re: Lipsey with additional shot at F King..

How can king survive that? Or whoevs is responsible?

So these guys suspend WW because they want the appearance of “instatutional cobtrol” to the NCAA. Yet, they have clearly lost institutional control based on these situations. They should be fired tonight!

He is also a founding member of Tiger Athletic Foundation.

Would firing Alleva (leaving FKA out of this question) at this point in time be viewed by the NCAA as a punitive action and an attempt at cover-up?

Shouldn't be. Captain is responsible for what happens on his ship.

But logic has no place in NCAA decision making. Plus if all of this is happening, no telling what kind of dead man's switch Cuckleva and FKing are holding.

The list of people that dislike this guy is VERY small.

Fat lady is warming up!

Do folks know that Lipsey was a personal aid to John Kennedy and had a Top Secret Clearance. This is testimony for House Select committee in 1978. Has he spoken out before like this? I don't see anything like this before and he's 79. I guess he finally had enough? Does anyone have personal knowledge of why he's getting so involved?

House Select Committee 1978:

LIPSEY: Never saw them. None whatsoever. Our obligation as far as the autopsy ended right there. I’m not sure we had any obligation for the autopsy except Gen Wehle was responsible for the funeral. Gen. Welhe, he wanted somebody there to make sure nobody carted that body off until he could get back there and till everything was taken to the WH. He said, "You stay here and watch it."

I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help to you. It’s been a long time. Like I said, the three entrance wounds and the only thing I remember vividly because of my listening to comments immediately after all these reports began coming out. Obviously, I really wasn’t interested in the autopsy, quite frankly, I was more interested in looking at pictures of the man and at the time -- really planning the funeral. At the time I wanted to study. I wanted to be up there with Gen Wehle wondering what the plans were [rather] than sitting in that room. That's the best I can tell you.

Obviously, everything I've told you here. First of all, I've never discussed any part of the autopsy with anybody. You are the first I have discussed it with -- not even with my wife. And the thing, relating back to the thing, it had to do with National Security, more as I had a Top Secret rating -- because I was exposed to every Top Secret document in Washington. I briefed the President with Gen. Wehle and things. And, of course, that had more to do with, we signed those, we would not discuss… I feel like it was, it had more to do with relating to the president and his dealings, or at the time what his plans were, or any of the people he had talked to or confidentiality, or anything read that came from our office to his office. Still, I felt that if it should be told to anyone, it should be told to authorized persons such as yourself. For that reason, and Gen Wehle and I kind of agreed we would never discuss it among ourselves. It’s never been discussed with anybody. And I certainly would not want my comments made public. I don’t think they should be.

Q: Okay, you have the card that Andy gave you with the Committee address and telephone number and if you need to contact us you can call collect.

LIPSEY: I appreciate it. If I think of anything else, I’d certainly be glad to tell you. That's why I never got real excited and never called anybody to come see me because really, my part was dealing with ,it was meeting Kings and Queens and presidents that came, getting to meet them all. I’ve got them all written down -- 62 Kings and Queens, or pres. of foreign countries. And it was a heck of an exciting experience while we were there. We were in charge of, if you remember, the March on Washington in August of that year. That was an exciting time. We got to do so many exciting things. But more ours were functional exciting things. Of course, being the funeral, we started this thing on Friday at noon and didn’t go to bed till Monday night. We went back to our rooms just to change clothes.

Q: I’ll terminate the tape at this time. It’s now 1:13.

You think Lipsey was giving $$$ to OLOL?

Drum is beating....loudly.

Yet in his original piece I did not see where he defended Wade or suggested he be retained. He criticized the way everything was handled and the other major clusterfricks of this administration. He also made the key truth that LSU aid far bigger than its sports team.

Thanks for the education. I'm new on here just to follow this. It's fascinating. Looks like he is trying to reform thing again. Guess it just got bad enough. Word is sponsors are actually notifying LSU that they are cancelling after the 400k scandal yesterday. Ironically the Skinner guy that's LSU lawyer has a sister married to Roger Godell. Not pertinent but probably only guy who would be booed as hard at a Tiger game.
