[QUOTE="volboy, post: 5574147, member: 21832"] You just keep those far reaching ideas to make the school look like they should be on a pedestal. The following is copied from al.com (since you think print media is where the info should come from). This was on Wednesday 2/22. If they knew for over a month, why did Byrne lie this past wednesday? Wednesday? From al.com: [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne said Wednesday the school learned new details this week about star basketball player Brandon Miller's contact with Darius Miles the night of the Jan. 15 killing of Jamea Harris.[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Specifically, Byrne told ESPN's College Gameday podcast that the school did not know about Miles' text message request to Miller asking the freshman forward to bring Miles' gun to the scene.[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][B][/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]"That information was new to me," Byrne said Wednesday. "I had not been told that before."[/COLOR][/B] The text message was revealed as part of law enforcement testimony at a 9 a.m. Tuesday hearing in Tuscaloosa's county jail to decide bond for Miles and Michael Davis, who were both charged with capital murder. That hearing had been initially scheduled for Feb. 7 before being postponed. Reporters were present for the Tuesday hearing from several local news outlets, but recording devices, phones, laptops and cameras were not allowed. During the second hour of the two-and-a-half hour hearing, a reporter from the Tuscaloosa Thread left the room to publish a story revealing initial details about Miller's vehicle being at the scene. Other details, including the text messages, had not yet been reported from the courtroom when coach Nate Oats arrived in the Coleman Coliseum press room shortly after noon Tuesday for his regular-scheduled 11:30 a.m. news conference previewing Wednesday's game at South Carolina. During the news conference, Oats was asked a question that noted the court discussion about Miller's vehicle and inquired about Oats' comfort level given Miller's proximity to the shooting. "We knew about that," Oats responded. "Can't control everything everybody does outside of practice. Nobody knew that was going to happen. College kids are out, Brandon hasn't been in any type of trouble nor is he in any type of trouble in this case. Wrong spot at the wrong time." [/QUOTE]
