The Wiz of Odds goes after bowl expense reports

The impact of this story is a cumulative one. It's ALL the reports showing the pattern of big losses that's important. And that's something the regular college beat reporter can't really do. Covering one's own team's bowl trip like Armageddon and getting the financial facts out is a valuable story that ought to be done. But as he noted, it doesn't have as much impact, because it's just one school.

 

All that, and the fact that the team I cover has the nerve to keep expenses in check for its bowl trips. Who do they think they are being all fiscally responsible?

 

Good points, Smash. In other words, an indictment more of bare bones newsrooms than single reporters already worked to the bone.
