You act like the staff of the newspaper are NYTs employees
No, but that is what they're aspiring to be so I guess we can forgive them for acting like it.
My point is they are not going to fabricate a story at that point in their career. They do want to work for the NYTs at some point

the staff consist of students and some of the management are professionals.
And in 2011, the students hit a breaking point with the professional management and walked out.
That lasted three days and the students were given back control.
The management is loyal to nobody but the business of print media and the students are loyal to nobody but their future careers as journalists. If that means potentially writing a scathing expose of the football program (and, oh, have they tried and failed miserably so many times over the years) then so be it.
But I do not think they would jeopardize their journalist integrity at that point in their career. That comes after they leave College.

And I know what the Peabody Award is about. Just ironic based on the picture you paint of the Journalism School.
What picture have I painted of the Journalism school? I haven't mentioned the school itself at all except in explanation of their relationship with the R&B.
I just do not think the University and the School of C&J would allow their students to be part of a Gossip Sheet. Their reputation is on the bottom line, so if they had doubts they would sponsor their own paper.

If what I read is correct this all occurred about 5-6 months ago. Our players reported the issue. Neither Moorhouse student claimed to know the players and our players couldn't pick them out of a lineup. Could something be up? Sure, but it doesn't seem like our guys would have reported themselves.

Let me tell you a story son. Sit down, make yourself comfortable, pour a glass of lemonade. Wife makes it real nice.
Back in 98, or was it 99, it was before the Great War that began in 2001. I was a Grady student working the summer at the Red and Black, in their old space on Jackson, across from Toppers.
The editor hands me an assignment about the construction going on at Sanford Stadium. Word on the street is they cut down some old oaks, just to bring equipment in.
So I talk to the architect, I talk to a facilities guy, I put a call in to AD Vince Dooley.
Dooley calls me back. I'm at the office.
"Deeprig, call on Line 4. It's Vince Dooley"
So I fix my hair, check my breath, and pick up the phone.
30 minutes later, Dooley has explained to me that 5 big oaks were cut down to get construction equipment to the site, but they planted x-hundred trees around campus to replace them, and have since been awarded by the Arboretum Society of America for all the trees on campus.
So I included all that in the story I submitted to the editor.
Guess which part of the story got left out when it hit the streets.
Guess who never spoke to me again.
frick the Red and Black.
If you are done with your lemonade son, you best go on about your business. We'll be seein' ya.
