My first thought was did Purcell even get the phone message? It's the 1990s. Voicemail existed but a lot of people didn't use it. A lot of people who had secretaries still got their phone messages on those 1/4 page pink phone message slips. Did that get lost? Was the return phone number written down wrong? Did Ryan make more than one call into the coach's office? Lots of things could have happened.

I can appreciate the writer wanted to pump up WSU's program that helps athletes after their playing days are over, but he did a terrible thing to use this conversation as he did...without verifying facts and circumstances from both Ryan and Purcell. Way too many unanswered questions and un-verified facts he is presenting as truth.

And does anyone think the writer asked Ryan to "go on the record" with any of this? You're on vacation, drinking adult beverages and make an innocent comment and this guy publicly connects dots that might not exist.

WSU should pull this article immediately. Let's hope the silver lining is Purcell sees the article and reaches out to Ryan and whatever happened is cleared up between them.
