Talk:Vince Dooley

NCAA violations

An anon continues to add the following:

Despite the successes, Dooley's tenure as UGA athletics director is closely associated with NCAA violations. His administration was marred by numerous investigations and sanctions for NCAA violations. As a result, few years passed without at least one UGA athletic team under either investigation or probation.

This is factually inaccurate based on the NCAA infractions database[1] which shows 4 major infractions for UGA under Dooley resulting in four years of probation out of his 25 year term. Please do not re-insert the paragraph as introduction of misinformation is considered vandalism. Autiger 18:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Counterpoint to AUTiger:

The above information references an article written by CBS Sportsline columnist, Dan Wetzel. (Wetzel, Dan. CBS Sportsline. (March 10, 2003). "Harrick, Georgia, SEC have checkered past".) A search of the cited database shows SIX major infractions cases in the following years: 1978, 1982, 1985 (2), 1997, 2004. Unless AuTiger can factually refute the points in this article and explain the source of his citation of only four major infractions, the continued deletion of this reference to the complete Dooley record is little more than censorship.

First, the 1978 violation was prior to Dooley becoming AD which is what the statement talks about. Technically the 2004 infraction was decided after his retirement, but we'll count that one since the activities happened under his watch. But is 5 (or even 6) "numerous"? The second line about "few years" is still incorrect and unverifiable unless you can document the dates/lengths of the investigations (which the infractions db doesn't tell us).

What you fail to understand is that the paragraph is hopelessly loaded with mischaracterization and a negative POV. Put in the actual infraction count. Objectively. Do not draw conclusions. What you reference is an opinion column by a sportwriter, not a journalistic or investigative article. Mr. Wetzel is free to be POV in his column - but you can't take the same tone here. Wikipedia is NOT a tabloid. AUTiger ʃ ^talk/_work 21:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
