Wow. If only the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission) were as feared as the NCAA, this country might not be in such an economic crisis! But, yeah, I understand what the UofA had to do in not letting Monk come back. The third party being involved put the UofA in a bad spot.

Seems like the former graduate assistant would have known about this special fund too. So why didn’t he point Monk in that direction? If Monk knew the rule that allows someone to loan you money if you’ve known them for a long period of time, then it looks like he would have known about the existence of this fund. Why take a violation risk when there exists something by the books that can help you out?

I hope that the fact that the UofA acted as soon as they got wind of this has some sway in us keeping our victories over Texas and OU. But I can’t say there is a good track record of the NCAA being all that forgiving of the Hogs.

Finally, it might be this losing basketball season talking, but it just seems like things have a tendency to always end on a bad note up there on The Hill. The remarkable thing about ’94 is that something involving UofA athletics had a good ending. But then even that had to have a sour note with the way Richardson went out.

At least Harry King was a little more specific on the details of the story, compared to Wally Hall just throwing out a little bait to reel in the state rumor-mill again.

Thanks, Harry.

Sounds like this Kevin guy is on a roll.

Well, Harry King is actually a journalist . . .

When the rumor started that a “former coach” was the responsible, some people (myself included) automatically assumed it was HDN. It kinda seems sad now to assume that, because it means we forgot that Stan Heath (and his damn whole staff) are also “former”. Hopefully, there will come a day when Houston Nutt is an afterthought. Hopefully sooner than later. All this dwelling on the past can’t be good for the digestion.
