Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 3881266, member: 615"] We're on the football board so i should amend my comments. The basketball program is a handful in terms of news coverage, often times negative (in the eyes of national media). We have navigated Bernie Fine, Jim Boeheim accidentally killing someone, Boeheim himself is a news magnet for the comments he makes, probations. I'm not saying any of these events are self evident of a circus but the school sure seems to make alot of news. To echo what some said, I separate print reporters from Tirico, McDonough. Those guys are positive about the school for sure. it's great. I am not resentful of them doing that and Thamel not doing it. Just different cats. I'd rather them speak highly of the school as an academic institution than carry water for the athletic dept. To me those are different things. If Thamel is helping younger writers that to me is a better example of character than speaking highly of the individual sports programs. [/QUOTE]
