Oh. And **** you too Reed. Keep sucking Frank's dick. One day it'll be you jettisoned from his orbit and I will laugh my ass off. All you'll have left will be the knee pads he got you that one Christmas.

Precisely. What's the point of drafting a contingency-filled contract then? Enforce it or look like a mark to the entire NCAA.

I understand what you are saying but just because you do not do anything with breach of this contract does not mean you would not do it for another contract.

If you get everything you want at the end of the day (as far as repayments etc) then there really isn't any point to wasting $$$ on lawyers for a guy who left. It just prolongs things when you have already moved on. Doesn't do anyone any good IMO. If you aren't whole financially it's a different ball game but if you feel like you are, no reason to pursue.

If he hadn't done that Jimmy V photo op I'd be way less mad. That will never sit right with me. Dude better tread lightly. Even from up there Jimmy V knows a guy.

Yup. I enjoyed the talk in be beginning and bringing back the old STATE jersey and slobbering wolf but when he put that V photo up, I got a bad feeling. I brushed it aside at the time as just trying to generate excitement which we needed badly but it really rubs me the wrong way now for sure.
