Now that the Southeastern Conference has revised its social media policy for ticketholders, something about the quote of SEC Associate Comissioner Charles Bloom struck me as ironic. Let me know if you see it too...
"We have such a great atmosphere and great excitement at our stadiums that we want people to convey those thoughts and images to people around the world, we want people to twitter I’m sitting at this LSU-Florida game and I can’t believe how great it is. Pictures can accommodate that. The prohibitions on the policy deal with 2 things, one is the resale of photographs, you can post them but we don’t want you to resell them, the second thing is we don’t want game footage on the web."
From the policy:
"In the event that the name or likeness of Bearer (of the ticket) is included in any broadcast, telecast, photograph, film, video or other media of the sports event for which this Ticket provides admission, such individual grants the Southeastern Conference the non-exclusive, transferable, perpetual right and license to use (and to sub-license the use of) such name and likeness in any media worldwide whether now known or hereafter devised."
Oh I get it, just like for the players...It all makes since now.

You nailed it.
We all know the players' reward is a quality education.
If they don't turn pro.
If they don't get arrested.
If their coach doesn't break recruiting rules.
Too much $$$ changing hands for it ever to be fair.
