I keep waiting for some actual "insider info" on the website I started 6 years ago. Instead you write personal rants aimed at a few on this site.........something Rivals does not approve of.

Newsflash, how about you do what the site was created for. Report on recruiting.

Why is it that a few people bird dogging Twitter, have commits listed PUBLISHED HERE a week before Rivals.........our "official recruiting site." We're in the peak of recruiting season, yet no analysis of recruits or personal interviews. If Fleck won't give you their phone numbers the Rivals database is full of them.

I get you like the parking pass, press box seat, and the free food, but doesn't WMU and your subscribers deserve something in return? Crap like the article I linked is not what Rivals or your readers have in mind when it comes to content.

The last publisher was just getting the hang of it when he gave it up. Persky and his crew took it seriously and did a great job. Why not give up the site, and let a hungry young journalism student take it over.

We had fun with it. But as you know it's a burnout when you are working enough to make the site worthwhile and the pay is essentially nonexistent. When it was no longer fun we stopped.

This is the problem with any mid major site. If I still lived in the area I probably wouldn't have given it up, but I know the guys I was working with were getting tired of working for free (can't blame em) and I'm sure the quality would have gone down steadily.

I just read through that article again.. ugh.

What a piece of trash. Not to mention the lack of grammar.

Now, I wonder why some animals eat their young.

I gave up on them last year. Lack of fresh news not to mention any type of relevant content. Why pay for something that is utterly useless.

Who knew it still existed?

Is the writer of the article someone on this bored?

It is a burnout especially when you have a regular job.

The current occupant has never put forth any real effort to provide recruiting content. It's clearly about the perks.

That has to be one of the worst articles of all time.

Poorly constructed yes, but sans the cheerleader skirt and pom pom's was a refreshing change.

BroncoBlitz apparently got a makeover. Looks nice. Now they just need someone to keep up with (relevant) content.

Considering we have no newspaper he might be the only guy eating at the press box buffet.

They might as well sell those press row seats at the basketball games.
