[Guest]

... for using athletic department stationary to write a letter recommending punishment for a former correctional officer. ^^CO I'm suprised this wasn't breaking news on SportsCenter.

I love how they don't put an "apostrophe s" after Saban to make it look like it was an assistant coach. Anything to try and get people to click the article.

What shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, this story got a headline in today's Knoxville News-Sentinel. And, it did make it look like an assistant coach from the way it was written.

What exactly is so difficult for someone working for a professional organization to understand that you NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER write a letter expressing your personal opinion or wish on letterhead of said organization. And you NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER use organizational letterhead to communicate anything not specifically connected to that organization.

I am a partner (one of four) in our business, so in actuality I OWN (along with the other three) the organization I work for, and even I do not and should not write such a letter on our company letterhead.

What in the world was this person thinking? Or more accurately, WAS she thinking? I really would like to hear her explanation for why she thought her using UA letterhead was appropriate.

I agree it is not really a story worthy of Sports Illustrated or some other sports-oriented media, but it should be important to the people in charge at UA.
