SEC Media Credential Guidelines and Restrictions
In early August, the Southeastern Conference issued its media credential guidelines and restrictions for newspapers covering college football games and other athletic events.
Last year, the SEC drew heated criticism from The Associated Press, the newspaper industry and press advocacy groups for their restrictions on real-time coverage of scores and usage of game photos in news archives or online photo galleries. Meanwhile, the league and its schools were given free reign to use the newspaper's copyrighted images for any purpose free of charge.
"The SEC and some other big college conferences want to become publishing and broadcasting businesses now," said David Tomlin, The Associated Press' associate general counsel, last year. "They see the pro leagues doing it, and they think it's the way to go. So the strategy is to push independent news coverage into a corner to make room for their own information services and programming. That's what these new rules are about. We don't believe they serve the fans or even the real interests of the schools themselves."
The SEC also seems to forget that its members are taxpayer-supported institutions playing games at campuses and stadiums built with taxpayer dollars.
GPA General Counsel David E. Hudson has analyzed the new set of credential restrictions issued by the league in early August. "They are based largely on what came out in August of last year," Hudson said. "Last year Georgia Southern [University] had something like these restrictions as well but then backed off. We'll have to wait and see if that becomes a problem. Some of our members cover Georgia Tech, and they need to be alert to what the Atlantic Coast Conference might try to do."
Hudson has a written a sample letter that newspapers seeking credentials for covering the University of Georgia may send to Dr. Michael Adams, UGA president, and Erroll Davis, chancellor of the University System of Georgia.
