Finally, an honest account that doesn’t lazily scapegoat Pollick and isn’t afraid to tarnish some sacred cows.

I’m curious if you have any thoughts on the role Richard Scrushy played in the late 90s/early 2000s in moving BSC toward D-1 athletics, and/or the effect his ability to contribute financially to the college (for obvious reasons) may have had.

Wow. What an amazing job you did here. I read one of the source books, the one Pollick published, and now your article, and it seems BSC was always on the brink. I find it all very sad because I do think it was something special when I was there in 84 to 88. I began to hear some talk about how things had gone down in recent years, but the end was a surprise to me, and I suspect to many.
