A recent national story concerning a former Auburn University football players allegations that he received money from the schools coaches and alumni has caused considerable problems for the newspaper breaking the story. The Montgomery Advertiser (Alabama) broke the story and subsequently paid a high price for it. Subscriptions were canceled, personnel harassed and threats made against the paper for the revelation. To update you if you are not familiar with the incident, Eric Ramsey allowed a newspaper reporter to listen to tapes the former football player says he made while accepting money as a scholarship player for Auburn. Newspaper officials say they had drawn fire for taking on a sacred cow, not because the student athlete broke university rules. College sports programs are big business. During the broadcast of the football game between Michigan and Washington, the announcers said the Michigan football program made a $5 million profit and generated $10 million. Ill bet CEU sports officials wish their programs would generate a small fraction of that. But many times, sports programs take control of the coaches as they scrape to put together a winning team. The irate Auburn fans phoned in a bomb threat to the paper, the reporter received threatening phone calls and between 100 and 150 subscription cancellations were received because ofthe release of the allegations. Newspaper officials believe strongly that they are being criticized for being the bearer of bad news. Fans even called for a boycott of the paper with a banner towed behind an airplane flying over the college football stadium. The call for a boycott was successful at the college. Newspaper boys sold 2,386 stadium editions of the paper the Saturday before the story ran. Fewer than 200 were sold during the game after the story ran. Alter the fans failed to disprove Ramseys allegations, they began to attack his credibility. Other former athletes said they had never received money. |
