Hashtags on college football fields? To quote Jeremy Irons in his absolutely moronic opinion about gay marriage:
But if the NCAA really has nothing better to do than get rid of them, stories about hashtags on fields it is. That’s why I put one right there in the title.
Seriously, what about all the messes to clean up in college football? What about fixing real problems? Nope the college football higher-ups are more interested in abolishing Twitter hashtags.
I guess that’s a little too “new media” or “social media” for them.
The NCAA Football Rules Committee did not ban hashtags. They clarified hashtags may not be used on the college football playing field. Yet a Twitter hashtag on an actual game used basketball is fine. Not the college basketball court, but the actual basketball used in play? #DoubleStandard #Doesn’tMakeSense #IDon’tGetIt
That’s Dave Sobolewski of Northwestern with hashtags b-ball before Northwestern got pounded by the Badgers on social media night.
Pretty sure either Mississippi State or Arkansas, I think Miss St #IDontCare enough to #LookItup had hashtags on the field first. Michigan was second. I do know the Wolverines were #2 with for certain. Wow the SEC beating the Big Ten in something college football related? Yeah, uhm that doesn’t happen all the time.
