Squid Wrote:Well, in fairness to the people at Rose Hill, the KHSAA should ask him one question - "Do you have any evidence of such payoffs"?
If the answer is no, then he has to understand that his credibility is taking a massive hit.
If the answer is yes, then he should provide it, and the KHSAA should impose some seriously stiff penalties.
I have to say, though, that his evidence should have to be pretty solid stuff, such as photos or video. Anything less, should be taken with a grain of salt - and his other charges should then be looked at with a pretty jaded eye.
I've avoided this thread because of the amount of misinformation posted to date. However, I do feel that I need to clear up one issue.
Fuller received the Garnes Scholarship which was given by the Garnes family in memory of their son, David, who died during basketball practice when both he and Fuller were sophomores. Fuller and David were best friends. Fuller spoke at David's funeral. Fuller even had David's name tattooed on his arm.
The Garnes family directed that the scholarship, funded by donations from the general public and by the Garnes family, be given to Fuller for as long as he was at Rose Hill. Fuller had told the Garnes family as well as others that his father would no longer pay his tuition and he would not be able to stay at Rose Hill. His tuition was several months in arrears at the time. Fuller received the scholarship for his entire sophomore, junior, and senior years.
Fuller quit the basketball team early in his senior season. He still received the Garnes Scholarship up until the time he graduated. Basketball played no part in it.
KHSAA has found wrongdoing in the giving of the Garnes Scholarship to Fuller because they claim he did not officially apply for the scholarship and it wasn't made available to the general student body. They are unimpressed by the fact that the Garnes directed that Fuller receive it in memory of their son- Fuller's best friend.
Fuller, in a sworn statement, states that he never received any scholarship from the Garnes family. The KHSAA investigator has chosen to believe Fuller's account although documentation to the contrary has been submitted.
These are the facts.
