Regret the Error

On Aug. 9, the Bottom Line at ESPN incorrectly reported that WFAA-TV in Dallas mistakenly had reported that school administrators in Dallas had changed the grades of former University of Kansas player Darrell Arthur’s grades to keep him eligible to play basketball while in high school. WFAA made no such mistake. Instead, it reported the allegation of grade-changing. In May, a former math teacher of Arthur’s at South Oak Cliff High School, Winford Ashmore, told WFAA that school administrators changed Arthur’s grades to keep him eligible to play basketball. It was reported on Saturday that a Dallas Independent School District investigation found no improprieties involving Arthur’s high school grades. Link
