Around the 'Shoe

But is it on ESPN's web site? Not that I could find but they do have a story dated yesterday (6/18/12) that details what Meyer's contractually obligated to do if an NCAA rules violation occurs under his watch. Yeah, let's get that out new byte there but skip the news that the Supreme Court rejected ESPN worse than if it was a fifth-grade rec league player driving the lane on Anthony Davis!

I love ESPIN's "logic" as quoted in an Ozone article:

“ESPN argues that FERPA does not prohibit the disclosure of the requested records by educational agencies and institutions like Ohio State,” the Court said Tuesday. “It merely penalizes those educational agencies and institutions that have a policy or practice of permitting the release of those records without parental consent by withholding federal funding.”

With that logic, you could say the law doesn't prohibit you from killing. It merely penalizes you. lmao. Or in ESPIN's case, journalism ethics don't prohibit you from being biased and slanderous. Actually, they don't even get penalized for it. sad.

With all the self imposed penalties and extra steps that TOSU are taking they are essentially putting the NCAA on notice. The expectation is there that every school will have to be as stiff if not more in the future. Good for ESPN running the article. That way it reaches a broader group of people and they'll remember this when the next program gets caught.

so--is it over? or can espn change their request to not be "overbroad" and get what they want??
