Net Camera not allowed for non broadcast reasons.

[oldman]

Here is the interp from the most recent NCAA rules interpretation bulletin, Oct 21 2014:

The referees are working a non-media match and notice a camera attached to the top of the net. When asked, the home team coach informs the referees that the camera is placed there to help with block training. The referees ask event management to remove the camera.
Ruling: The referees’ decision is correct. Teams are not allowed to place cameras in the playing area or on the equipment.

So teams that have media games can review footage and get better but teams without media games don't dare put a small camera on the net. It could interfere with play!!!!

Would they have offered to share the video with the visiting team?

[oldman]

We do. We make it part of our film exchange

Seems like it should be fine, then. Did the other team complain, or was it just a ref who didn't like it there?

So the home team just has to tell the ref that the match IS being webcast.

Simple enough.

I don't think they are going to check for a live stream....

But what if the home team isn't willing to share the video with the visiting team? Or what if they claim they will share it, then when it comes time to upload, only the endline view gets put online?

Referees don't need to be stuck in the middle of gentlemen's agreements between coaches about which rules/interpretations will or won't be enforced for the match. If one of the situations above occurs, and the visiting team complains, it's the referee who will get reprimanded.

I think it's a fair assumption that teams who have broadcast games will have an advantage - in exposure to recruits, in alumni relations/fan outreach, and yes, in the number of camera angles from which to choose when breaking down game film. The rich get richer...
