re: Too Much Information

Evans issue was over the day after signing day for most AU fans. It is the fact that a week after it was over, these articles are appearing in the Alabama mainstream press everyday.

Because the thrust of the situation is ongoing. The Evanses are complaining, and, assuming their complaints are founded in reality, certain Auburn fans are contributing to the fact that the situation is ongoing.

And because "a week" is hardly a long time, especially when we're in the off-season in a football-mad state. It'll die down soon enough. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's a basic principle of journalism -- write what gets a reaction from the readership, whether to sell papers or get clicks.
