Sources: NCAA actively looking into Salinas case - CBSSports.com | Lute Olson releases statement on Salinas - CBSSports.com | Former 'Zona player talks Salinas and recruiting - CBSSports.com
There are conflicting reports on whether or not the NCAA will investigate the death of David Salinas, who was operated an AAU team and also was an investor with some notable coaches as clients, namely Billy Gillipie, who allegedly lost $2.3 million. I really want this story to go away.

David Neill is a great interview !!
The upgraded grinding it out video is a step change improvement….good stuff showing the football team working.
Roster countdown is another good, albiet smallish feature that is lots of fun, there are tidbits of information that explains, somewhat why here and there about guys who we think should be on the field more.
While the Salinas story is all the following, sad, pathetic, slimy, and heartbreaking….and, indeed, just needs to go away…I am having thoughts that this will not reflect so badly on our BB coach—other than losing a whole lot of big big dollars !!
Living large in Texas...Texas forever.
ESPN needs to become serious about their integrity and how they are perceived...
No one will tune in there if they continue to spiral in a negative direction. It seems there are a huge number of people who are unhappy with something they do. It used to be pretty good info but some of their actions and presentations lately have deteriorated and they will hopefully regain their honor. If they do so, it must be without certain little-league daddys. I can see how the UT/ESPN collaboration for the NUT happened. Both are arrogant and care only about themselves and the almighty dollar, without regard to anyone or anything else. It could be akin to a Mike Ditka/Ricky Williams relationship. I just wonder which one is wearing the wedding gown.:-)
