Let Them Blog!

Via Instapundit, a reporter was booted from the press box during an NCAA baseball game for live blogging. The College World Series starts on June 15th. Baseball bloggers should live blog something just to piss off the NCAA.

That's an organization that needs to go. Over the years it's grown into a monster. What started out as an organization to improve the rules of sports turned into an intrusive regulatory body. I don't care how many athletic scholarships a university hands out. I don't care if alumni give cars or houses or bags full of money to recruits. If it's so damn important for a school to be good at a sport, let them waste all the money they want putting the best players they can find on the field. I won't send my child to that type of school, but if that's where their priorities lie, why is it anyone's business? Let the NCAA go back to making rules and awarding championships. Let the markets take care of the scholarships and recruiting. The NCAA has way too much power.

I agree.

That way, Harvard, with its 30 billion dollar endowment, could afford to buy the best football team money could buy, and get to the Rose Bowl again for the first time since 1920.

After all, why should Stanford and Duke get all the glory in sports as well as academics?

plus, our boys our gentlemen. you would never find them even in the company of women such as the Duke boys were fraternizing with! our students study when they're not playing sports and attend church regularly and attend to their studies.

as is well know, you can tell a harvard man, but you can't tell him much...
