For those interested in a professional, educated perspective on Charles Robinson's story and the NCAA investigation, check out Jason Whitlock's podcast on foxsportsradio.com. He interviews Tom Anderson of the National Legal and Policy Center. The interview starts at about the 24:00 minute mark -- it is EASILY the best perspective I have heard on what is wrong with this type of investigative journalism and the NCAA response to Shapiro's claims.

If you do nothing today, spend 15 minutes listening to this piece.

As an aside, there is a nice acknowledgement of Vishnu Parasuraman's work on debunking Robinson's shoddy journalism.

Check it out.

Can you please summarize what they have said? I am deaf so I cannot hear what they are talking about. Thanks in advance.
 
Need a link. Went to his podcast and didnt see anything about Tom Anderson and yahoo. Only thing about Miami is the first one listed which is only 5 mins long.

Only listened to the first few minutes and have to run but - it starts with Whitlock and Anderson feeling vindicated that they called this BS from the get go.
That the NCAA got into bed with Shapiro, a convicted con artist, and got conned - should surprise no one.
They commented on the ambition of Robinson @ Yahoo and NCAA investigators to take down UM Football as having gotten the best of them.
So much so that they lost control of their moral and ethical compasses.
 
Jason Whitlock - Pacers and Miami Investigation Podcast

# - Tom, Jason and Vishnu all called BS when the first yahoo article came out and they took a lot of heat from mainstream sports media about it
# - Nevin ShapZero was a poison tree with poison fruit. Although they never expected it to blow up in NCAA's face like it did
# - ShapZero was saying all the right things for the NCAA and they WANTED to hear it so they bought in to it without thinking of the consequences
# - Charles Robinson and NCAA investigator end goal was to bring down the Miami program which would clean up the sport of football and it was irresponsible and unprofessional
# - Charles Robinson was proclaimed to be the best investigative journalist but he didn't investigate. He doesn't have to stick to the common journalistic standards but rather him and yahoo and their editors play by their own rules which is throw a bunch of sh*t against the wall and see what sticks. If they get something wrong its not their fault but if they get it right, they are glorified
# - True journalist like the New York Times grind every day worried and has to be very careful and accurate because if they are wrong, they lose their jobs, hurt individuals and brings down their publications and liable for lawsuits
# - Hopefully this fallout exposes what Charles really is and what he is about - Tom wishes Charles luck because he hasn't seen any real investigative work come from him yet
# - Reporting the abortion story as fact would get a reporter fired in any other publication besides Yahoo
# - Yahoo reporting is a joke and a scam
# - Reality of the yahoo story from Tom, when Tom read the first paragraph it rubbed him the wrong way. If the source is convict ponzi schemer, they would multiple the corroboration 3 to 4 times more than a regular source to ensure it was factual beyond the shadow of the doubt. This was not the case with Charles Robinson. He applied the standard verification with one or two sources which was enough to say he did his job. But not enough considering the source. (My words) ShapZero is a master of deception and these ******* (NCAA and YAHOO) got incepted!
# - ShapZero took advantage of Yahoo and the NCAA because they didn't raise the bar and protect themselves and innocent people
# - Charles Robinson, Pete Thamel and Theor Evans(sp) got singled out for following amoral rules of the NCAA and getting paid to do it
# - NCAA is a 501 C3 charity. They said they didn't break any rules with the Miami Investigation by the firm that they paid. Tom thinks the IRS wont feel the same way and an audit might be in order. If they are buying burner phones and putting money in commissary, that its possible they used money for other questionable means. Tom is making a prediction that a compliant will be filed to the IRS about the NCAA and misappropriations of their funds. Lots of skeletons are possibly still in the closet.

That was about it. Enjoy!
