    The media can ask those questions anyway. He doesn't have to answer, but the media can ask.

    When the media is invited to a press conference, the media is not accepting the terms of the person doing the inviting. Now, the person doing the inviting can instruct his cronies to kick out said media, but a press conference has no set terms to them.

    An interview can, I suppose. Not a crowd gathering.

    This, of course, is something often lost on sports reporters and why press conferences often aren't very good. Reporters rarely work off of each other in those settings.

    He waited because the substance of the story is true. But he learned the tape does not say what the reporting states. He did it, he think he knows they can’t prove it. Nothing will piss off the investigators and prosecutors more than someone they believe is guilty who spouts off about being innocent, outside of court.

    What if they retract the retraction? Do damages still get limited, or does everyone pretend the retraction never took place?

    After much hemming and hawing to the contrary, N.C. State today released the subpoena it received from the S.D.N.Yon. grand jury investigation. It's short and doesn't reveal a ton of detail, but it does give a peak into what kinds of things they're looking for.

    WRAL published it here:

    Subpoena to NC State (N0026732xC1D49)

    EDIT: I hope every news outlet that covers a public university caught up in this thing is submitting these kinds of public records requests that WRAL and the N&O did here.

    Sounds like a pretty good deal: $7.2 million. Employment record now says no cause for firing.
    Guy is slime. He knew his football coaches had secured game plan of upcoming opponent. When said opponent's administration tries to call, he refused to answer the phone. When the scandal leaked, he issued a statement that essentially said, "How dare you inquire and distract us as we prepare for our bowl game."
    No contrition. No apology. At least not then. Morally bankrupt institution funded at least until recently by white supremacist pizza chain.

    He also threw a bitch fit when Pitt and Syracuse bailed on the shit show that was the old Big East -- crying about loyalty and betrayal -- only to pull the same move a few months later.

    Louisville should be sending half its annual ACC payout to Maryland, because that’s the only way in hell Louisville was able to get into the league.

    Worst thing ACC has ever done. Inviting the felon who just hit the lottery to join your club.
