    So I guess you flunked out because you qualify for financial aid if you get a "C" average and don't withdraw from all of your classes. I'm only asking because you have no clue as to what copyright is and I'm thinking you haven't made it through a journalism class. A media law class would definitely be the first class to take when you get your freebie appeal back into school
     
  7. No my last semester I had a 3.79 thanks for the self esteem boost though

    You're definitely shitting me on that one if you are really majoring in journalism. Is IU some code word for a beauty school in Indiana so you can pass yourself off as going to a university?

    yeah me too. I thought there would be pictures of hounds and all that. Very impressive, ladies and gents.

    EDIT: Wait? Hark? What's that I hear? Never mind. ;D

    Yeah. Don't.

    What are you trying to accomplish with your Web site? If people already have access to the Internet, they can find ESPN, Yahoo!, CBS Sports, MLB.com, NFL.com, NBA.com, NHL.com, etc. -- all of which produce, not only their own press releases, but also game and feature stories -- too. What use will they have for your site?

    I'm not going to speak for the rest of these idiots, but I get most of my sports news online from Yahoo! Sports, along with various papers. The last thing I want -- Internet-speaking -- is another site to further complicate or throw a wrench in my habits.

    My guess is very few professional sports franchises are going to take the time and effort -- no matter how little of each it'd be; and it wouldn't take more than a few seconds -- to do anything extra for someone who doesn't work for a credible organization.

    Now I'm confused. I also know there's no sports journalism major at IU.

    Are 'net journalism' and 'citizen journalism' the same?

    I fears they may bee.

    Slappy, please release them. Someone release them. They're barking pretty loudly.
