That's a whole lot of stupid i just read. You realize every function of this app is already used by the players with other programs (skype, facebook, twitter, video on phone)? But now all of a sudden this app has some new scary secret-leaking potential heretofore unseen?

Yes and no. The audience is unlimited and it's live with no delay. Skype is like a phone call basically one to one. Facebook doesn't have live broadcasting and you have to decide to upload something hopefully after careful thought and you have some privacy settings. Twitter is limited to 140 characters and you have to type and hit send again with hopefully some thought. Video on phone has to be sent to someone to receive and watch again usually one to one and isn't live without something like FaceTime which is again one to one mostly.

This is live feeds without filter of person doing video or anyone in the area of the screen.

Enough tech explanation on my part. Not everyone has to agree with me.

Banning might be too much to ask but the coaches better get in front of it with expectations of use or there are gonna be problems.

Yes it does. I've watched lots of pro athletes give "interviews" on this over the last 2 weeks and I guarantee if college kids use it they are going to get in trouble. You have way more potential to screw up on this than in a tweet, if you watch it enough you will see why.
