this in today's Times Free Press in Chattanooga, TN
This is worse than an SEC Network deal with ESPN.
Bleacher is in effect becoming a public relations firm for ND, while posing as a media outlet.
"This latest one, though, may be the scariest new trend we've seen since, well, only Goodness knows. This is from our friends at Cynopsis media:
Bleacher Report inked a deal with University of Notre Dame football for an exclusive social content partnership throughout the season. The B/R social team will be embedded with the football program in South Bend and travel with the team to road games throughout the season to create custom content for the program's national fan base with access to practice, locker room, game day activities, home and away games, travel, academic classrooms and more via a weekly video feature, Facebook Live streams, shareable social packages and game day Snapchat takeovers.
Oh my. When we have select media outlets paying for premium access — that we all know will be controlled ultimately by the head football coach — well, that is scary on so many levels it's hard to put a specific point on it."
You just can't trust the news anymore.
