The "spokesperson" for the NCAA said that the NCAA wasn't giving press
credentials to Online services because the NCAA has its own online
service and they are "exclusive".  (from one-on-one sports radio
network report)
 
This shows the NCAA at its finest.  I've gone to the NCAA online site
before and left just as quick....because its useless.  Perhaps we
should all visit the NCAA site and offer our opinion to them.

        I read in USA Today (the hotel I was staying at in Denver put
one on our doorstep Friday, so I got to read Jon Barkan's semifinal
coverage) that the NC$$ refused to give press credentials to USA
Today
Online correspondents at the men's and women's hype-ball Final Four
because the NC$$ web site is the official on-line coverage.  Did
anyone from USA Today or USCHO have similar problems in Milwaukee?
 Or
do you all have "real" media affiliations anyway?
