In other words, sports "journalists" are propagandists.
Few, are good, so few. 30 years ago, it wasn’t like this. Sports, news reporters made salaries in line with many other working class people. Not like that now. These people, or a lot of them, make big money. They’ve sold their souls to the devil, and they’ll pay in the end.
 
Why has the media not responded to their lack of reporting on the football program?

Where is Sean Callahan?
Where is Steve Sipple?
Where is Sam Mckewon?
Where is Robin Washut?
Where is Mitch Sherman?

Severe came clean although after the coaching change.

Why are these guys not explaining to us what they knew and did not report? At least Damon Benning made an attempt to clarify his wink wink read between the lines because we can't handle the truth comments. Agree with the answer or not, at least he tried.

This mess will not be cleaned up until everyone comes clean and then reports the truth going forward. Not the TMZ kind of stuff. The real coaching problems like not showing up and not respecting recruits.

What's going on in the basketball program we don't know about?
So how did Benning position not disclosing stuff?

When Riley was here I went after Sam et.al., on Twitter and accused them of journalistic malpractice by pumping the kool-aid.

Reporters making big money? What are you talking about?
 



Why sure. The 2-6 guy here, on the radio, makes $400,000 per year. Lots of reporters, the bigger ones, that make lots of money. When that happens, the truth gets lost oftentimes.
TV anchor? Long-tenured radio host/commentator? That person is an extreme anomaly in the media. Reporters' pay is generally pretty lousy for the hours. The average sports reporter makes like $39k. Most people don't go into journalism for the money. The only people making big bucks are the news commentators and bigtime anchors. Maybe a few reporters at the very top of their field are making six figures, but that's the top 1% and not indicative.
 
They've mostly been saying things like "if you were really paying attention to what we had been saying, it should have been clear" and lamenting "Oh, now I guess we need to report every single rumor--is that what the fans really want?"

No, I don't want every rumor trotted out publicly . . . but seems like more than a few of these things coming out were rather heavily corroborated. So, yes, I do think the media should report on those or follow-through on them. They want to play both sides. Really, I think a ton of it is wanting to protect their "access".
Look at what happened with Sarkisian. Nothing was reported on until he actually showed up to practice drunk and the university has to take action against him. It was only then did all the stories come about going back to his time at Washington.

If you’re talking small time own internet sight reporter, maybe so. If you are talking tv news, radio personalities, long time news media, most of them are making big money. They sell their souls. It’s sad.

We aren’t talking about small fry’s here, we’re t@liking about longtime news/sports people that aren’t reporting the truth.
 



It might be that the truth isn't nearly as juicy as some people are suggesting.
SF had good recruiting classes across multiple years. BTW the cupboard was not bare when he took over. The program struggled with lack of discipline (penalties, turnovers, bad ST, etc) across his entire tenure

His record was 16-31 so you either state he is amongst the worst P5 coaches of all time or suggest there were other issues he created. Your choice?

What do you think Omaha and Lincoln print reporters make? The TV sports people there don’t make anywhere near 400k. I have friends in TV in PHX (11th ranked media market) that don’t make 400k. Newspapers have been cutting staff for years and many are out of business. Too much media fragmentation. Times have changed.
