Sportswriter Has His Cat Mug Confiscated By NCAA
The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Gay chose to challenge the NCAA’s rules against non-regulation drink containers during Sunday’s Elite 8 games. By rule, you can only have a drink in the stadium if it’s in a certain NCAA-labeled paper cup. Players have had to get rid of water bottles (even in closed practices), and sportswriters have learned they even have to comply to this rule. Which is why Jason Gay chose to walk in with a cat mug, and…well, we’ll let his tweets tell the story….
NCAA has very strict rules for NCAA-only cups at March Madness. I have brought my cat mug. Stay tuned. pic.twitter.com/jEi3Q0e6ry
