A Possible Solution Presents Itself.

I don't think you'll get anyone to agree with the latter.

I don't understand. I won't get anyone to agree that nowhere in the letter is it stated that Pearl contacted recruits and tried to persuade them to lie to the NCAA? Or am I missing your point?

I don't think you'll get anyone to agree with the latter. We want it to be true, but it's a stretch at best.

Exactly. I'm sure Pearl called and told them "Hey, be sure and burn me when the 'AA calls you."

You specifically said that "Pearl did not call recruits and ask them to lie," which I think is a stretch and isn't what the letter says.

We were speaking in context of the letter. Sorry for the confusion. Add, "as per the letter" to that.

Having read and drafted countless such letters over the years, it's not too hard to figure out what the UT administration thinks took place during those phone calls.

Where does it state in the letter he contacted recruits? Am I missing it? I only see the reference to contacting one prospect's father.

Yes. Not much subtlety there, but they stopped short of publicly stating it.

In this context, why separate the recruit from his father?

[knowthevols]

Understood. But regardless, the letter doesn't say Pearl tried to persuade recruits to lie to the NCAA. I think that was the discussion.

I believe the letter actually states Pearl contacted the father, not the recruit, to "remind him" of their earlier discussion.

I appreciate the link, but, I had already read it. And I agree that the conversation was about Pearl calling recruits and asking them to lie. The trouble with trying to converse with hatophiles is that they think they are lawyers too and try to twist things to fit their purpose.
The actual facts do not support their statements and when someone calls them on it they gang up and start with their insults. LMAOlol:

Now who is playing semantics? I separate them because it clearly states "father" and not "prospect" or "recruit".

If you're referring to me, you're absolutely the moron that your waste of electrons hints at. I haven't said a cross word to or about Fingers, but you need it to be something different so that your fantasy continues to work. Given what I've read, you're in no danger of relinquishing your delusion.

I'm not playing semantics. The AA won't be separating them.

That was my thought when I first read the letter. The author doesn't need to be teaching any Subtlety In Drafting classes over at GCT.

I guess some people need things spelled out in black and white for them. I feel like I'm engaged in the internet version of the "How do you find the mess hall?" cross examination from A Few Good Men.

So you are admitting that you purposely mislead people.
The same thing you give Pearl hell about. LMAOlol:

The letter does not state he contacted those prospects to try to persuade them to lie to the NCAA -- regadless of what the administration "may think" or how the NCAA views it.

I don't know how to state it any clearer. I'm not sure how we can't be in agreement.

We now agree what it states. We apparently do not agree about what it actually means.

You can generally gauge the strength of a postion by the intelligence of the people advocating it. If Pearl checked out the mental acuity of his supporters on this board, he'd resign immediately.

The LOL with cartoons tells a bit of the tale.

Agreed. Except Cpl. Jeffrey Barnes readily admitted that the location of the mess hall wasn't in the book.

He's too busy trying to get in touch with Billy Clyde to see if he can get a gig on the staff in Lubbock next year.

Agreed. However, I'm only debating what it states. I'm not sure I've given my interpretation of what it means.
