You are shitting me.
You are shitting me.
Is there any truth to this
Is there any truth to this whatsoever? Gruden: "No, there isn't"
The KNS seems to be following
The KNS seems to be following this story properly and had a good, quick, and accurate report within minutes of Gruden's statement, Gruden shoots down Memphis report claiming he has UT deal. Meanwhile, at NBC Sports: Gruden’s ongoing silence sends clear message
What's that about a lie traveling around the world before the truth can get its pants on?
Update: Haslam, Browns added to KNS headline and story updated
A chunk of the Browns was
A chunk of the Browns was claimed to be part of the offer. Someone is getting punked. The NFL would never allow that because Gruden is still getting paid by Tampa Bay and I seriously doubt that the NCAA is going to let it fly either.
reasonable assumption, but...
1997 Resolution FC-3 was tailor written for Paul Allen and addresses cross ownership in "another major sports league" in the same "home territory." A quick scan of the 95 appearances of the word coach in the NFL by-laws document doesn't uncover anything relevant, and "Apparently the league is looking into the conflict of owning a part of one team while potentially still getting paid from another franchise" tells me they don't see it either.
Boosters Could Pay Coaches Directly Under NCAA Proposal
I don't think that proposal passed in the changes to the NCAA enforcement structure in October, and the Board won’t consider new proposals through 2013-14
OMG partial NFL ownership as
OMG partial NFL ownership as part of a college coaching deal!?!?
Yeah, really. South Carolina
Yeah, really. South Carolina supposedly offered Steve Spurrier a membership to Augusta National a few years back. I think it was just a rumor.
No Rumor
The hang-up on getting Spurrier to Knoxville is the golf package. Apparently a package of Honors, Holston Hills, Cherokee, The Farm and The Virginian wouldn't knock off Augusta. At least that's what I was told by a source who deems himself reliable.
Any truth to Gruden and Kenny
Any truth to Gruden and Kenny Chesney opening a dinner theatre buffet and fantasy football facility in Pigeon Forge with a UT football themed putt putt golf course and water park? With helicopter rides over UT and Cleveland Brown football practices? The Browns will return to
a 2 week pre-season practice in Pigeon Forge like back in the Goldrush Junction days.
Can anyone confirm?
Now that's a hoot.
Now that's a hoot.
I won't deny it.
