Re: Harrick excuses, excuses, excuses...

I'm not a big Dale Brown fan either, but here's 
a line from this article I do not understand...

Brown, who retired from coaching at LSU in
1997, said that over the years he has
personally given Cole approximately $10,000
but none since before the summer of 2001.

How can a former NCAA coach give 
money like this to kids and yet they are able
to keep their eligibility?? Or is this part
of the reason Cole ran into trouble with the
NCAA? I don't know the whole story with this
kid other than I understand bad news has followed
him around.
