I left town Thursday, which is the day Sports Illustrated usually arrives in the mail. I didn’t return until yesterday, at which point I threw away a few pieces of junk mail, begrudgingly paid a bill and flipped through SI‘s 114-page college football preview issue.

The magazine goes to press on Mondays and has more deadline flexibility than many glossies—flexibility that was on display during the recent Ohio State scandal. With Tressel, SI was able to update its cover story with the latest details before it went to press. No such luck last week.

On Tuesday, Yahoo! Sports went and broke the biggest college football scandal of the modern era; by now, you surely know most of the details. I still feel compelled to link to Charles Robinson’s in-depth report. Here’s the thing: by going live on Tuesday, Yahoo! made sure a sprawling Sports Illustrated college football season preview edition missed out on all of the sordid details.

News of Robinson’s report trickled out on Sunday, but the particulars were vague at best. No one had this story in full—though it bears mentioning that the Miami New Times and Miami Herald had written about Nevin Shapiro, the booster in question, in the past year.

Here’s a look at how various national and local publications, Sports Illustrated included, reacted to one of college football’s greatest programs burning to the ground. (Maybe.) One organization’s reaction we don’t have: the NCAA.
