The Miami Herald has a story following Rolle throughout Friday and Saturday, from winning a Rhodes Scholarship in Alabama to playing in FSU's 37-3 trouncing of Maryland at College Park, Maryland.
It's a vivid telling of the days' events and relates Rolle's experiences as a football player and student. I have two major gripes, though:
- The article never mentions the outcome of the game, let alone whether Rolle actually played (he did).
-and- - There was no video or multimedia outside of a single photo.
The article could have benefited greatly from a video of the scene of Rolle's police escort or at least a photo gallery. Maybe no cameras were allowed in the ceremonies, but photos there also would have helped.
And I understand the article was probably written for the front page (I haven't gotten a chance to look at the real paper), which means it's directed toward a more general audience, but to leave readers with Rolle arriving at the game leaves too many questions unanswered to feel any kind of closure at the end.
