I wanted to commend the webmaster for running a great site….

Hopefully, he will actually speak to the media like a responsible and respectable adult would and should do. Time to own up to your mistakes, Charlie, and move on.

This guy is getting paid major money to win, bottom line. His student-athletes do not get paid (though, of course, many of them get athletic scholarships, which is a whole different discussion). Also of concern to me is that he essentially bypassed the media that regularly writes and reports on his team to do a contractually-obligated interview on the Notre Dame radio network. In other words, the guy knows who is buttering his bread at night, but he's unwilling to take the heat off his own student-athletes, something a man of his age, stature and experience should be able to handle himself.

But, I do agree with you on the CEO/trade mag thing. I think many times people get caught up in the big names and forget that a smaller circulation reaching your target audience more directly ultimately means more than reaching Joe over there.

1) I previously worked for five years in collegiate athletics communications, with time spent in the athletics departments at Truman State University and Illinois State University. All were great experiences, and I truly enjoyed the privilege of working with many tremendous athletes and coaches.

2) It turns out Charlie Weis actually did speak to someone members of the media after Saturday's Notre Dame loss … well, sort of. He went on his postgame radio show on the Notre Dame Football Radio Network. If Weis' contract works like 99% of all NCAA Division I coaches' contracts work, then he is contractually obligated to make this appearance.
