Message: [QUOTE="SCGamecock, post: 2271202, member: 6132"] I actually live and work in Bristol. Twice a month, outside of my normal job, I give campus tours to family and friends that have placed reservations through the formal process. Those tours are company approved. Before ESPN had tour guides, there wasn't an official process to take a tour.. people simply called, asked nicely, and employees gave unofficial tours. Those tours weren't company approved. Even back then, employees weren't supposed to give tours but they still did it. In fact, it was frowned upon.. but it was seldomly enforced. What happens when you don't enforce a rule.... people keep breaking it. The rule has always been that tours aren't allowed for the general public.... BUT again, that rule wasn't always enforced. It took several minor security issues along with the campus becoming a tourist attraction for that rule to become enforced, and because of those issues the company created a formal process to take a tour.. and today tours are only limited to friends/family of employees, civic groups, and VIPs. I'm not even talking about the Maya Moore incident.... that's neither here nor there. I don't know enough about that incident to speak on it. My original post was in response to somebody posting that ESPN tours are open to the public... they aren't now.. and even when they happened in the past they weren't supposed to happen then either. That's my entire point. As we know, there are always exceptions to rules.. [/QUOTE]
