I'm not buying it until it's reported in by a legitimate publication/site. TMZ has no credibility.

Huh? It says "UK subject of NCAA probe," and mentions that an NCAA "investigator" interviewed their source.
Article says "aggresive look". I thought an "investigation" required a letter and stuff sent to the University which could be asked for by the media.

You do realize that UK has no obligation to release that info publicly, right? Remember us and RC and the NCAA letter? And regardless of the details, it seems to pretty much be a fact that the NCAA investigators are actively digging into it. IF no letter, it's only a matter of time.

Maybe, but TMZ broke the John Edwards' mistress and baby scandal, when Edwards was firmly denying it, and no other media were reporting it.
Plus, this has been talked about privately for months, the fact that NCAA investigators were snooping around the UK program and asking questions in B'Ham, NC and other places, so it certainly seems to have the potential to be right.

Yes, but I thought since there was a "rumor" of an investigation back in May, that the Lexington newspaper filed one of those public information things and the University said there was no investigation letter.

TMZ may report about a bunch of garbage but they get alot of things first and alot of things right. That is mainly because they don't have any problems with paying sources a little cash.

Actually the National Enquirer broke the Edwards story. I don't know if tmz and N.E. are owned by the same folks though.

Not sure UK has to disclose that. And it is also possible that they are investigating prior to notifying UK. Based on what I've heard privately, I'm pretty well convinced the NCAA investigators have been around asking questions about this all over the place, for months.

I think once the letter is sent to the university, the 'investigation' is essentially over. Once the letter is received is the time for the university to defend itself.

Okay, my bad. Not sure of ownership, either, but I do recall some fairly major story they were out front with. I don't trust any of them with run-of-the mill celebrity stories, but this type of subject is completely different. Celebrities are public figures. University libel is a whole different cat.
And all they are really saying is they interviewed someone who was interviewed by NCAA investigators about UK. That's all they really have to prove, for now.

Money does work in these type cases, bringing down Cal would
be a TMZ benchmark.

you are kidding right?
the ONLY news media left out there that is willing to actually do investigations that REALLY probe into stuff are rags like TMZ, NEQ, etc.
just ask Tiger Woods, or John Edwards, or Al Gore, or Mike vick or Reggie Bush
sure they print their normal entertainment gossip, but if you look close, TMZ has expanded over the last couple of years, getting into mainstream stories in fields such as politics, sports, religion. they are learning from the NEQ that you can do hardhitting stuff that the mainstream will ignore.
they are PAYING MONEY for stories and they answer no nobody. rupert murdoch can't call up and kill a story. Disney can't call up and squash something like they can at ESPN.
TMZ is looking to get more into the "gotcha" stuff, and i would not want to be in their sights.

The NY Times has supposedly been after this story a while now, too. They've already had at least one story on it, I think.

and triple, you know the deal... NYT gets a hot lead, they work the story and work it, and review it with editors and bosses and agonize over it and discuss it behind closed doors and wrangle over legal impacts, and on and on...and they stall.
ESPN has writer get leads and they look into stuff but then managemement and legal gets involved and will it affect parent company ABC or Disney or will it hurt a marquee team highlighted on ESPN, and blah blah blah. so the story sits
TMZ? RUN THAT BABY!!!!
