Grades

Hey do us all a favor and wait another six years before posting.

Investigators were probably trying to contact June Jones who coincidently hasn't been in office for 2 months

June Jones caught a lucky break with the Basketball story-heat was really turning up for his big "Signing Day (Welcome Home) Appearance

What does SMU have to do with a DISD investigation into grade changing? According to the article:

"Dallas ISD investigators are reviewing a district program that has helped thousands of struggling seniors graduate after a separate investigation found that a top basketball recruit’s grades were improperly changed."

So does Shipp et al believe SMU is influencing thousands of kids' grades?

It would seem that the investigators are WFAA cause the NCAA would notify the university first of an investigation.

In 1982, WFAA ran me down working in a morgue to ask me about SMU recruiting. Claimed they had it ‘on good authority that I was the man in know when it came to SMU recruiting.' I shared what I had received from an SMU alum but they never put me on camera or reported it. WFAA never ever ran down a UT grad, especially in a morgue to ask about UT recruiting.

When reviewing a story, or in this case a fairytale, one has to ask, who is the source? IS the source trusted? And then the next question is the probability of the story being accurate. I speak for nobody but myself, WFAA is not a trusted source and the probability of anything they ‘report’ being even close to accurate is infinitesimally small. But WFAA is great as using prevarications and canards to create the illusion of ‘factual’ reporting.

I am not either of those people or anybody, just a fan who didn't like the tone of the thread.

Scram. If you have to say you are a fan, you're NOT a fan.

Yep...what he said.

Hey I'm gonna wait six years with countless threads that have been far more inflammatory than this one to poke my head out from under my rock to defend Brett Shipp and compare SMU to Jerry Sandusky!

"And just by the way, a lot is coming to light (at least for me) about Shipp's reputation and reporting tactics. I have based my comments and reactions on the actual report & facts themselves, not anything prior"

Vacuumes will get you in trouble everytime.

So is KF's ankle okay? Again, that's why I really came onto the site this morning.

[StallionsModelT]

Ask your buddy Shipp. I'm sure he's right on top of that too.

And immediately underneath a link to the Bill Nichols article written after the UConn win. I'm sick of those b@stards. Just sickening.

"How long are you gonna keep this [deleted] up, Brett? Huh? You know goddamn well there was no such incident.There was an alleged incident which you invented.In the same way that if I assert that you sleep with sheep,than it is alleged that you sleep with sheep." -LB

Screenname's comments mirror Keith whitmire's comments to me on twitter. I am not saying this is Keith (don't think it is) or Brett Shipp. I think this is some scrub at wfaa or the DMN.

Cronies, cronies, cronies.


Why'd you go to Houston, Shipp?

I was being stonewalled! Stonewalled I tell ya!

I am not either of those people or anybody, just a fan who didn't like the tone of the thread. About the "stonewalled" comments, I re-read the article and I think I was reading this wrong:

When investigators contacted SMU basketball officials they took two months to respond.

I took it to mean investigators meaning WFAA investigators or Shipp himself, not the DISD investigators. So, while I would still wager that my rationale on why Shipp approached Larry Brown that way was because he wasn't getting anywhere trying to call, you guys are right in that Shipp did not outright say he had tried to contact them before the Houston bombing incident.

And just by the way, a lot is coming to light (at least for me) about Shipp's reputation and reporting tactics. I have based my comments and reactions on the actual report & facts themselves, not anything prior.

too bad Shipp's "journalism" isn't always based solely on facts...

The standard for journalistic libel is malice.
