FOIA request for football roster from NJ Advanced Media
August 12th, 2017 at 7:47 PM ^
Yet another identity for WD?
August 12th, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
Honestly, good on them.
Come on guys, this is a little ridiculous. We still have Shane Morris and Devin Asiasi on the roster.
I don't understand what disadvantage we could possibly have for releasing a roster unless people are missing from the team that no one else knows about.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:52 PM ^
So? Why do you car so much? You'll have the answers and the info in a couple of weeks. You act like you'll never get the information.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:53 PM ^
Oh I'm not the only who cares. Nick Baumgardner is the president of the update the roster club. I am a mere citizen.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:56 PM ^
He can wait 2 more weeks as well. It's not going to kill either of you.
And *care to the first response.
August 13th, 2017 at 5:48 PM ^
He can buy a copy of HTTV like the rest of us. Maybe he can convince Brian to throw in a shirt?
August 12th, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
You're like the diehard Michigan fan version of Paul Blart.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:52 PM ^
Fun Fact, Michigan is hosting the Ultimate Frisbee SemiRegional No One Gives A Shit this year!!!
August 13th, 2017 at 12:29 PM ^
Where are the team rosters? I can't find them!
FOIA!!!!!!!
August 12th, 2017 at 10:08 PM ^
Our Dear Leader Brian is also a fan of Michigan releasing a roster. But it's WD vs. Harbaugh, so we know who will win this popularity battle.
August 13th, 2017 at 12:06 AM ^
What kind of dorky activity could you possibly need the roster for? Make a poster and put them on the wall? Turn them into a lamp shade? Put them on the back of your hilarious WD shirt?
August 13th, 2017 at 10:21 AM ^
Asking about a dorky activity while posting on a internet sports message board is a very self-defeating question.
August 13th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
There are levels to this shit.

they are close enough to make that a dumb reply
August 12th, 2017 at 8:02 PM ^
are you sure we will get the info in two weeks? Pretty sure when we do nothing will be updated outside maybe jersey numbers.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
I'm positive. Plus game programs.
Otherwise just take the entire link down.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:16 PM ^
It's a little weird, yeah, but it's not that serious. This is a little pathetic.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:39 PM ^
The roster is from 2016, of course everyone from that team is still on the roster. Just like if you go to the 2015 roster on that site you will see guys like Jake ruddock.
It's not like they are trying to claim that is the current roster.
August 13th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
So you don't get to update your SuperGuide for a few more minutes. Life is tough.
Harbaugh can do what he wants with releasing a roster. This is 100% nothing burger.
August 14th, 2017 at 11:40 AM ^
to see the roster and I would like to see updated weights for players, but not sure it's worth an FOIA request to get one. Think that's a little overboard.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:49 PM ^
FOIA laws are premised on disclosing a public record; if the record hasn't yet been created, then it doesn't yet exist, and can't be produced. What a non story this "journalist" created
August 12th, 2017 at 8:08 PM ^
There is no duty to create a record. Accordingly there is no duty to respond to a request to produce a non-existent record.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
This "journalist" is an eff'ing moron. He makes teddy greenstein look like a credible sports journalist. UNLESS, this was written for the Onion and got put there by mistake.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:53 PM ^
Journalists also make sweeping and over generalized requests - eg, "all written notes, voice mails, emails, pictures, videos and correspondence pertaining to the 2017 football roster..."
That's why you see public entities respond with $$ to respond.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:56 PM ^
Appears overbroad in scope. Just having fun, hey, it's Saturday night.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:50 PM ^
Couldn't figure out if they want our Facebook roster or our fullback roster...
August 12th, 2017 at 7:56 PM ^
Touché
Edit made
August 12th, 2017 at 7:51 PM ^
I was just thinking earlier today that we havent heard any tough talk from Rutgers since October 8, 2016.
Please let this be a reason for JH to try to score 70+ on them again this year.
August 12th, 2017 at 9:50 PM ^
Since it's a home game we won't face the travel squad limitations. It'll be a chance to see what our 4th and 5th stringers can do.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:52 PM ^
Rutgers is really trying too hard.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:11 PM ^
Have they realeased a roster? Maybe stick closer to home NJ guy.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:55 PM ^
This is a reporter in NJ that just wants attention. You can FOIA it if it doesn't exist.
And technically they don't EVER have to post heights and weights. It's just tradition that teams do it. But student-athletes have protection over that info, just like their grades, or their health...which also never HAS to be released.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:00 PM ^
Just don't understand the need to do so. The season is 3 weeks away. Rutgers won't be getting blown out by us until well into the season
August 12th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
*can't
...this is why I rarely post from my phone.
August 12th, 2017 at 7:57 PM ^
We 'love' you too Rutgers
August 12th, 2017 at 8:06 PM ^
this is our weekly reminder that you never go full rutgers. never
August 12th, 2017 at 8:24 PM ^
but playing Michigan makes my eyes rain"
August 12th, 2017 at 8:41 PM ^
Had this expression on his face the entire game :)
August 12th, 2017 at 8:43 PM ^
during a 78-0 beatdown.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:12 PM ^
Didn't even know.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:13 PM ^
Much ado about nothing.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:21 PM ^
Forget the concept of a competitive disadvantage when it comes to the roster. Any inconvenienced opponent -- or media member -- can take last season's roster plus the 2017 recruiting class and determine about 95 percent of the roster. This is about making life just a little extra difficult for everyone around Harbaugh. Except for his fellow millionaires.
So this article is about a guy bitching about having to do math. Carry on.
August 14th, 2017 at 11:30 AM ^
Can someone who read the article clarify what the reporter meant with the last sentence in that blurb? What does Harbaugh's wealth have to do with this, and who are the millionaires that are not being inconvenienced by this? Did Harbaugh send the roster to everyone on the millionaires listserv or something? I have so many questions, but, at the same time, refuse to give that article a click.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:21 PM ^
Check online for the NCAA '13 Xbox roster updates like everyone else, turd.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:23 PM ^
probably just download the 2016 one and add the 2017 class and remove seniors (obviously there will be injury red shirts, peppers, transfers, etc) but that would get you 99% of the way there. But problem-solving isn't for everyone. But then again why write an article about this?
August 12th, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
The reporter thinks that apparently that method will only get him 95% of the way there. Be considerate now.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:29 PM ^
The more people lose their shit over something so utterly insignificant, the more I hope we never post a roster.
August 13th, 2017 at 11:39 AM ^
that had changed by the first game, but I'm good with your idea too.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:34 PM ^
78-0. Go pound sand, wanker.
August 12th, 2017 at 8:42 PM ^
to that request too. here is some info on that:
-
Generally, schools must have written permission from the parent or eligible student in order to release any information from a student's education record. However, FERPA allows schools to disclose those records, without consent, to the following parties or under the following conditions (34 CFR § 99.31):
- School officials with legitimate educational interest;
- Other schools to which a student is transferring;
- Specified officials for audit or evaluation purposes;
- Appropriate parties in connection with financial aid to a student;
- Organizations conducting certain studies for or on behalf of the school;
- Accrediting organizations;
- To comply with a judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena;
- Appropriate officials in cases of health and safety emergencies; and
- State and local authorities, within a juvenile justice system, pursuant to specific State law.
Schools may disclose, without consent, "directory" information such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, honors and awards, and dates of attendance. However, schools must tell parents and eligible students about directory information and allow parents and eligible students a reasonable amount of time to request that the school not disclose directory information about them. Schools must notify parents and eligible students annually of their rights under FERPA. The actual means of notification (special letter, inclusion in a PTA bulletin, student handbook, or newspaper article) is left to the discretion of each school.
