The UCLA Medical Center was fined $1 million for employees merely looking at the medical records of movie stars. They didn't release them. Schefter gets most of his inside information from the front office and not from the players, so I doubt he'll be black balled. However, listening to ESPNRadio--all the talking heads seem to be carrying the corporate water bucket and saying he did nothing wrong from an ethical view.
Sports reporting has become a joke. I got into a twitter battle last night with this douche ND graduate. If you are a Rome fan, you'd know him as Sean Cablinasian. He's on the radio here in Houston and is god awful. He goes on a tangent about FSU and DeAndre, etc. Of course, brings up Jamies, etc. So I question him on why he made the comparison as they are completely different situations. Asked if he had read the actual reports or just the summaries on ESPN and NYT (none of the idiot on sports radio here have actually read the reports). Then, I questioned his bias and ability to properly report -- showing that he has never brought up Brian Kelly killing that GA (my mistake was calling him Chip Kelly--I had a few pops in my) and the ND female student that the ND faithful bullied her to such an extent that she killed herself.....he ended up banning me.
