College football banned its fans from using technology at games. They have big contracts with ESPN who was afraid that instant tweeting, youtube videos and facebook pictures would keep others from watching the games on tv. Fans got mad, so they took it all back. Now only live streaming is banned. (Like watching some random person's hand held video, complete with all the background conversations would be preferrable to professional tv...)
Are you a fan of college football? Would you stop watching them on TV in preference of fan-based feedback?

I'm not a huge college football fan, but I watch a considerable amount. And there is no way I would watch it on a hand held camera rather than TV. I don't see how it makes any difference if a fan tapes it their self or not. Majority of Americans would much rather watch it in HD with their big screen TVs anyways. Someone who decides to record the game would probably not catch those great play or the highlights of the games. College football makes very little sense, in my mind, as to banning technology from the games.
I agree but i can see where ESPN is coming from, They want to make a lot of money and there losing some from hand helds.
