I counsel patience. "The wheel of justice grinds slowly". It is really easy to get cynical and short sighted on all this stuff. But some of what have proven to be truly very important and newsworthy revelations have already come out of the litigation. For example, if two weeks before the sanctions were announed Cecil Hurt had gone with a story announcing that the ncaa built much of its case on information it gleaned from Tom Culpepper and from Phil Fulmer and speculated that in return Tennessee got a pass on most ncaa violations people would have nominated Cecil for a Pulitzer Prize. Now that time has passed, it is easy to be blase about the matter. Of course Fulmer was a SW, it all fits, blah, blah, blah.
The other thing is that Gallion and Co. may have been too forthcoming early. They set people up to expect astounding declarations day after day. And they apparently made the judge mad. I don't think they'll be talking any more except through what they actually file and say in open court, but that should be enough. If Culpepper rolled over on the ncaa, a Tuscaloosa jury may give an award that even the Tennessean won't be able to avoid publicizing.
So be patient. More will come out. Some of it (no inside info here, just guessing) will be very surprising.
Oh, and Jackie Sherrill is one vindictive you know what. If you are thinking, "what's in it for Jackie?" All he really needs is the motivation of getting even. I say good for him. The more truth the ncaa has to face, the worse it will be for them.
Just messing with you guys to show how names and places can get so misconstrued with gossip.
