Sad to see him go - he's one of the good ones. I wonder what this will mean for Ben as the MU beat reporter going forward.

What an awesome story! Good luck to him and his wife!
Maybe the MJS will drag Tom Enlund out of retirement. (BTW, here's Tom's last Tweet: https://twitter.com/tenlund/status/198914716662366209?s=20)
Congrats to Matt and his wife. You don't get a chance to follow a dream everyday, and the severance package came at an opportune time.
A good guy and a god reporter.

He was godly when you compare him to Mike Hunt
Mattie V with one last great story . Loved how he followed MU and that why I tried to post as many of his articles as possible. Having a good local beat writer is an intangible positive, and I was glad Ben came in and was equally as solid.
I am confident Mattie V will find some work in Indianapolis. I also am confident his wife is going to be an outstanding physician in whatever specialty she chooses.
