@HawkInMizery That article was perfectly balanced. He reported specifically about the dropped charges against Bragg as why no one should assume guilt, cautioned against equating the university investigation with a criminal case, and simply discussed the context of why this period has been hard. I was impressed by the balance shown, as I usually am by the Star. Vahe also printed Self's entire statement, and gave a great description of how he said it, far more than ESPN has when they just quote a phrase out of context, like the "distraction" thing before UK.
A lot of people on the Board were angry about the allegations about Vick and were willing to engage in huge hyperbole about KU's program being out of control. People were bringing up every incident since Self got here. It is only reasonable to expect the major local paper to have an interest about several things happening at once when a major crime is still unresolved. And he is right that unanswered questions leave room for suspicion and the fact that this is unfortunate. In a University privacy case, all our guys' hands are tied.
