UPDATE 6/21/07:
In response to the backlash that was spawned by the details mentioned above, the NCAA has released the following statement:
"Coverage of a recent incident involving a reporter having his media credential revoked at an NCAA championship requires clarification on both why this action was taken as well as current NCAA policy. The reporter's credential was revoked because he continued to blog live play-by-play reports from the press box after being repeatedly asked to stop. Any transmission of live play-by-play information by any entity other than a media rights holder is prohibited.
Following this incident, the NCAA issued incorrect information to credentialed media which stated that in-game updates of any type are prohibited. In fact, in-game updates to include score and time remaining in competition are permissible by any media entity whether credentialed or not.
We apologize for any confusion that may have resulted from the incorrect information."

Controversy
In an attempt to answer the question 'Is business blogging worth it?' a recent press release issues a call for case studies on the trend of business blogging and it's overall ROI (return on investment).
The request for business blogging stories was sent out over media wires by The Blog Squad, a duo of 'blogging experts' who host an internet radio show on negotiating the wiles of the blogosohere.
Case studies are being accepted via the Squad's blog and business bloggers with a story to tell are asked to respond to two basic questions:
1. How has blogging benefited your business?
2. What have you learned or how has your business been affected by blogging?
Business bloggers who contribute their stories may be featured on the Squad's site or asked for permission to have their stories published in a possible book on the subject of whether or not business blogging is ultimately worth the effort.

NCAA Ban on Blogging - updated

Controversy
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE BLOGGAPEDIA BLOG 6/18/07:
According to recent news reports the NCAA has banned blogging and is focusing their flexed muscles at one Courier Journal blogger in particular who often resides in the press box at games.
Blogging is included under the first amendment. ....the right to speak freely and not be persecuted for doing so. The NCAA has made their fair share of controversial decisions; note the case of Muhammed Lasege. While it might be in their legal right to disqualify a person for playing for a foreign team professionally, they cannot overrule the constitution.
Imagine reaching the point where bloggers are totally censored from various directions and the real purpose of blogging is changed forever. How un-American is that?
