    Media interest in Virginia Tech football and Coach Frank Beamer swelled during Tech’s 11-0 regular season in 1999 and the Hokies’ appearance in the Sugar Bowl national championship game. What Is a Hokie? That’s the most often-asked question in Virginia Tech athletics. The answer leads all the way back to 1896 when Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College changed its name to Virginia Polytechnic Institute. With the change came the necessity for writing a new cheer and a contest for such a purpose was held by the student body. Senior O.M. Stull won first prize for his “Hokie” yell which still is used today. Later, when asked if “Hokie” had any special meaning, Stull explained the word was solely the product of his imagination and was used only as an attention-getter for his yell. It soon became a nickname for all Tech teams and for those people loyal to Tech athletics. The official school colors — Chicago maroon and burnt orange — also were introduced in 1896. They were chosen because they made a “unique combination” not worn elsewhere at the time. Spirit units at Virginia Tech include (clockwise, from top left) the HighTechs dance team; the Hokies’ lovable mascot, the HokieBird; the cheerleading squads; the Marching Virginians band, known as “the Spirit of Tech”; and the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets regimental band, the Highty-Tighties. Tech and Texas A&M are the only two schools in the country with a full-time corps of cadets as part of a larger civilian student body. Media Information The Press Box receive first priority, as well as offerings of a single individual.

  • Sports Leagues' New Social Media Policies
    HULL - formatted 4/19/2011 1:59 PM Sports Leagues’ New Social Media Policies: Enforcement under Copyright Law and State Law Michelle R. Hull* INTRODUCTION In 2009, the National Hockey League (“NHL”), National Football League (“NFL”) and National Basketball Association (“NBA”) became the first major North American sports leagues to announce social media restrictions.1 The major sports leagues have similar social media policies, the broadest of which extends longstanding copyright infringement warnings to social media websites like Facebook and Twitter.2 The more narrow social media restrictions limit only play- by-play uploading by players, personnel and coaches, while the broader restrictions purport to prohibit real-time uploading of play-by-play game approximations by all Internet users.3 The NFL, which has always barred play-by-play descriptions of games in progress, extended that ban to social media platforms, requesting that social media play-by-play game accounts be time delayed and limited in amount, in order to protect the game coverage of accredited licensees.4 The leagues’ request that social media platforms not host game time play-by-play approximations raises questions regarding sports leagues’ enforcement of their intellectual property rights. Given that billions of social media users around the globe are able to upload from virtually any public sporting event or broadcast using mobile devices, the sports leagues’ social media policies face issues of enforceability. Contract and property law supply the legal framework for leagues’ authority to control the uploading capabilities of sports arena attendees.5 Employment law forms the legal * J.D.
