He's right.  The NCAA will inevitably try to make rules that limit the
information available on the WWW and Internet.  I suggest that the NCAA
will not be able to impose restrictions on third-party use of the Web.
They will look to the member schools to police their own alumni and fans.
 
That effort will be very uneven.  The schools that take an aggressive
stance against their own alumni and fans will upset and frustrate their
most loyal supporters.
