Good line from the subject:

As Freeze revamped the Ole Miss program, Robertson kept getting tips. One man called from Tupelo to tell him that a friend of his had just been interviewed by the NCAA. The friend had actually been on the phone with an Ole Miss football coach, the tipster claimed, when the investigator pulled up to his house. Robertson knew there were boots on the ground all over the state, but he was hesitant to say anything publicly. Instead, he figured he would farm the story out to those with the institutional power to investigate.

“Absolutely nobody was interested,” he says. “One thing I’ve learned about sports journalists, a lot of them wanna just go to the ballgame, get good seats, and eat free food.”
 
I'll give this a like, if for no other reason than this is my thread. That, and if it means we only have to stomach Hannan once every two years.

Well he's right about at least one of those three things.
 
Wait, wanting to eat free food makes you a sportswriter, not a human?
