A payment from the New York Times?


Huh?So the NY Times tracks down a player 35 years later so they can get him a check so he can make up racist stories about Adolph Rupp?

Makes a TON of sense.

Who says it was the Times that initiated it? Maybe it was Bassett seeking a buyer. Sports Illustrated and ESPN had been busy trying to destroy Coach Rupp's legacy since the 1980s.

Northern news media trying to destroy successful southern programs was a very popular effort for the decades of the '80s, '90s and early 2000s. Surely you remember that.
