Every sports personality knew of the incident ... McMurphy is the only one who ran with it.

McMurphy was a sensationalist though. Yes his story turned out to be true.  Yes it needed to be reported.  But there is legitimate reporting in then there is helping to create the story - he clearly crossed the line - doesn't exonerate anyone involved but it does discredit him.

Yeah, but Leavitt had made a game of ******** on McMurphy for over two years leading up to the story.

Had Leavitt not treated McMurphy so bad this story would have come and gone.

 

You obviously have forgotten the history there and why Leavitt treated him that way.

 

There is a long history, but I remember it starting with the privacy violation.

 

McMurphy did violate school privacy rules to expose team rules violations.  He outed players that were receiving discipline.  Leavitt, following school policy, would not name violations publicly.  McMurphy utilized his player connections to get the violations and published. 

 

You may want to think back to the days of McMurphy trying to derail the program long before Miller's slap stories.

 

Remember  the n-word story?  Remember the NCAA major violation story that was untrue and unfounded?

 

There's a trove of these out there.  He was hack, still is a hack.

Leavitt created the demon that did him in is all I'm saying

[Brad]

And seriously, would any legitimate reporter be basking in the public personal enjoyment of a fallen program?

 

It's personal to him.  To not see that would be willful blindness.

That's wrong.  Leavitt treated him the way he thought best.

 

Where Leavitt and his AD Woolard failed was by allowing it to fester for so long.

This would make an epic movie.  The Wrath of the Weasel-Man

[cmhatter]

it truly incredible that this is still a topic of discussion.

I think we are out of things to talk about honestly.  Bring back the rumors and tweets thread!

The McMurphy groupies tend to conveniently forget the facts in their wanting to get rid of Leavitt ....

I hate the use of "killed the program" b/c it implies that our condition is terminal. We are having a bad couple of years like almost all programs go through.
