July 16, 200917 yr http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20090714/SPORTS03/907140376/1029/State+might+help+pick+up+UK+s+tab+in+Gillispie+suit UK athletics should foot the entire bill for this error.
July 16, 200917 yr That's EXACTLY what the State of Kentucky's tax money should be spent on... If UK has enough money to pay the likes of John Calipari, they have enough money to pay off Gillispie... What a joke.
July 16, 200917 yr I like that comment about finding out which representatives vote yes on this. I'd like to eject any one of them immediately. UK absolutely should foot the bill, not taxpayers.
July 16, 200917 yr The majority of UK basketball fans would've voted for a tax increase if the difference went to firing BCG.
July 16, 200917 yr This is ridiculous the University of Kentucky is a complete joke and takes advantage of this state and her people every chance they get!
July 16, 200917 yr The majority of UK basketball fans would've voted for a tax increase if the difference went to firing BCG. Because the majority of UK fans probably don't pay taxes...:sssh: I bet those of us who would actually be footing the bill wouldn't vote in majority to pay for UK's lawyers. I hate to think of what a tax we'll see if they lose the case and we have to foot the bill for his "contract". Pitiful.
July 16, 200917 yr The money is going to the law firm; Fischer & Phillips, LLP Attornies at Law Dallas, TX. The contract runs from June 23, 2009 to June 30, 2010.
July 16, 200917 yr On what I'm reading, if I'm correct, Insurance Reimbursement 100%. They are being charged $275 per hour.
July 16, 200917 yr OOPS!! forgot the link where I found my info. http://www.lrc.ky.gov/statcomm/contracts/2004%20Keifer%20Data%20Base/psc/090700.pdf
July 16, 200917 yr Why in the world wouldn't UK athletics pay this? Well that is part of the issues of the lawsuit. The UKAA is saying that Gillispie was an employee of the University, and not the UKAA, although Gillispie's W2 says otherwise.
