I don't think it's the job of the Lincoln Journal Star to "censor" 
themselves, nor is it the LJS's job to somehow serve or protect the 
University of Nebraska program nor their football players. 


Put it in another perspective. If Harrison Beck's mom said the same thing 
to the Omaha paper, and they refused to report it, they're not much of a 
newspaper are they?
