Pippen claims CNBC.com included him in an article titled, “15 Athletes Gone Bankrupt” … and CBSsports.com posted a photo of Pippen along with a story about NBA players and bankruptcy.

As for ASU — Pippen claims he was tagged as a person who had gone bankrupt in a law blog operated by the University.
