It’s also partially fairness in play
An opponent shouldn’t have to guess who they are playing or at least know if a player is questionable.

Not sure how to say this, but Kalani is a little "touchy" in his press contacts

He especially seems to have beef with Mitch Harper for some reason

Harper asks about injury status

Not every player wants it disclosed. I tend to lean to transparency

What right does media have to college athletes injury status?

With the huge growth of gambling on college FB, injuries should be disclosed

Nah. A player’s medical information doesn’t have to made public just to facilitate gambling. If you don’t feel like you

No. They have the roster. Any coach could sit one guy and play another without any notice to the opposition and no one

People can laugh if they want but this is the main reason pro leagues take injury reports so seriously

Yep, not sure why some seem to have a hard time grasping this.

Haha. No. That's why they call it gambling.

Easy solution…don’t gamble

As soon they began paying them $$ it should be a right to everyone to know
MrSandman
Sep 17, 5:10pm
Why? Everyone is entitled to know about a player’s injury? I’m fine with that policy.

That's strange because Mitch isn't overly critical of the staff.

Do you read CB? There is a very vocal contingent that IS his enemy….

Half of CB - "Fire Kalani!"....also, why is he so touchy?

He’s way better than many. He speaks pretty favorably of the fans.
RobDog
Sep 17, 1:06pm
He ALWAYS praises the fans, apologizes to the fans, and thanks the fans. Without fail.

its because he IS a fan. Fan before he was a player and before he was a coach

Reporters. Kalani said nothing about fans- the OP brought fans into it.

I second this. Hard to be composed when you’re 3-0 & media basically ignores it

Why wouldn’t he be? I can’t blame him … especially since they fawn over others.

Kalani is an open book with the media compared to Bronco.
