Ole Miss 247 "Reporter" making up quotes

Surprised we don't see more of this for other crappy schools trying to create content.

Knowing Yancy he probably did get that quote…from a completely different player.

Not the first time he's done shite like this. If this is true, Ole Miss needs to pull his media credentials and 247 needs to fire him.

Has Yancey responded?

He posts here

All this means is that he has a lengthy career with MSNBC or Fox lined up, just gotta pick his poison

Coach Bryant had it right about sportswriters

TIL coach Paul Bear Bryant was once asked to contribute $10 to help pay for a sportswriter's funeral. According to legend, he said, "Here's a twenty, bury two."

I was made aware after the Lane Kiffin press conference that Devin Brown said he had not spoken to anyone about the quote I put about his visit that we put up on the tidbits. I sometimes use a stringer (someone who helps gather quotes) when we report on multiple visits so we can cover as much ground as possible. Devin said he didn't talk to the stringer. In my report it read that I spoke to him instead of classifying that it came from my stringer. I should have clarified that my stringer spoke to him. I apologized and told him we would immediately take down the quote, which we did. I'll never get help again on any visit weekend and will only go by my personal conversations with a kid. I sincerely apologize for this error in judgement to the Ole Miss community, 247Sports and most importantly to Devin Brown himself and his family.
