Couch's brother calls Bassett's claims 'ridiculous

[The Bubba]

Greg Couch reacted with derision and disbelief to Claude Bassett's claim that the University of Kentucky recruited a star quarterback with cash and other improper inducements, an apparent reference to Couch's brother Tim.

"That's absolutely ridiculous," Greg Couch said yesterday. "Claude Bassett was not even here when Tim was recruited."

Bassett, a former UK assistant coach, is suing the National Collegiate Athletic Association and UK's Athletics Association. He was the central figure in an NCAA investigation which led to major sanctions against the football program.

Let's all hope none of the allegations by Bassett aren't true, UK couldn't stand another probation punishment. It sounds like Tim's brother knows what he's talking about. Time will tell.

If none of this is true, I hope Bassett gets everything that he deserves. And, it shouldn't be pretty.
I don't think that Bassett should be going after today's administration because he may have been used as a scapegoat for yesterday's administration. That's just my opinion.

I agree with everything you said about Bassset, trueblue. I do think just as Eddie Sutton did with Dwane Casey that Hal Mumme found his scapegoat in Claude Bassett!

You all will excuse me please, I re-read my post and I mean't to say aren't true. I corrected it.
