@k_shelton I need to read more on the James situation before answering further. I just read part of the @NewsOK article today
@k_shelton Overall I am opposed to the free pass we seem to give successful coaches for inappropriate language and behavior.
@k_shelton I don’t know all the details on the Knight deal but I think it’s ridiculous he was allowed to hand the empire to his son.
