Eric Alvarez of WZTV said during a recent broadcast the NCAA would not give the station permission to use highlight clips for their sports segment, so he decided to get "a little creative."

"And, before you ask: Yes, I did make this segment with things I found lying around my desk," Alvarez said.

The clips that played during Alvarez' segment featured a makeshift hoop composed in part by a key chain ring, Lego Batman and Superman and a rubber duck.

    If the NCAA doesn't want to allow news to report their sport, just make up some crap and report it. Fake news is all the rage, go full on satire and make up some 'colorful' stories about the games, report false winners, report Dick Vitale quotes http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1071763-college-basketball-dick-vitales-top-25-quotes-and-sayings [bleacherreport.com] about games that did not even happen. The YouTube coverage and other media response to the 'outrage' will far outweigh and exceed the reach and coverage standard sports coverage would have received.
