here's a question ive always had about "releasing documents": How do you know they released all of them? you don't right?

I hope the NCAA doesn't just say, "give us all your documents," and hope for the best. I'm sure they request specific documents and I would think it would be fairly easy to figure out if something is missing from the list.Nobody is going to give up incriminating evidence willfully no matter how "unprecedented" their level of cooperation.

I want someone to request the tutors financial information. I cant wait to see how much money she was actually sending/recieving and where she got it from.
6/29/2011 12:23:57 PM
^no way anybody is getting anything from her, she has one the same lawyers as the defense in the duke lax case
6/29/2011 12:42:37 PM
not only that, but I don't see a scenario where she would be required to give it.
6/29/2011 1:32:40 PM
^ The only way it's possible if it comes out that Butch was paying her a large sum of money. Then the IRS starts to get interested. But that's got about a .00000000126% chance of happening.

If you think Butch wrote her a personal check(s) I've got beach front property in Kansas for sale. Cash every time.
6/29/2011 1:47:34 PM
OK...can we do a little investigative journalism and find out who is financing her to pay for the lawyer. Can we start there?

I'm thinking about throwing the PP cats a bone and building a little dataviz widget so they can get all googly-eyed when they see the links between the phone numbersshould be easy enough to do, I'd just need some help with the data entry shit (because I don't want to parse through those phone records myself)also I really need to question if i have enough time or interest to do the news agencies' work for them

The fact that Butch and Blake talked daily should nix the idea that Butch had no idea what Blake was up to, both to the NCAA and to the UNC brass (lets pretend they care bout the truth for a moment). Forget all the "they were friends for 36 years...Blake was the Associate head coach......Blake's reputation was shady before Butch" etc. In the eyes of the NCAA, they say the head coach is responsible for knowing what goes on, well, there's documented proof of countless phone calls on a daily basis. There's no way to dispute this, and it is not curcumstantial. Curious as to when they release Butch's emails? Also, someone mentioned that Thorp or Baddour could go into Butch's office (again, if they cared about finding the truth) and demand to see his Ohio cell phone records. Thorp made a big spectacle back in August during the presser about "getting to the bottom of all this."edit: Also, in Butch's contract, it staes that major violations that occur that the coach should have known about can be grounds for a show cause. Well, that pretty much means that UNC could fire Butch yesterday without pay and if he sues, all UNC needs to produce are the call logs between he and Blake to a judge to show that they were having daily conversations, open and shut case.[Edited on June 29, 2011 at 9:28 PM.

@jpgiglio- Results of a 40-minute interview with Todd Stewart(aspiring agent) will be in Thursday's paper.@jpgiglio- His versions of the infamous trips to Miami and the NCAA's are not the same.

I'll be interested to read the Gigilo article...I'm sure a lot more money/benefits were received than what was in the NOA...the NCAA probably couldn't dig up everything (and the players probably couldn't remember it all)[Edited on June 29, 2011 at 10:48 PM. Reason : ]
6/29/2011 10:47:15 PM
^ Yeah, looking forward to that article. At best it'll hurt UNC. At worst it won't help them. Either the guy spills the beans about stuff the NCAA didn't know about and they go looking for more dirt, or he disputes their findings, they ignore him, go about their business, and tear UNC a new one anyway.
6/29/2011 11:02:51 PM
since he has already been accused of providing impermissible benefits to at least 3 players as outlined in the NOA, not sure what he gains by spilling the beans. i am doubtful this will be very damaging for UNC.
6/29/2011 11:23:44 PM
Since he was already named in the NOA, I really doubt he's gonna come out and say that he really provided many more benefits to the players than what the NCAA knows about...I'm guessing the interview will be more about the culture of the agent business. Or not. But I don't see him further implicating himself in the whole mess (maybe he calls out other agents or tries to clarify his side of the story). Still, should be interesting...but I'm not expecting an earth-shattering, UNC damning story tomorrow. But I am interested in what differs between his story and the NCAA's, as Gigilo tweeted.[Edited on June 30, 2011 at 12:01 AM. Reason : ]

6/30/2011 12:43:54 PM
all it means is Austin and Little were eventually more honest with the NCAA than this guywonder how the UNC fans will spin it though...I'm sure they're content believing him, but also blaming him for their entire mess
