re: Texas pays HS coaches to steer their players to the Longhorns

This story can't be true because that former walk on said Texas is clean

You get charged with contempt of court if you don't respond to a subpoena, not perjury. Perjury occurs when you lie about an issue that is material to the case during your testimony, which means that you have responded to the subpoena already.

Yeah, I kind of thought it was understood that I was referring to testifying. Because I doubt any Texas high school coaches are going to go all Greg Anderson and go to jail for refusing to testify. Although I don't know if it the same for a civil case.

So you think that they'd lie under oath?

And I think they would testify truthfully because they would be under the threat of perjury if they did otherwise.

So was Jose Canseco, Brian McNamee, and every cyclist who has ratted out Lance Armstrong.

Makes it no less true.

So you're willing to tear down established superstars with the broken-down testimony of down-and-out losers who are still struggling for that one last taste of fame?

Likely it's more often than not that what those "star witnesses" preach as the truth is anything but.

I just don't see that with this coach. Most HS coaches in the state of Texas are well-paid to start with. The pressure of keeping the Horns program stocked with first-run talent is likely to be very high, especially with the numbers of UT alums which are all over that big-azz state. UT has always wanted to have everything leaning heavily in their favor to begin with. We saw the results of it in the demise of the SWC, and the near collapse one season ago in the Big XII now minus II.

I hate me some Texas as much as the next guy, but damnit man. Let's not compare apples with oranges.
