exactly there is a name on there that didn't need to be paid anything-which is my greatest reason to doubt the document

Notice how Michael Carter and Bolden are linked together with a note that says "Ron"? What would that mean?

My response to everybody who has posted a reaction to the original post and stating what it is and what it isn't is:

"How do you know that?"

And if you can't answer that, then your silence speaks for itself.

I just took the post at face value and went from there.

Stallion,
You are 100% correct. When I saw that name I said this just doesn't add up.

Why would someone fabricate a memo on the Patriots letterhead? That doesn't add up either.

Alex, When did George Owens pass away? I had not heard about it but I travel a lot. I knew him when I was a banker. I heard after he was banned from SMU that he adopted Baylor as his school. The administration there was terrified by him and, reportedly, had him followed every time he was reported to be on campus. :mrgreen:

you have your banned boosters mixed up - George was not a banker and never adopted Baylor (in fact i believe George got reinstated just before he died) - i use to see him at our BB games just before he died - it was another banned booster who actually was a banker and adopted Baylor - he is still there

I think I found it. Bill Stevens banned from SMU and became involved with Baylor.

found this on the internets..

The NCAA investigation memo from Bliss' time at SMU leaked during 2003, at the peak of the Baylor basketball scandal. The memo reported that Koncak had illegally received the money during his junior and senior years from boosters as well as Bliss. Among those boosters were Sherwood Blount and William F. Stevens, two of the nine boosters who were eventually banned from any contact with SMU because of their illegal contributions to an SMU football team slush fund, which was uncovered during an NCAA investigation that led to the team receiving the "death penalty".

Stevens eventually moved to Crawford, Texas, about 15 minutes from the Baylor campus. Stevens was a prominent contributor to the Baylor basketball program under Bliss, and hosted a postseason team party following Bliss final season (2002-2003). The existence of the party, an NCAA violation, as well as Stevens' involvement with the Baylor program as a booster were uncovered during the summer of 2003.

Was at an Alumni Luncheon today and was sitting next to the Mustang Club President from '86-'87...im sure some of y'all know him.

he laughed about his terrible timing and reminisced about Mr. Blount...spoke highly of him w/ regard to his talents in the Real Estate field.

it's fascinating to hear about all of the things coming out of the woodwork 25 years later...I think Thad did more than just make a great documentary, he made it okay for everyone to talk about it again...and not look at it as a pock mark on our past.

Time heals all wounds. Some take longer than others...

Speaking of the past...came across this earlier today:
