Did anyone talk to Stanley? Is this report disputed by anyone? Shouldn't we wait until the beginning of the season to know if this is legit? 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could a Mod change the title from Mi'Carlo to Mi'Cario?.....We can throw in an "allegedly", if needed, as well.

That shouldn't be too difficult. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point on the USF confirmation part ........... but still don't understand why you're so adamantly defending the ******** journalism embodied in that Breaking article ..... or maybe I'm the one that doesn't understand what people expect from journalism these days.

I guess I' more defending the idea that this is some sort of anomaly. We have a player who is knee-deep in competing for the starting QB position and he's currently academically ineligible. I think that counts as fairly big news for the off-season. I also don't think Nathan did anything wrong in reporting it, as any other person covering a college football team would when presented with this sort of information. He confirmed it with 4 sources, including the player himself. I'm equally as baffled in regards to why him reporting it is a thing. There isn't a football program in the country who's writers/bloggers wouldn't publish this kind of story if they came across the information. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't confirm it with the player himself before going with it. If he had, and had his second story as his Breaking one, we wouldn't be having this conversation. I'm not saying the story isn't worthy of reporting, I'm saying if you're going to report on this particular situation, get as many details as you can before invading the privacy of a student athlete. There was absolutely no reason for publishing that after only an hour of investigating, especially without trying to reach out to Kean. It was the pervasive "get it first" mentality, due diligence be damned. Edited July 13, 2018 by Triple B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
