[RollTideFan] Cottrell lawyer eyes ex-SEC, UA chiefs

Cottrell lawyer eyes ex-SEC, UA chiefs

07/17/03
MIKE PERRIN
News staff writer

Ronnie Cottrell's attorney intends to confront former Southeastern Conference 
Commissioner Roy Kramer, former University of Alabama President Andrew Sorensen and 
possibly current Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer for information in his effort 
to restore Cottrell's reputation.

Asked if he would subpoena Fulmer in Cottrell and Ivy Williams' $60 million lawsuit, 
Thomas Gallion III of Birmingham said Wednesday, I'm going to try. I haven't made up 
my mind yet because I need some more information.

The subpoena would be for a deposition, since state law bars compelling trial 
witnesses from traveling more than 100 miles to testify in civil lawsuits, Gallion 
said.

Gallion would question Kramer and Sorensen, among others, as he attempts to gather 
information for the lawsuit. The suit alleges that Cottrell and Williams were 
tarnished by the NCAA investigation into Alabama's recruitment of Albert Means in 
Memphis. Because of the investigation and an ongoing federal grand jury probe in 
Memphis, Gallion said Cottrell and Williams are unable to get coaching jobs at any 
major college.

Today in Tuscaloosa, Gallion and a team of attorneys representing the defendants in 
the suit will meet with Circuit Court Judge Steve Wilson for a status conference.

Gallion said the judge would not rule on any motions in the case today, but he 
expected him to set a schedule for further discovery in the suit.

Conspiracy claim:

In the suit, Gallion has charged the NCAA with conspiring with Kramer, Gene Marsh, 
Marie Robbins, Tom Culpepper and several University of Tennessee boosters to ... go 
after the football program at the University of Alabama.

The NCAA, its Committee on Infractions Chairman Thomas E. Yeager, investigator Richard 
A. Johannegmeier, UA faculty athletics representative Marsh, former compliance officer 
Robbins, freelance recruiting analyst Culpepper and attorney Richard Hilliard, who 
represented UA in the NCAA investigation, are named in the suit.

We're just starting, Gallion said. It's going to be a bone-chiller if it comes out 
like I figure. If not, well, at least we got it out on the table.

Gallion said before he took Cottrell's case he asked Cottrell to take a lie-detector 
test. I sent Ronnie to Richard Ratliff, the No.1 polygraph expert in the country, and 
I wouldn't take his case until he took that test. I didn't believe him, either. I'd 
been brainwashed.

BREAKING NEWS: Judge to consider whether to dismiss suit

By Scott Parrott
Staff Writer
July 17, 2003

Email this story.

TUSCALOOSA | Within the next 45 days, a Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court
judge will hear arguments about whether to dismiss the $60 million lawsuit
filed by two former University of Alabama football coaches against the NCAA
and several other institutions.

During a status conference today that lasted less than a half hour, Circuit
Judge Steve Wilson set the time frame during which the first hearings in the
Ronnie Cottrell and Ivy Williams suit will take place in Tuscaloosa. Nine
attorneys appeared in court representing the seven defendants, while two
showed up on the plaintiffs' side, including Tuscaloosa attorney Delaine
Mountain.

When asked whether the judge might dismiss the entire suit, Mountain said,
I will be floored if he did.

Mountain and Montgomery attorney Tommy Gallion continued their push for the
NCAA and the other defendants to release documents pertaining to the suit,
including telephone records, while the defense, including Tuscaloosa
attorney James Jenkins, asked the judge to postpone the discovery period
until after the requests for dismissals were heard to possibly save time and
money.

Cottrell filed the $60 million lawsuit in December against the NCAA and
other institutions, including UA compliance officers. The lawsuit followed
an NCAA investigation into UA football, which began in 2000 and left the
program on five years of probation, including a two-year bowl ban and loss
of 21 football scholarships, and, as the NCAA put it in 2002, staring down
the barrel of the gun of the death penalty.

Another former assistant coach, Ivy Williams, joined the suit last week. The
former coaches claim they were libeled, slandered and defamed in the
aftermath of the investigation that centered on the UA recruitment of
Memphis, Tenn., high school football player Albert Means.

Tide's ebb and flow

Player shuffles not unusual but sanctions make impact more acute for Bama

07/17/03
By THOMAS MURPHY
Sports Reporter

The scholarship numbers crunch facing the University of Alabama is a sticky subject.
Try Our Classifieds


Just ask athletics director Mal Moore, who has not granted a release to 
transfer-minded offensive lineman Grant Dickey.

We're in circumstances where I would not grant any of the players a release, Moore 
said in a telephone interview Wednesday. That's part of our situation right now.

