I emailed Pat Forde earlier today about the thread and he wrote me back:

Thanks for forwarding that -- it's fairly stunning. I actually feel badly for the tipster, who was shouted down and branded a liar.

Anyway, to answer your question: Yes, I am certain the NCAA will conduct its own investigation.

Now, a question of my own: any idea how I can get in contact with Aggiegrant? I'd love to talk to him, whoever he is, off the record.

He is his email:

Holy Schnikes!

He's gonna be famous, and not just on texags!

I'm so proud of the class of 2006.

Ohhh this could be really funny

Bama/Tenn here we come!

Nice.

great...now we are tattle tellers, but we don't have AggieGrant to even step up and do it himself

Are we the Phil Fulmer's of the Big12 South?

Phil Fulmer = coach
AggieGrant = student

We didn't turn them in. Grant did nothing but run his mouth on a message board 6 months ago, and no one took him seriously.

Now he has a chance to run his mouth on a number of public forums and everyone will listen to him.

Either way, it's just going to get better.

You're right.

Rapto, you should go back to posting pics so I know which threads to avoid.

How are we 'tattle-tellers'? Unless you know that AggieGrant is the one that went to the media, you have no basis for that statement.

The whole point of the thread was that Grant was shouted down because he brought more rumor than fact to the table. Now that the facts vindicate him, he deserves respect and apologies.

The thing I take away from this is that Ags are not going to rat out another program until we see some substantial proof of wrongdoing. The standard was not met in AggieGrant's thread until other facts came to light this month that substantiated what he said.

Ok, tell me who Pat Forde is and I'll get excited.

Pat Forde?! He is great, I enjoy his work! Hi Pat Forde....I love you!

ttt

I doubt aggiegrant wants that kind of exposure living in oklahoma.

so why the silent treatment

In another thread he said he couldn't talk about it. I think the proper authorities have already gotten hold of him.

Aggiegrant is the Chris Moneymaker of TexAgs, a true rags to riches story. In fact, I heard he received his $10,000 buy in to the WSOP main event from Ok St.

TTT. Hope Aggiegrant sees this.

Dont email him for free. If your g/f knows some serious dirt that hasnt been reported yet, tell them to break open the checkbook.

Something tells me he's not happy about all the hoopla. Tough to get the cat back in the bag once it's out wether you want to or not.

Baron

Yeah, Pat Forde would certainly break out the checkbook for that.

Reread the thread pal, he mentions that a walk-on was receiving benefits also. With the cloud swirling around Norman I would imagine some media outlet wouldnt mind paying AggieGrant to break some more info.

TTT Mr Grant needs to see this

has he said anything since this broke?

I hope this girlfriend has another job by now since one would think that this may have criminal implications if the dearship's owners were not aware of what managment was doing.

Criminal? I don't think it's illegal to overpay someone.

Texas has a penal statute against recruiting violations. Don't know if Oklahoma has a similar statute.
