hat'd be like if your boss took surveillance of you at work during a three-year period and edited it down to show all the footage of you jerking around on your computer instead of working.
It would be more like him putting together a tape of all the times I slapped my secretary. Sure, what about those other times in the past 3 years I didn't slap her?

oh....so now he slapped players and punched them?
Last time I checked, grabbing someone and putting them in the correct spot on the court is not punching, but whatever floats your e-dick bruh

A player that was not even good enough to start at the FCS level after he transferred. Thousands of players every year are not good enough to play at the FBS level of college football, does ESPN air all of their stories?
it's still a guy who was available and talking when "oversigning" was a big issue. it was just a timing thing for LSU
quote:
And the kid was so scarred that he transferred back to LSU.
after the whole oversigning thing died down when nobody cared anymore nationally. again, timing
quote:
the biggest offender of oversigning in the SEC is the guy a few doors down, but ESPN doesn't want to smear this guy's name. Not even when a kid shows up to high school in his Alabama hat ready to sign with the Tide until he gets a call that morning, "Um, not so fast."
i agree, but they didn't have the same sort of access of former players, so what was ESPN going to do? plus the nation doesn't care if Bama does it. ESPN serves the public. they are fine with LSU being shite on but they don't care about Bama doing bad stuff right now

I'm more interested to see how this story leads to more former managers/trainers to find some "abusive" tapes
I bet a lot of coaches cross the line with name calling a little shoving in colleges all over the country...and now they see they can get "justice" and/or "revenge" by releasing tapes to news outlets

I guess I'm asking if 30 years ago, people knew this type of activity was happenening at a college basketball practice, would they demand that a coach be fired?
No!

You realize Eric Murdoch is the one who tried to blackmail the school and brought this to ESPN
So why wouldn't they run with this
The coach was pegging players in the face not just the legs
Dudes a psycho and 5 players transfered in 1yr that tells a lot about the guy
If my coach ever did that I would transfer, rat him out, or punch him in the face as well

I've completely given up ESPN other than for live games ever since the Leach debacle.

you are making it way worse than it was...no one was "pegged in the face"

5 players in 1 year? I thought it was 5 players over a 3 year period? And that doesn't really seem to be above the average of most basketball programs
How many players has LSU lost in the last 3 years?
ETA: and I'm not really defending Rice, I think he deserved to get fired if the school chose to..but it should be there choice and not just on one clipped up video and public "outrage"
interviews with players, other staff, etc...

what about this isn't journalism?
This is not about journalism. This is about "owning a story." They lost out on Penn State because they dragged their heels, so they created the Bernie Fine story.
That's the problem. They find stories that nobody has so they can "own" them. The problem is that they come from shady "sources," and that's why nobody else has them.
The Fine story was bullshite from from strange people.
The Mickey Loomis wiretapping story came from a guy who was fired for overcharging the team and used their equipment from personal profit.
This story comes from a disgruntled ex-employee who was bitter after getting fired.
There's a reason why ESPN "owns" these stories. Because any journalistic operation with a shred of integrity would not have run with such stories that come from people with agendas and axes to grind.

This story also shows the power of ESPN in the media landscape...my coworkers who know nothing about sports/never even really watch it are all "up in arms" today about this and asking everyone if they "SAW the VIDEO?!?!"
They all "cant believe a coach would DO THAT!1!!" :OMG:
It's hilarious watching everyone act so "shocked" and "horrified"...give me a break

I used to like when ESPN had the "third party" reporters from Poynter Review do articles on questionable shite they did
Coincidentally, will everything they've fricked up in the past year, ESPN didn't renew the contract with them and Poynter no longer critiques their stuff on ESPN's website

Because players transferring =/= they transferred to "get away from the psyco dbag coach"...it just means they transferred
ESPN (and now, you) is reporting it as a FACT that Rutgers had a flow of players transferring due to this when in reality it seems like a normal rate of attrition for any school and they have nothing that says players transferred to get away from Rice
I'm using LSU as an example because it's an example of attrition on a basketball team that I know of directly
