Lee Todd has your back

While that's all fine and good, the sexier storyline from the Tipton article is that Lee Todd said he plans to personally discuss NCAA President Mark Emmert's public comments about Kanter with him.  According to Todd, he chatted with Emmert about the reasoning behind Cam Newton being ruled eligible before UK submitted their "new information" on the case.  Based on that little revelation, you can see why he's so frustrated with what he has already called "inconsistent and abritrary".  Because we know you want to know what is said and because we're so committed to giving you the best UK coverage on the planet, Drew Franklin sent President Todd a new belt for the convention. Go get 'em, Lee!
