This is ridiculous. Cohen should be ashamed.

Sounds as though Mark Cohen subscribes to the methods of the Chinese agency SARFT.

Sounds like the young man was simply expressing his opinion. It's not like he made a personal attack about any TCU players. Let the kid express his opinion.

Mark Cohen is a detriment to the university, its athletic department and the media relations field in general. What an idiot to not think this story won't be picked up by bigger media and paint him in the worst light possible.

He's been doing this kind of thing for years now--and the athletic department is the last entity to have benefited from it.

Smith was dismissed for what, exactly? I could understand if he had launched some sort of personal attack on Dalton, but we all know that isn't what happened.

I didn't know TCU preferred it's student journalists to be PR shills instead of, you know, journalists.

Mark Cohen's reaction to Smith's remarks has now given them an even wider audience, and now far more people will be talking about how Andy Dalton can manage a game but not win one.

Wow. This is awful. Mr. Smith was simply doing what he was asked to do, and will continue to be asked to do the rest of his career: provide his honest opinion. Seems like TCU's media relations needs to grow some thicker skin. Smith's comments were hardly inflammatory, and it makes the department look like a fool to ban him from using equipment, especially when it isn't even theirs. Is it their right to pull his access? Yes. Is it right? No, especially considering the reason.

Hope Frog fans enjoy the university's spin because if Mark Cohen and his crew have their way that's all that will be left.

It looks like the young man was simply expressing his opinion but he must give one more chance to keep things fixed.
