moytoy12 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Frank and/or Rammer brought up jim o'brien. I guess o'brien's daughter and o'brien's son-in-law work within the athletic department. Maybe o'brien has been discussed, but i didn't see anything. Any thoughts on o'brien? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mws26 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I suppose Rammer was right if winning a $2M law suit against your employer is considered vindication. Or, this article is missing details as well: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070413/ap_on_..._ncaa_o_brien_4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
