[Big Five-0-]

all good fun until you realize haywood won that deal. now his turfs paid for and he can sell the naming rights a second time. daryl mccoy field at haywood stadium coming soon.

What???

this was a lose lose all the way around.  A lot of good folks lost a lot of money….duped by people they knew and trusted.  Someone or some entity had to pay the balance owed to the turf company.  That debt just didn’t go away.  I’m guessing loans had to be secured to pay it off, because the turf committee was about $90,000 shy of the total amount due when  these two “con men” made financial promises to pay it.    This has been a fiasco.   Absolutely nothing positive from this entire situation.

You seem in touch and close to the program in some way?
I’m almost 70 years old and have never seen anything like this outside Prestonsburg a few years ago.

Why is this happening now? The timing of the Duh and Duh Sports release is very suspect about all the kids leaving.

Will more kids leave? Would have changing the boys basketball/baseball coach and girls basketball coach prevented this? I knew that basketball hire would cause issues but the ones I thought that would transfer are still there, I think.

IMO, the transfer situation is the result of a perfect storm that has just settled in over BHS.    Folks in some administrative and coaching positions ( girls and boys)  (not related to football) have  completely lost the building so to speak.   Parents and students have been turned off by both due to a multitude of issues.  I’m sure some of the issues are valid….and I’m guessing some are petty.   Goes  without saying. Additionally…. With David Jones going to MC….several kids …especially those who play multiple sports have went back across the river to play.   

Those decisions are not tied in to the football staff IMO….but the issues with the other sports in the building are directly impacting and making these decisions easier to be made.  

The federal indictments that were levied on the two individuals who had direct ties to the Belfry area is a complicated and completely different issue, but is intertwined in the fact that monies were “promised” to pay off the turf ….but those funds never materialized.   Those two folks just stole money thru a maze of fake LLC companies to dupe and launder money for their Ponzi scheme.     

If I’ve missed something ….maybe some others posters can fill in the blanks.

With all the issues going on with the administration, coaching, students transferring, the alumni, community, and fans didn't need this separate issue. Really do hate to see this happen to good people and these student athletes.
