That gets back to my point about there not being anything about it in the stadium policies and procedures. It seems that if the team wants me to have access to the team area to get those kinds of shots, it shouldn't be a problem.

As far as the rules in the NCAA guidelines it is completely understandable, when you're talking about multiple cameras and operators with all the related equipment used by the typical media outlets like Fox Sports, NBC, etc. In my case we're talking about a guy with a little Handycam.
