I found it interesting that on the same day that the Wall Street Journal runs an interview with Roger Goodell where he talks about simulcasting games on the web while they are being broadcast on TV that the NCAA handed out restrictive blogging guidelines.

James W. Conradt is the manager of UT’s computing […]

So yesterday a Cornhusker fan created a fake news story using The Oklahoman’s website that said OU qbs Sam Bradford and Landry Jones were arrested for selling cocaine. I saw the link posted on another site, and it took me all of two seconds to determine it was fake. I was soon joined by all […]
