    Fans as "Media"

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...T2009082401807

    The scene illuminates a growing concern in college basketball. NCAA rules explicitly state that fans of teams cannot be involved in recruiting, but those regulations blur when the fan wears a media credential. Such credentials, which are issued by whatever entity is running a particular event, designate the bearers as media members, giving them access to prospects that even college coaches don't have during the all-important summer evaluation period. College coaches are not permitted to interact with prospects during the period.

    On the DBR homepage, this Wash Post article is referenced, and linked to the forthcoming film, "Big Fan." DBR recommends this film especially to "all adults in the commonwealth of Kentucky."

    This is, wittingly or not, hilarious, for, among sports fans at least, the number of adults in Kentucky is miniscule. I lived there for many years, then emigrated to ACC-land, where at least a noticeable minority of "adults" are adults. In Ky, not so much. Not nearly.
