Not to rain on Kokrak's parade, but does anyone not seem concerned to all the reports linking Kokrak to the new Saudi golf league? At least a few posters who seem morally outraged at us hiring Miller back, surely must be concerned about this? IMHO, being linked to the Saudi's is far worse or creates more moral inambiguity(sp?) than the recruiting violations incurred by his top assistants while at AZ.
"Just spoke with Jason Kokrak, who said he has been in talks with the Saudi league. Essentially said he wants to make a bunch of money so he can retire at 44 and watch his kids grow up. Honest if nothing else."

No rules broken. No one went to jail. Just an honest response from Jason.

I wish Miller was that upfront and honest.

If I was a middle aged golfer without a huge history of wins and slimmer chances for endorsements than the 23 year old up and comer, I would at least explore that Saudi League. I don't fault him one bit.

No one has been announced as signing up officially with the Saudi league yet, but it is more acceptable to take money from a regime with multiple human rights violations, oppression of women and having a journalist murdered, than to funnel money to college kids? And at this point Miller has never been charged, and reported suspension would likely be failure to supervise and promote an atmosphere of compliance. SMH at how myopic that is that you can condemn one activity but be ok with the other?

I asked a ref if he could give me a technical foul for thinking bad things about him. He said, of course not. I said, well, I think you stink. And he gave me a technical. You can't trust em.

Jason doesnt work for or represent Xavier in any way.

No connection at all between the two scenarios.

you ever stop and think about the fact that since the NCAA hasn't completed it's investigation, that Sean isn't ALLOWED to comment on all this until it's' officially over?
