I agree that injuries are the main information that should be released to the public. In Pullman, criminal activity becomes public because the Pullman police blotter is public information. However, often an injustice is done because all the facts aren't in when the information initially becomes public. Then the final outcome receives less publicity than the initial outcry. Grades become apparent when a student is held out of participation for academic reasons or the student makes the academic team--more details than that are unnecessary IMO.
To me the saddest part of the kind of information that is made public is that it is the negative activity that makes the news and not the 200 plus student-athletes who made a 3.0 gpa or better and those how help out in classrooms, visit hospitals, and put on sports clinics, etc.
I believe it is the responsibility of the athletic department to monitor injuries, past or current, to student athletes, the courts to handle criminal issues (punishment and rehabilitation under the law), and summer employment is noone's business other than the students'. None of these need to be, by rule, made public. However, we are dealing with NCAA issues in athletics and that is the one area which should be public information other than grades/academics, which was specifically excluded from the survey, .
