Talk:University of Michigan basketball scandal

I am sorry but all this talk about Ed Martin being a booster is a lie. My Uncle who has contacts through the boosters said no linkage exists between Martin and the U of M boosters. What I would like to see some evidence outside of Newspapers that show Martin was in effect a booster. --Mihsfbstadium (talk) 08:50, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

A newspaper reference is a good enough reference for Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not the place to be determining the "booster" status of Ed Martin. The article should just be stating published information. See WP:OR. X96lee15 17:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I understand. I did dig through the Mlive link provided from the article. Only one newspaper said he was booster. The ann arbor and detroit presses tend to call him just by his name or as an electrician at the plants. In anycase one paper did state from Jalen Rose who was a member of the Fab 5 that he was not a booster but rather a detroit local that followed the local scene and helped the low income great basketball players out. I think Jalen in the paper said he would give players coats if they needed them. --Mihsfbstadium 00:03, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
