Very well could and the coaches know that, its happened before. This is for the fans, our fans want open practice, the coaches do not really like the idea but they are doing it for the fans. They just don't want the fans to abuse the privilege of watching open practice. Practice reports are great and they have no problems with them for the most part, its the video that irked them, they don't want someone to sit there and record practice, common sense.
If this is really a concern, then I don't understand why practices are open. I'm pretty sure U[sic]GA has it in their athletic budget to have someone drive into Atlanta and watch the practices as a "fan" every day and get much more valuable information than anything an actual fan would post onto the internet. Same with pretty much every other school we play.
It is against NCAA rules to attend practices/scrimmages of opposing teams unless you have been invited---or tickets are sold to the event.
Shut the F@#$ up and grow a set!
As an out of towner, I can remember I'd be in Atlanta and would love to have watched a spring practice during the O'Leary era, but they were closeed except to a few big contributors.

jacketup you are a doucheAbsolutes are the province of small minds, such as the ones that have run the GTAA for years.
Blogs and photos are free media, which as lawbee points out, might increase the fan base. The GTAA apparently doesn't want fans. For years, they have made ticket purchases difficult, parking difficult, and they discourage publicity. The attitude seems to be "please don't come to our stadium, you'll just make a mess."
They could make rules that would allow bloggers to register and adhere to rules about what can and can't be posted. Instead, the GTAA,once again, bites the hands that feed them.
If someone really wants to take photos of practice for improper reasons, it is not very hard to do so, but they are not smart enough to figure that out. They would rather be the Gestapo to their own fans.
I will be wearing a funny hat and talking in a strange shrill voice. Otherwise nothing to worry about.
Oh, and GO JACKETS!
Its common sense people. Posting videos of practice without the discretion of the coaches or the AA is prohibited. Watch the practice and have fun. Be happy you are even allowed out there right now.
I understand what is being asked but if everything needs to be so hush hush then why are the practices not closed. If I was another team wanting to know what was going on at GT's spring practice I would send someone to watch it in person and not trust just what is posted on a board. JMO
The hive has always turned me off because that post like others comes off as elitist and demeaning.
..... I love GT, but we have way too many Yetmans.
