I can talk about those things in generalities because he has to be at ISU to talk about those things in specifics.<br /><br />My apologies to the intended parties for that one...my hand has been sufficiently slapped!<br /><br />FrankIdaho State Sports Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986679311574606053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684060493936630561.post-13216921957161242832010-07-14T10:35:35.649-06:002010-07-14T10:35:35.649-06:00I can answer this...I never have said what his GPA...I can answer this...I never have said what his GPA was, only the bench mark ISU asked him to hit.<br /><br />The actuality is this would fall under the legal terminology of "limited scope celebrity", which is how starts information can be stated in print as long as it's factual. The limited scope refers to the fact that he has a tie to ISU in some way, meaning I couldn't post some kid in Maine's actually test scores here since it has no meaning.<br /><br />Again, that's why if you look I never said his actually GPA. All student-athletes by the way have a form signed that allows me to release any and all information about them.<br /><br />Good point and question...<br /><br />FrankIdaho State Sports Informationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986679311574606053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1684060493936630561.post-49168128665715289972010-07-14T10:25:15.411-06:002010-07-14T10:25:15.411-06:00Simple question: aren't there privacy/confiden...Simple question: aren't there privacy/confidentiality issues at stake when you disclose such things as an individual's GPA? I know ISU won't release the information for that reason, and it often makes you go through hoops just to get a copy of your transcript to send to a 3rd party.<br /><br />Seems you're as guilty as everybody else with throwing out "information" without talking to all sides involved.<br /><br />Shame, really.Unaccountablenoreply@blogger.com
