This was in today's Inforum, I think it's a dumb rule. Let's grow the brand by limiting the media that doesn't have broadcast rights. Marvelous.
"We're just trying to protect our rights holders and protect ourselves," said Jeremy Jorgenson, NDSU's director of sales and broadcasting. "We've grown so much that we need to protect our brand."
With the new guidelines, media outlets without NDSU broadcast rights agreements:
• Won't be allowed to show extended game highlights on special TV programs.
• Won't be allowed to broadcast or stream online live, regularly scheduled press conferences.
• Won't be allowed to host radio shows, pregame or postgame coverage from NDSU facilities or grounds, including the Fargodome and its parking lot, on game days.
• Won't be allowed to do live play-by-play blogging of games.
• Won't be allowed to do one-on-one interviews with the head football or basketball coaches on radio, TV or internet in season without the written consent of NDSU. Media outlets must request all interviews with these coaches and all players 24 hours in advance.
