SURE, we’ve seen players and coaches being ejected from the game in different sports, but a blogger?
It’s true. Check out this story that came out in the Los Angeles Times.
Excerpt:
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A reporter was ejected from an NCAA baseball tournament game for submitting live Internet updates during play.
Brian Bennett, a writer for The (Louisville, Ky.) Courier-Journal, was approached Sunday by an NCAA representative in the bottom of the fifth inning and told that blogging from an NCAA championship event is against NCAA policies.
Bennett had done live blogging during Louisville’s super regional games against Oklahoma State in the previous two games of the three-game series. The representative revoked Bennett’s credential Sunday and asked him to leave the game.
