      Is Jerry Tipton a journalist?

      You do realize Goodman is an actual journalist and isn't anything close to a blogger, right?

      I would assume it depends on where the guy falls in the NCAA-defined "booster" category.

      For calling? You can't.

      For calling and saying your boy should come to the school I am an official booster? Seems like the NCAA would be interested in that.
