Going into sports journalism when it’s dead
Edited by Plaza21 on July 30, 2020, 7:26 pm
Especially Illini sports journalism. The pros like Supinie couldnt even make it work. Last I read he quit to sell cars. It looks like Roughy is making any decision possible to get as many subs as possible, but I think it’s a failed venture before it even gets off the ground. There was a window in the late 90s to monetize online content. He missed it. And it’s never coming back. If Werner’s wife family didn’t run a huge construction business, I doubt Jeremy would be in the business either. Don’t Sturdy, Jeff Johnson and the other main guys on Rivals have real jobs? They have too. Nobody can make a living doing this as all they do. Unless you are focused on Kentucky basketball, or maybe Indiana, or SEC football - it’s a money pit trying to get into writing about sports. And that doesn’t even get into the argument that Roughy does not provide any actual content. Who pays for an opinion column? Of anyone? Previous Message
