credentialed is the only one in the wrong, not the "media honcho"

 

Which makes him look even dumber.

 

Yeah, yeah. Dumb rule. Dumb price. We all know it. A little grace never hurts.

 

What's dumber is an SID acting "tough" in his reply using his official Twitter account.



You have an assistant commissioner for the MAC being a kiss-ass.



Then you have lame photographers.

 

The Tweet from the honcho could've been worded differently but it makes sense to post some kind of reminder or addendum. These are relatively new rules, I believe. And they're probably in tiny print on the back and lets face it, who reads all that? I've had a few credentials lately that are blank on the back and there's a thing that says "subject to all rules available on Web site" ... Who's going to bother going there rather than assuming its the standard stuff?

Not that ignorance of the rule is a get out of jail free card, just that it makes sense for the NCAA to point this out.

And its not always narcissism that leads to posting these things. Six years ago I had a credential from an event that had my mug on it....for a while a photo of that cred was my Twitter avi....it had a professional looking picture of me and had sports, easy way to sum up what my account is for. I wouldn't do it now and I wouldn't do it if I knew the league frowned on it, but I didn't think anything of it at the time and I don't think it was egotistical or wrong.