Since receiving its NCAA sanctions on Feb. 1, 2002, Alabama had not had a scholarship 
player ask for a transfer until this summer.

Without a release, Dickey would have to pay his own way while sitting out the 2003-04 
academic year. The Dickey family, which has not said publicly where Grant Dickey wants 
to transfer, did not return a phone message Wednesday.

Reserve running back Nic Luke looks to be the next player to ask out. Luke has 
expressed an interest in transferring to Division II Tuskegee, where he would be 
immediately eligible if granted a release.

I haven't had a chance to visit with him, but I will, said Moore, who received 
Luke's transfer request Wednesday morning.

Meanwhile, the new Mike Shula football staff is still working to sort out the tangles 
left behind by the one and only re cruiting class signed by short-term coach Mike 
Price.

A handful of the signees were academic risks and one was a professional baseball 
prospect, meaning the Crimson Tide has had to continue seeking out talent to fill the 
18 initial scholarships it has available in August.

By the terms of its NCAA sanctions, Alabama is limited to a total of 80 scholarships 
during each of the next two seasons, and can provide a maximum of 18 initial 
scholarships this fall and 19 next fall. The normal NCAA maximums are 85 scholarship 
players and a maximum of 25 initial scholarships per year.

If we have 18 initials here in August, as it stands now, we'll be at 78 (total 
scholarships, including Dickey and Luke), said Alabama director of football 
operations Randy Ross.

Alabama, like most other NCAA institutions, is operating at a few scholarship players 
less than the maximum.

If you went around the SEC, the average is probably 80, 81, maybe 82, Ross said.

The Crimson Tide has had a series of personnel losses and gains since National Signing 
Day last February, and more eligibility issues could affect incoming freshmen.

Alabama signed 17 prospects on National Signing Day and added defensive entight end 
Keith Saunders of Hargrave Military Academy two weeks later.

Then, after UA president Robert Witt fired Price for improper conduct in May, the 
personnel dominoes kept falling.

Quarterback signee Cliff Davis of Eupora, Miss., was selected in the sixth round of 
Major League Baseball's amateur draft in June and signed with the Houston Astros.

Eric Packer, a skill-position standout at Wilcox Central who could play several 
positions at the college level, signed with Southwest Mississippi Junior College when 
he did not qualify to participate at Alabama.

Last Friday Alabama signed a pair of players in defensive end Wallace Gilberry of 
Baldwin County High and defensive back Eric Johnson of Saks High.

Though the various transactions have technically squared up the Crimson Tide with 18 
signees ready to enter school in August, more movement could be forthcoming.

Skill athlete Chris Felder of Wilcox Central is likely to sign with a Mississippi 
junior college in the near future, freeing up another scholarship.

The status of blue-chip fullback LeRon McClain is also in question. Tuscaloosa County 
High coach Robert Higginbo tham said McClain needs only to pass the state high school 
exit exam to be eligible.

Tuscaloosa County linebacker Terrence Jones is waiting to hear back from the NCAA 
Clearinghouse.

Coach Hig (Higginbotham) and my high school counselor both tell me that I have the 
GPA and the test score to be eligible, Jones told TiderInsider. But there's still 
nothing back from the Clearinghouse.

If we end up without 18 initial signees in August, we can sign players in December 
who can count back on this class, that is if they enroll in January and they're 
qualified, Ross said.

Prospects who sign during the Christmas period are allowed to count forward or 
backward.

Alabama's roster shuffling is not out of the ordinary compared to other major college 
programs, but its scholarship limitations narrow the margin for making mistakes in 
recruiting.

In a recent interview with the Register, Shula said he and his staff can't afford to 
make recruiting blunders in the next couple of years.

We've got to hit on (eligibility) the kids that we sign this year, he said. We've 
got to cover every base with them academically. Everything off the field we've got to

[RollTideFan] TGIF Groaner! (Non)

2003-07-17 Thread TIDE1

An eighteen-year-old girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period
for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys
a pregnancy kit. 

The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. 
Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, Who was the pig that did
this to you? I want to know! 

The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later a
Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man
with gray hair  impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out
of it and enters the house. 

He sits in the living room with the father, the mother and the girl, and
tells them: 

Good evening, your daughter has informed me of the problem. However, I
can't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I will
provide the following support. 

If a girl is born, I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a
beachfront villa and a $1,000,000 bank account. 

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a
$2,000,000 bank account. If it is twins, a factory and $2,000,000 each. 

However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do? 

At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmly
on the man's shoulder and tells him, You'll fuck her again! 

I'm outta here. Cheers -VO-
