Comments on: Social Media Can Change the Rules in Many Places http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/04/9589.html Internet Marketing News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 13:05:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Laura Frizell http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2009/04/9589.html/comment-page-1#comment-72669 Laura Frizell Wed, 29 Apr 2009 20:36:26 +0000 http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/?p=9589#comment-72669 I think it is unrealistic that they made the NC State student delete the facebook group. Social media outlets such as facebook, myspace and twitter are the way of the future. The NCAA, along with the rest of the world is going to have to get used to social media, because it isn't going anywhere. I understand the concern, but I think that groups like the NCAA will run into freedom of speech issues in the future if they continue to regulate social media outlets.

"LSU, for example, receives some $100 million in revenue each year from ticket sales, television rights, concessions, parking, logo sales, which is about five times what the school receives in tuition revenue from all the students that attend the university." And that's just football. Somehow I think that can cover the girls' soccer team. http://www.jimbrownla.com/blog/?p=1611 @David Brenner: Just one example, found in seconds, from Google.

But you do it tastefully. The only way to find a wall in a dark room is to feel your way. You might bump into the wall and get a little hurt, but if you are moving carefully it should not be too bad. People know it's the wild west, and as long as you are genuinely apologetic if you somehow step over somebody else's definition of "tacky" or "spammy" they won't mean you harm back.

Was this researched? My impression is that the few college sports that actually manage to generate any surplus find it used to fund other athletic programs that lose money, like the many Title IX women's sports with tiny followings that are forcibly imposed on almost all colleges and universities by the almighty Federal kleptocracy.

Talk to the lawyers about it. In the middle of trying to sort out the legal implications of ecommerce, BAM! Here comes social media. Like it or not, fan bases are going to get in on the recruiting frenzy and there doesn't seem to be a way to stop it if they are not directly tied to an institution. Is this a case where the home team gets penalized when the fans throw beach balls on the field? (By the way, I'm all for the University of Oregon using any tactic it can to get the best talent. Go Ducks!) It’s not only a wild west for marketers. Talk to the lawyers about it. In the middle of trying to sort out the legal implications of ecommerce, BAM! Here comes social media.

There were huge Facebook groups at the University of Oregon for both Terrell Pryor and Bryce Brown. I can understand the student's desire to get big name recruits at their schools, but the NCAA is right. You're a part of the association and you have to follow their rules. <em>Alex Peerenboom's last blog post..<a href='http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/adp/~3/oyMU0jtJPNE/viral-marketing-good-lesson.html' rel="nofollow">Viral Marketing: A Good Lesson</a></em> This has been done before in football.
