Re: Seth Gross
I heard the rumors before I read them on this board and, like all of you, hope that they aren’t true. I came here to see what other Jackrabbit wrestling fans are thinking about info that is already out there. What is a message board for if it isn’t to discuss what we are hearing? Should anyone publishing unsubstantiated claims such as: “I heard recruit X is leaning towards the Jacks” be afraid? Or is it only the negative rumors that will be punished? Message boards don’t constitute journalism. We are just fans coming together to discuss the team(s) we support, and should be treated as such.

Re: Seth Gross
One thing with Seth is his relationship with SDSU is different than most student athletes. After getting kicked off the team at Iowa there weren’t a ton of programs that were begging him to come wrestle for them. Actually quite the opposite he was “begging” for a second chance. I have to think the ultimate decision whether they brought in Seth rested with Justin Sell. So, although Bono leaving creates a convenient narrative there is another side to Seth’s story.
Also isn’t Seth’s girlfriend from Brookings?

Re: Seth Gross
I was pretty sure this rumor wasn't true when the idea was put out that he was faking being injured in order to .... I have seen this same rumor before with three different kids that I know who were experiencing extended health issues. Before the diagnosis was completed kids weresaying that they were faking it. Kids don't fake being sick for extended periods of time. Maybe for a few days to get out of a test or something like that but not for many many months.
I hope Seth gets his issues taken care of and he can become fully healed. Back injuries are serious and hopefully he can make a complete recovery for his health not only short term but hopefully he doesn't have long term issues, which is really the most important. I would love to come see him wrestle for SDSU again.

"I heard from the assistant volunteer floor sweeper Pat Patterson that . . . "
"I heard from Bruno Mars when we were shooting Fireballs in the bar that . . . "
"I saw a tweet from Ace Reporter, the beat writer for the University of Okoboji Competitive Drinking Team that . . . "
"I saw a post on ReallyRidiculousRumors.com that said that . . ."
(the latter two should be accompanied by a link, by the way)
These sorts of statements are acceptable here, as they allow people to judge for themselves the veracity and reliability of your information.
If you're going to post it, own it. And owning it includes reporting EXACTLY where you got the "info" from.
Anything else is rank rumormongering. Period. And doing rumormongering will get you in trouble here.
I frankly don't care if people like the policy or not. I expect there will be a fair number of people who don't like it.
Tough.

Sometimes the rumor mill is accurate but oftentimes it is flat wrong and has the potential to cause harm. filbert’s attribution rule is a reasonable approach to how this board will or will not deal with rumors about student athletes.
