Yes I would be saying the same thing.  Absolutely.  Didn't post in the UCLA thread, but my opinion on that?   Big.  ing.  Deal.

The reason for that is that I believe that journalists are, generally, scum.  the lowest form of human life.  people that believe that they are serving a high ideal, when in truth they are only looking to make a name for themselves or push a particular agenda.  So a journalist needs to overcome my scepticism over their integrity before I'm going to start calling for action.

In the case of UCLA, its mostly stuff that goes on everywhere, packaged in such a way to try to show a program out of control.  But here's the thing, I've played on winning teams and losing teams.  Winning teams got along well.  losing teams were at each other's throats by the end of the year.  So the author basically uncovered a shocking reality - losing teams don't get along well.  It's not a big deal, but magazines publish  like that to try to sell more issues, and journalists write it to try to advance their careers.

Now I'm supposed to be livid about Syracuse not following internal drug policies...when there is no required drug policy by the NCAA...and Syracuse self-reported the infractions...and the NCAA IS ALREADY ING INVESTIGATING IT!?!?!?!??  You are out of your ing mind.  This is about two schmucks from Yahoo trying to get some attention for themselves, and maybe have a scalp to hang on their wall at the end.  one thing it's not about for Forde and Robinson - the truth.
