My thoughts are about how will this effect the finances of the Cadets. The lawsuit = money to defend. Could eventually = money to settle or money lost in a judgement. Thought that myself. Knew someone who was “small fry” in a group sting. The people the state really wanted to nail hard kept putting in trial delays. The small fry had to show up for every delay hearing with their lawyers (ca-Ching) and were going broke with it. Finally state cut a deal and gave them probation before while they could still feed the families. No idea of guilt or innocence of person I knew but he had to plea bargain guilty to stop the money bleeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why we need to slay the dragons NOW I think this is attributed to Einstein, I can't remember. Knowledge is like a circle, the more you discover and know, that circle expands... and the more you know the more you realize that you don't know and have to learn and discover. Right now, there's a lot that is likely being investigated, discovered, trying to get verified as truth... This will take longer than many people want it to take and wish it could be dealt with ASAP. One thing to keep in mind and this is the big one for prosecutors: If a DA goes off half-cocked and doesn't have their case as ironclad as possible and loses the case- it effectively inoculates that individual from further prosecution if more crimes are discovered or at least makes it insanely difficult. The defense can drive home claims of persecution, etc. We'll have to wait on a lot of this. This could take years, folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Envelopes stuffed with cash were delivered direct to his office. Hey... why not cut out the middleman and get paid up front. In NEPA, they have an institutional term for that, "macing". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a strange sensation for victims who worked for YEA. Suing GH and getting money that he got from YEA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lovie Smith is our state’s highest paid employee. He works for a state university. Dan Ryder (the drill guy) told me many years ago that the highest paid teacher in any Texas School District was the Football Coach. Interestingly enough he then said the second highest paid was the Band Director. He then said it put pressure on them to get that Division I rating for sure, much was expected.

I believe YEA was created right around when they took in Crown, Crossmen, and Boston as an umbrella organization that oversaw the 4 corps. That's when you started to see the acronym tossed about in conversations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Okay, I quit." "Great! Clean out your stuff, leave the car and laptop, please..." I have a feeling it wasn't that simple.... reading between the lines of that phrase, it sure implies some kind of severance deal. Reminds me of the Blotto classic "I Quit".
