Louisville, the NCAA & the latest blog debate

The University of Louisville, which counts a lot of alums in our area, is one of eight finalists in the College World Series. Their next game is Friday against Rice. The Series now has erupted into the latest controversy in the blogosphere.

A few days ago, Brian Bennett, a writer for Louisville's Courier-Journal, got evicted for daring to blog live from U of L's game against Oklahoma State. The NCAA, which governs major college sports, says it's against the rules for Bennett to work in real time, and Bennett was competing with broadcasters who pay to air the games.

So, what's next? Will the NCAA crack down on the fans who are sending text messages or taking pictures with their camera phones at games? It's obviously a rampant violation.

For a funny take on an absurd situation, check out this column from the C-J. Here's an even-handed overview on the controversy with additional links from USA Today.
