Around the League Miami Dolphins to lose $10K for Angry Birds downloads

[Fin Fan in Cali]

“They gave us a long list of things you’re not supposed to do,” Dolphins rookie quarterback Ryan Tannehill said.
Forgetting to bring it to a team meeting will cost you ... $10,000. Downloading Angry Birds will cost you ... $10,000.
Unfortunately for the Dolphins, there is no app yet available that will solve their wide receiver position

The title is deceptive. But I see the point of what theyre doing, but 10k might be a little much

c'mon that would make too much sense. but the reason they didnt was so they didnt have to manually update the plays or something.

Thats now how ipads work. iOS is proprietary software. If a player takes the ipad to his house and connects to their home wifi network and uses his own Apple ID to download Angry Birds, the Dolphins IT department would never know. I think the only way to catch someone would be to manually check the ipad?

If the iPad was deployed correctly, they could have blocked wifi access and blocke any manipulation of the device via IT device policy. Looks like the iPads weren't set up that way.
