Apparently doesn't exist. Not one story in any "major" news outlet about the purge on Saturday and no opinion articles with any sourcing.
The story was broken by 24/7 sports. Pitiful.
Apparently MU has NO Sports Info. Director who can or does write articles on MU sports and released them to the Associated Press where they can be used by AP papers Statewide. This is, apparently, what is done re: WVU sports. Writer in Northern WV, Hertzel, believe from Clarksburg, write extensively on WVU FB and BB, and his stuff is found heavily in H-D media papers like Charleston, etc. Same goes for a writer, Kinder, who writes for an independent outfit, Blue-Gold News, and whose articles are also heavily shown in the Gazette and others.
Not sure that the AP even has a writer who covers the Huntington-Charleston markets but if so, he or she evidently puts out little on MU sports (and maybe he or she get LITTLE or NOTHING from the MU Athletic Department TO PUT OUT on the wire service to other State papers).
One example of this is the Bluefield paper which is found in several Southern WV counties. They contain NOTHING on MU sports on a regular basis, and certainly don't have personnel to cover MU sports events personally. But they have regular articles, by the above sources, on WVU sports. And since they circulate in several Virginia counties they cover some Virginia college sports, including JAMES MADISON. Articles on JMU sports always are annotated as an AP article!!
Really be interesting to see just WTF really goes on in the MU Athletic Department when it comes to its system, IF ANY, on getting out info on MU sports to the Media, other than that locally in the Huntington-Charleston area!!
