Interesting if you're a UA fan, but also emblematic of how the sports department (of just about any news org) is run like the entertainment/celebrity section instead of news:
Quote:
Several obstacles must be cleared before Ray could play football at UA. First, he would need a scholarship offer, and as of Monday he had yet to reach the UA coaching staff to inform them of his wishes.
You'd think we'd apply the same standard as when someone who says they're going to sue doesn't get one bit of ink until they file. Anyone want to lay odds that this guy doesn't even enroll?
Edited to add: In other words, everything that even approached "newsworthy" actually was in that headline.
