Brings up the UAB scandal from the 90s.

What was the point of the article? Goodman didn't write a very concise article and he seems to jump around his point a bit. I've seen eighth graders write a better essay.

He is better than Birdsong, but not by much

Depending on what "INTEGRITY" means to the observer, it may be asked "Has college athletics EVER had integrity to lose?" Nearly all NCAA regulations adopted in the past century have been reactions forced by behaviors and actions taken by college athletic programs or their "booster" minions.

Goodman has a perpetual bad attitude regardless of what he is writing about. It seems to be based on having to work for a third rate (soon to be fourth rate) online publication after having previously worked for real newspapers at an earlier point in his career.

And I'd thought it was because he was a recent graduate of the Torraine Norris School of reporting.

I can't think of a single sports writer on that site that I just have to read their stuff anymore.

Pretty much the case across the board on that site.

Archibald has some decent stuff at times.

Since, Irvine, Drew, and Scarbo have left there is no one worth reading. It's a dumpster fire.

You're not including Nick Birdsong on that list?

No. Not including Bird Brain.

Integrity might also include not hindering investigations at the place you are coaching basketball.

I have yet to spot him sleeping in his car while "reporting" on a practice. Terrible Torraine is a hard standard to measure up (down?) to.
