Message: [QUOTE="Penfield, post: 2550609, member: 231"] Sorry. I didn't mean to make it sound like I think the journalists were more to blame than the coaches or administrators. I don't think that is the case at all. As a journalist one of your jobs is to hold people in power accountable, and in general they gave Izzo a pass in 2009 & 2010. The local media may have picked up the story about Appling, Payne, and the accusations (I remember reading something when we were going to play them in the final four), but the national media largely ignored the story. Four years later all we saw were fluff pieces about Payne. [/QUOTE]
