A Courier-Journal sports reporter had his media credential revoked and was ordered to leave the press box during the NCAA baseball super-regional yesterday because of what the NCAA alleged was a violation of its policies prohibiting live Internet updates from its championship events.

Gene McArtor, a representative of the NCAA baseball committee, approached C-J staffer Brian Bennett at the University of Louisville's Jim Patterson Stadium in the bottom of the fifth inning in the U.of.L-Oklahoma State game. McArtor told him that blogging from an NCAA championship event "is against NCAA policies. We're revoking the credential and need to ask you to leave the stadium."

What rules are reporters breaking? I have been readinf live broadcasts of games for years. When the cincinnati station is out of range, that is the only way to get updates on the game.

Wow, that's tough.

You know all that legal mumbo jumbo during sports games...I always recall it during NFL games (something along the lines of the rights of the whatever are of the NFL and no descriptions of the events can be displayed/written without permission of the league).

Yeah, "any broadcast or other live transmission" of the game is prohibited. Guess that goes for blogging while at the game as well.
