Nick “Lacy” Fosco and Kylie “Sketch” Cox decided to spend roughly $6,000 on tickets, but wanted to share their experience with the world. However, NCAA officials had other plans. The twitch streamers fired up their livestream and thought it would be a good idea to gain followers in the midst of March Madness.
But as many of us know already, the broadcast partners for the NCAA Tournament pay a ton of money to secure the rights and won't allow those in the stands to infringe on any copyrighted content, including the Iowa and Illinois game. Fosco and Cox had a brief exchange with officials, who promptly booted them from the arena after they admitted to not only streaming the game at that current time, but ones previously. To make matters worse, the two internet stars were sitting courtside at the Toyota Center with an unobstructed view.
