Tweet or Twits

What will the NCAA do now that Twitter has come to town? So much for the vaunted blogger rules that the national college association went to the mat to defend last spring. Tonight -- as has been the case all tournament -- Rebecca Lobo is blowing those x-number of posts per half business out of the water.

The same for the SEC, where citizens microblogged each of the championships this spring. The one I can speak directly to having watched it happen was the SEC gymnastics meet.

Or does it not count because those updates are coming 140 characters at a time.

Maybe the excuse is ESPN owns the TV rights and can have its people violate the blogging policy. I suspect Rebecca is the most publicized Tweeter from St. Louis tonight.

I'll go back to my own point from convention last summer with the NCAA folks -- these guidelines weren't functional, and now thanks to the increasing pressure of techonology, are not enforceable.
