Title: Rush Propst - Mike Price
Post by LawMom on 08/02/07 at 10:11am

From Wikipedia - Alabama won't tolerate it but Hoover will. Another point I am making is in reference to the lawsuit filed by Price.

Guess you can't file a lawsuit if you know that it's true.

Price may be best known for an off-the-field incident during a very brief stint as the coach at Alabama. In December 2002, he was hired in principle to replace Dennis Franchione as the head coach at Alabama. Price coached Alabama through the 2003 spring practice, in May his contract was rescinded shortly after news reports surfaced of an incident during a trip to Pensacola, Florida, where Price was playing in a golf tournament.[2] Price had never signed a written contract at Alabama.

A story in Sports Illustrated said that Price had been seen at a strip club "making it rain" and yelling "Roll Tide, Roll!". He allegedly later checked into a local hotel with at least one exotic dancer from the club. The magazine further alleged Price had sex with one of the strippers, a claim which Price denied, although he acknowledged being intoxicated on the evening in question. He filed a $20 million libel and defamation suit against Sports Illustrated. Price received some vindication in 2005 when the magazine settled the lawsuit for an undisclosed sum[3]; the article's author, Don Yaeger, was later criticized for his heavy use of anonymous sources, for a payment made to one of those sources, and for his failure to take notes during those conversations.[4]

Where are the complaints against Hunter Ford??? Maybe because there aren't any.
