Pretty interesting to listen to. It's the first 10-15 minutes of the show.
Quick summary:
- Program closed b/c of cub bryant's vendetta against UAB b/c Gene Bartow turned bear into the NCAA for cheating
- One of the most interesting stories he's ever covered. Only comparison would be to SMU and Marshall
- Media largely stayed away from the real story b/c cub is the most powerful man in AL sports. Gave props to Scarbinsky though.
- Coach Clark and saban talked about it, and saban tried to get cub on the phone to discuss the situation (when closing the program was just rumors) but they couldn't get coward bryant on the phone.
- Watts is basically just a puppet. Said the initial financial report justifying closing the program was flawed and pre-determined.
