End of Ragin Cajun Army. NOT!

@Cajun90, the thing is that I am a podcast that covers only UL athletics that is well respected throughout the community. Furthermore, I’m free advertising for the program. I understand all processes that go into being a journalist in this regard. And to point out the space issue, I can’t tell how many people don’t sit in that press box or on press row for our games. Considering I had a pass last year, there is no reason that I don’t have one this year, and that’s the issue here.

Who is ALF?

That’s my question as well after reading this.

It won’t be answered, though.

This is what revoked my credentials.

"Web-based media sponsoring message boards and/or chat rooms that allow posting of anonymous information or rumors will not be issued credentials to Ragin' Cajuns sporting events."

The irony is thick though. The athletic department almost immediately but certainly subsequently started posting officially in various forms on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

All of whom have been proven to "allow posting of anonymous information or rumors."

Oh well, all's well and that's swell, let the fall sports season begin.

Out of curiosity, how does not having a press pass keep you from doing what you do?

I hear you and like I said I'm not oppossed to it. As for why you don't have one this year. I can only assume someone enforced the rules this year when they did not last year.

As the rules are written if they were to make an exception for you they would have to make one for me and everyone else with access to a keyboard.

If I were you I would respectfully request that someone explain why you were denied and then ask if there is any possibility for an exemption.

In the long run if they are going to allow podcast, blogs, vlogs, etc. then they are going to have to document some type of criteria that must be meet so it doesn't become a free for all. You certainly seem to be doing it the right way but trust me someone will abuse the privelage.

Take the example of "influencers".

There are already businesses that are getting fed up with "influencers" who expect businesses to compensate them for everything from merchandise, to food, trips, or services because of their online following. Its one thing when you have a million followers but when you have a couple thousand and are making these demands of a business you have truly lost touch with reality. I've heard one restaurant owner tell his staff that if anyone plays the "influencer" card to throw them out.

Best of luck to you.

That's what I thought...

No offense to you guys, I’m just trying to give this guy an opportunity to fix his stupid ___ decision without publicly outing him. The people that need to know who ALF is, know exactly what I’m talking about.

Do the right thing man. I’ll make sure that you get the positive credit that you so desire after it’s done.

Now I know who you're speaking of...
