We need to find a KSU journalism student who is willing to take a paycut to work at the C-J.

What is Britton Drown doing these days

KU fans even trash their best beat writer when he moves on to bigger and better things...

Quote

I'm not sure how good of decision this really is. I think his job security was probably excellent at CJ. He had a plum job covering KU sports. I would also have to know the difference in pay between Fox Sports Houston and CJ. But my bet, is that he will come to regret this decision. I know he enjoyed covering the KU sports beat. So I can't imagine it getting much better than that for him.

Quote

Like I already said, I would like to know the difference in pay. But knowing Tully, I highly doubt he will enjoy writing for Fox sports Houston more than covering KU sports. I also highly doubt CJ is folding anytime soon.

also,

J Brady is terrible, no better, bigger media outlet wants him. He's perfect for the Star though since their Sports Editors according to Whitlock and others want to always write with a negative slant towards KU.

Which is what I told them recently when I cancelled my subscription. They asked what they could do to keep me as a customer and I said that the only way that I would pay for another copy of The Star is if they had a new sports editor, and a new KU beat writer

lol @ them wanting a reporter to tell them how much he's making/how much he's going to make.

Guess now is as good a time as any: I'm leaving the C-J to work for Fox Sports at foxsportshouston.com. Tough to leave, but pumped to go.

Now Kellis can have his dream job and we can have a 78-page thread on who will win the Cassidy/Levi/myswriter battle for the Eagle/Star spot.

cj needs to promote meek to corcoran's spot and hire cassidy to replace meek.

Mods, make this the beat writer carousel thread, hopefully featuring KSU Cats.

Will be nice for Austin, much shorter drive.

Can CJ pay $50K plus benefits? Maybe they can get Joe Davis for the KSU job.

steve dave · « **Reply #83 on:** June 13, 2011, 07:15:55 AM »

Maybe Rob takes the CJ job

That would be perfect, but seemed too much to hope for.

They're really going to have him cover both teams.

Meanwhile, Tully is enjoying a lazy sunday lol'ing the newspaper industry while lounging in his new goEMAW t-shirt.

So he's not going to get to travel? Bet they make him go to all the ku bball games.

Trim · « **Reply #88 on:** August 14, 2011, 10:17:26 AM »

I bet he has to travel a shitload, covering both teams as much as physically possible, with them having Haskin or a stringer cover when not possible.

jfc, newspapers, just give up.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #90 on:** August 14, 2011, 11:44:32 AM »

hope he got a pay raise.

steve dave · « **Reply #91 on:** August 14, 2011, 02:32:44 PM »

He deserved a pay raise even before he got both beets.

I like that he responded to criticism about his coffee mug by drinking out of a flower vase.
