Agreed, Jared, and I started to say this in the first post and will add - in the distant past, we had students who abused the media pass privilege and it was frustrating. They would have access to some great shots and have the media pass but the camera would be dangling around their neck. At the end of a competition, there would be no photos. We improved in that area as far as making sure the people who volunteer to use the media pass - understand its one and only purpose.
I can understand that everyone wants access to the field(s) and to be around so many cool people and wonderful teams but - if they don't serve a purpose or have a valid reason for being near the field, they should not be there. This stance does not include VIPs. It must be thrilling for them to see everything close up and they serve a very important purpose.
Well, the true VIPs do.
