Re: The -NeverEnding- Jerry Baldwin Saga
Just go back to page one.
Baldwin looked like option 5, but we had our back up against the wall.
"Baldwin wasn't UL's first choice to replace Stokley three years ago. He wasn't even second or third. By the time Dave Cully, Rich Rodriguez and Chris Scelfo had taken themselves out of the running, the Cajuns were deep into the 1999 recruiting campaign and time was running out in Martin Hall. The LSU assistant coach and Troy State head coach Larry Blakeney were the last candidates standing and Authement chose Baldwin."

As part of their punishment, they should all be made to keep and hold a toothpick in their mouth for the rest of their lives!!! The clown, disguised as a coach, should also be responsible for returning the money he stole from the University in the form of a salary for the period of time he was here.

Changing the conversation to E, L, R could have stopped this tangent in his suit.
E was prior to B, while L and R were subsequent to B.
This alone makes his current angle unfounded.

I remember it like it was yesterday. August 1971, USL campus. Mom, dad and I attended a pre-regristration function held by Dean Ray Blanco. He was head of student affairs or something similar. Not long into his presentation he says, "now parents, if you're concerned, or need to know something about child, you pick up the phone and call us, that's why we're here". Okay, that sounded good, they liked that.
Fifteen minutes later he was ranting about kids getting into trouble being away from home and says, "if you think your kid has gotten into trouble, don't call our office, we don't know what your kids are up to".
Dad looked at mom with a WTF-look on his face and mom says, "this guy's a loon". LOL

Not the story that was repeatedly told at the time. Show me the TV clip and I'll believe what you are saying. But that is the first time I have heard that angle. Not buying it.

This suit was originally thrown out by the same judge who heard this case. On appeal, it was reinstated to state court with the appeals court stating that a jury should hear it.
The jury was made up of six men and six women, six white and six black.
The jury, for the most part, knew nothing about sports.
There's no question that emotion, not facts, played the biggest role in the jury's decision. They found the University liable for breach of contract as well as racial discrimination.
Nelson was named personally in the lawsuit as well and as a result, is personally liable.
When you appeal something like this, only the facts mean anything. I am confident that JB will never see this kind of money.

It was a 60 minutes investigation, Blakeney is heard telling a recruit "Now, keep it on the down low, cuz."
Google is your friend.

I know, right?
The UL attorneys, gratefully, are being as cooperative as possible working around my schedule. Monday I only have the coach's show and I'm hoping they call me then.
After Tuesday at noon I'm in New Orleans for baseball, then the tournament. I told them I could do early Tuesday AM.
They wanted me toward the end of their case like they did last time, but that just isn't going to work I appreciate their working with me on this.

Re: The -NeverEnding- Jerry Baldwin Saga
Baldwin was fired in 2001 and 15 years later we're still fighting this legal battle. Our legal system is broken.
