DKW 86 7,431 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Link Lawsuit alleges Kentucky violations were well knownAssociated PressLEXINGTON, Ky. -- Former Kentucky head coach Hal Mumme and one of his assistants claimed high-ranking university officials knew of NCAA violations being committed by the football program in the late 1990s, according to a court filing made in a lawsuit by another former assistant. The filing was made by attorneys for Claude Bassett as part of a federal lawsuit against the university's athletic association and the NCAA. It includes a summary of testimony made by former assistant Tony Franklin and an affidavit from Mumme. Franklin testified last week that recruiting violations occurred both before and after Bassett was hired in 1997, and that Bassett wasn't the only one at Kentucky who committed violations. According the Franklin's testimony, violations occurred "with the implied consent" and "to some extent, with [the] participation" of administrators including former university president Charles Wethington, former athletic directors C.M. Newton and Larry Ivy and the university's current NCAA compliance director, Sandy Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quietfan 233 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Why haven't we read about this in the press ad nauseum long before it was actually filed with the court? Did they not learn anything from Tommy Gallion about how to conduct a civil suit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
