Assume that you are a university sports information director. Although you like your current job, you have applied for another job at a competing university. Days before your interview, chaos, and confusion break out at your current university with the rumor of a widespread athletic department scandal involving financial dishonesty, misrepresentation, and fraud. Faculty, student-athletes, boosters, and administrators all are allegedly involved. The local broadcast television station opens the nightly news show with the line "Your local athletic department is in trouble, and individual integrities are suspect." The next day the local newspaper alleges your involvement in criminal activity. You worry about how this debacle will influence your current and future employment opportunities. A friend mentions suing for defamation. What are some of the costs and benefits associated with a defamation lawsuit filed against the media that broadcast the university scandal and your alleged involvement?
