In his latest Plati-‘Tudes, associate AD David Plati has his usual fun, informs all that golfer Steve Jones has turned to teaching, but the bulk of the column centers around a poll conducted about Division I conference realignment.

Junta, get ready. Sacky, you get first crack at Plati.I’m not adverse to dialogue with fan sites; we credential two now because they’ve adhered to our policy of no anonymous postings. We are looking at relaxing that a bit, since all newspapers are now doing it, and frankly, some of the fan sites do a much better job than the newspapers or TV station websites in pulling down false rumors, insults and racist comments. The only thing we likely won’t bend on is credentialing someone who will write under an anonymous or assumed name. As far as fans tweeting or blogging, several do it from the stands now, some in the media do it, but unless it violates our contract with our broadcasting partners, it doesn’t bother me. What do I care if Joe Fan is tweeting his buddies? It might make them turn the game on, or make them rush out to the stadium/arena for the second half. Face it, if more people are paying attention to blogs and tweets from others than we originate ourselves, especially when we have the instant statistical abilities, then all that means is that we’re doing a rotten job.
The thing is, anybody who really wants to know who any of us are can find out pretty easily. It's not like we are hiding. This stuff with "anonymous" posters is absurd. Hell, they have my name on the season tickets. They know EXACTLY who I am.

I wonder if the sites that they have credentialed are season ticket holders.
