Funny Gene Smith Story

True Story...

I called the Cardinals office a while ago (at the behest of my wife) to see if what the security would be like, and what could be brought into Sun Devil.

I guy I talked to, who was probably just a ticket guy or something, told me it was up to ASU to determine the security standards. So the Cardinals guy gave me a number "at Sun Devil Stadium".

So I call the number, and a female voice on the other side says "Gene Smith's office." Not realizing what has happened, or who I called, I asked her about security and such. She replied with "Why are you asking me?" I told her what had happened, and she started laughing..."figures!" he said. Then he tells me "You had a question about security and they gave you this number? Classic!"
I then asked what number I had called, and she said "You just called Dean Smith's office, the Athletic Director for Arizona State University."

boy, was my face red!

They have a million dollar budget shortfall at it is. 27 people have already lost their jobs, now the Cardinals are going for the jugular.

You're right. It was alternative dispute resolution with apparently no dollar figure or settlement involved in the decision.

Hmmmmm

The Cardinals want 21 million bucks from ASU....the Cardinals have given out about 21 million bucks in signing bonus money :eek:

Rod Graves, "Ugh, don't cash that check until the 15th boys."

Since ASU can't balance their athletic budget, they should be allowed to violate contracts at their discretion?

I was refering to the reason why Gene Smith wasn't happy

Gene Smith wasn't the AD at the time this spun out of control. It was his White, who's now at Notre Dame.

910 is all over this story right now.
