I would love if SMU debunked the whole WFAA report point by point. Then revealed , per source "Shipp plagiarised an essay in high school, and therefore, never officially graduated."

Here are the articles for others who hadn't seen them. Not much substance. Nothing on ESPN yet. I maintain that this will turn out to be a non-issue.

Sounds like LB doesn't see much basis in the story.......

(Sorry if this was posted in the 25+ previous pages)

The article does bring out one good question and that is how did the SID let LB get blindsided like that? I like Brad and I think he does a good job but it does as the question on this situation.

This is AD level issue-I realize at SMU we have the SID wearing several different hats-but clearly it should have been directed at AD or Basketball Coach himself

First of all, I want to know who Brett Shipp called 2 months ago and never received a return phone call from. Also, I assure you if the basketball SID or for that matter the head SID knew anything about this, LB would NOT have been blindsided.

No sure, but I think you are giving induendo on this board way to much credit. Where did you hear or read that Shipp called 2 months ago and never received a return phone call?

Brett Shipp is a joke. Numerous articles about his tactics which include lies, bullying and falsehoods. There is an entire facebook page dedicated to his lies.

Prime Prep football players almost killed him when he showed up to their practice. And with good reason.

This is a non-story.

I just hope SMU handles this with our BB team's interests at heart, and not worry about some 'possible" negative PR that will likely go way by this Friday.

I don't think any reputable attorney would allow his client to comment on a unsubstantiated media report based on an DISD investigation/report they had not yet reviewed. Simply no comment-just like most all attorneys who hadn't read contents of a filed petition or complaint. DMN didn't get the DISD report until today and they requested in December

Does Brett sleep with sheeps?

This should be cleared up, yes. WFAA reports that SMU took 2 months to respond to the DISD investigation, which they (DISD) were performing at the request of DMN. WFAA didn't have this until DISD report was made available last Monday. No one didn;t call back WFAA. SMU probably had their own people inquire then got back to DISD, who then noted their response in the report.

So DMN effectively commissioned an investigation? Wow

They do it a lot with DISD. See Brett Shipps career for the last three years, quoting the DMN.

RGV Pony · Post by **RGV Pony** » Mon Jan 27, 2014 5:58 pm

Wow. Talk about manufacturing a story

Who paid for this report? Did my tax dollars go to the invetigation that WFAA requested? Or, did WFAA pay for it. To me commissioned means to financial back. Am I wrong?
