Myles Brand Death

Myles Brand has died at the age of 67. Brand was the NCAA president after losing his battle with cancer. He also was the President of the University of Oregon during the 80s. ESPN reports:

As the first former university president ever to run college sports’ largest governing body, Brand worked to change the perception that victories superseded academics in college sports.

He broke the news that he had cancer in January at the NCAA convention and continued to run the organization’s day-to-day operations, despite undergoing treatment.

The NCAA announced his death. Officials were not ready to announce who would replace Brand or when they plan to search for a successor.

Brand gained national attention in May 2000 when he put Knight on a zero-tolerance policy after a former player alleged the hugely successful but hot-headed coach had choked him during a practice years earlier.

Trenesha Biggers Pics

Check out here a picture of Trenesha Biggers from the Kurt Angle case. Trensha Biggers’ alter ego is wrestler Rhaka Khan. Kurt Angle has been found innocent of the four charges she presented.

Here is what Kurt Angle’s lawyer said on the Trenesha Biggers case:

“Unfortunately the PFA (Protection From Abuse) process allows women - and men on occasion - to fabricate a tale to intake individuals within the court system without any corroborating evidence whatsoever.

“The result is that innocent people are served with PFAs that did not do anything.

“In Kurt’s case, that is precisely what happened. The women involved has no injuries, was not threatened and absolutely no conflict occurred. We are confident that once a court actually hears the evidence, the PFA will be dismissed.

“In addition, the alleged violation of this PFA was said to have happened at a Starbucks minutes after Kurt was served with the original paperwork.

“It was only by happenstance that they were in the same place to get coffee. They did not speak and Kurt did not know she was present.

“As for the allegations of driving under suspension and possession of prescription drugs, simply stated, the drugs are properly prescribed by his physician. They are legal. “In addition, despite the fact that Kurt was found not guilty of DUI, the Commonwealth has still attempted to suspend his license for refusing the blood test requested by the officers. He has appealed that decision and that appeal is under appeal to the Commonwealth Court. This appeal acts as a stay on his suspension.”
