UCLAradio.com vs the NCAA

March 19th, 2008

Below is an article written by Tom Hoffarth of the Daily News here in Los Angeles.  It details the struggle that we have been up against this past month trying to procure credentials to cover the NCAA tournament.

Note:  The NCAA never communicated to us (during our month long email correspondence) that we had the option of procuring credentials for non play by play reasons.  Even so, that doesn't change the fact that money has taken the front seat over student experiences in th NCAA.  What a sad, sad day.

Update:  When called out on the quote stating we can receive credentials, the NCAA granted us 2.  Unfortunately, we wont be able to post our calls, but we will have a post game show with comments from coach Howland and the players.  Check back later for more information
