I sent an email to ESPN
 
So, Clarrett is correct when he says OSU gave him money, but he's a liar when he says ESPN paid him for the story. But he's credible enough to post his trash about OSU, but we shouldn't believe him when he says you paid him to say it. Why do we get only some info from players that have been thrown out of the program.
Why not show us the facts, why do we get "from a source that wishes to remain anonymous". ESPN is loosing a lot of credibility here. Why not go to Herbstreet and let him tell you what he knows, and quote him. He works for you. If Herbie says the program is dirty.... print it. If you have no reliable sources, then don't write the story. There has to be some honorable people at ESPN, or are you now the Tabloid Sports Network?
It sells, but is it fact or fiction. ESPN needs to do the right thing. Are you and an honorable reporting agency or a sleezy tabloid? Show us the facts, or lable the story as Claretts Fantasy.
 
I had to include my name and phone number .....
we'll see what they have to say ....
