NCAA Bans on-field hashtags

Submitted by Fort Wayne Blue on

so I guess this is the Dave Brandon Rule?!?!?

"...it was revealed Wednesday that the NCAA has ruled that hashtags—like #NCAA—would be banned from the field of play because it can be used as advertising.

The only permissible markings are NCAA, conference and team/universities logos, the name of a commercial sponsor with naming rights and for a postseason game, the name/commercial logo of the title sponsor associated with the name of the postseason game."

Well, if you aren't going to clean up recruiting, player treatment, drug abuse, or academic violations, you might as well focus on painting lines on grass.  Thanks NCAA!
