lol. barry jackson doesn't work for UM. his job isn't to protect the school if players get in trouble, his job is to report information. instead of blind item innuendo on message boards about possible suspensions, now we actually have real information! this is why professional reporters exist. cribby in particular calling someone a "gossip column writer" is really funny -- you're the no. 1 gossip column writer on this website. (and you're great at it, btw. no complaints on my end.)You got to love our media , there’s nothing positive that comes from this. This stuff doesn’t happen at sec schools. Dudes a gossip column writer and a dirt bag.
as for the idea that "this stuff" -- reporting -- doesn't exist at SEC schools, that's obviously nonsense. google "al.com alabama player arrested", for instance. or here's an article from "gatorsports.com" about a 5 star CB transferring because their staff wouldn't change his dorm room when he didn't want to live w/ a kid who was subsequently charged w/ sexual assault.

in reality, we constantly find out about UM players legal troubles months after the fact. the school keeps a tight lid on this stuff and its media reports the most benign details of the situations.
