Message: [QUOTE="Col. Bleep, post: 5341958, member: 1023"] A really good beat reporter will find a way to get those stories. It's much harder in college...because reporters have to get published or on the air and coaches used to getting their rear ends kissed can make that more difficult. Plus in smaller markets where college sports are big, management is concerned about angering fans. So, it's often just not done. A rather benign example: haven't seen anyone ask Donnie Freeman, "Hey Donnie, what's up with your foot? Do you intend to play any more this season?" Traditional news outlets generally are so thin and so lame now that you can't count on them for much. Seems that covering the "insides" of college teams could make for a nice web business. [/QUOTE]
