I find it funny that when Rosebowl

[messageboardsuperhero]

Brought his UM/NCAA info to the CL, they turned him away and said they did not have the time or staffing to follow up on the story of a major potential NCAA investigation...

But they did have time to write this magnificent, hard-hitting investigative piece on Bo Wallace's hairstylist.

The CL's total lack of coverage on this story has been the most disappointing and frustrating thing to me about this entire mess. There is no damn reason why they could not have broken every bit of news that has come out.

I don't think the CL writers are UM fan boys. And although they are incompetent- I don't think that's why they have totally sat out on doing any independent, investigative journalist work on this story. I think they are just cowards and scared shitless to report anything negative on UM- it's that simple.

Riley Blevins say one reporter did some investigative work.

I'd give my right arm for a paper (or Rosebowl) to interview Blevins.

I've wondered why BSR or one of the paysites havent requested an interview from him. Maybe they have and he turned it down.

It's generally not a good idea to publicly badmouth your former employer. Riley appears to be doing exactly what I would do in his situation. Pretty much keeping his mouth shut except for a few tweets that aren't specific about anything (at least from what little I've seen).

Is it really badmouthing if he tells the truth? I don't expect him to run over the CL, but if there is a story to be told (especially one that includes him unjustly being forced out), that's not badmouthing. Unless he signed a contract in which he can't discuss the terms of his dismissal....

Regardless it's always best just to take the high road, unless it impedes your career.

He probably wants to keep that experience in the rear view mirror. He may not despise the bears like we do.

 

[patdog]

Makes no difference at all if it's completely true or not. It's going to make you look bad either way. Few people are going to go to the trouble of investigating to find out if it's true or not. All they're going to know is that you're a guy who will take a paycheck from someone and then go around talking bad about them.

Just a guess here

But I would imagine he had to sign a non disclosure to get a severance package. I'm sure it wasn't a ton of money, but considering the situation I would imagine some UM guys helped send him out the door with some cash.

My gut tells me Riley Blevins is getting even.

Generally yes, but I thought I had heard that he didn't even stay in journalism?
