Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 2349402, member: 38"] “Following yesterday’s reports from New York regarding a Federal investigation of intercollegiate athletics, The University of Alabama Department of Athletics immediately initiated an internal review of our men’s basketball operations,” UA director of athletics Greg Byrne said in the release. “[B][I]As a result, we have accepted the resignation effective today of Kobie Baker[/I][/B], a men’s basketball administrator. [B][I]Our review has not identified any NCAA or SEC rules violations nor the involvement of any other coach or staff member. [/I][/B]We have notified both of the governing bodies of the actions we have taken. As always, we will continue to be proactive in our compliance efforts.” (I didn’t intend to use any words here, I was just going to use the little emoji where the guy looks perplexed and he has his fingers on his chin. It would perfectly captured the duplicity of the Alabama statement. You would have known exactly what I meant the second you saw it. You would have appreciated the simplicity of the message. Alas, that emoji is not recognized here. It doesn’t exist. It doesn’t show up. Verboten. So I ask you, pretend that instead of this dense block of text that has wasted time that you will never get back, you saw an emoji of a little perplexed guy with his fingers on his chin. Thanks.)
