Last month, this post commented on the interesting story of former University of Alabama football coach and current University of Texas at El Paso football coach Mike Price‘s $20 million libel lawsuit against Time Inc. That post ended with the following comment:

“Does anyone else get the sense that Time needs to settle this case quietly?”

Well, Time Inc. has taken that advice and settled with Coach Price.
Time Inc. made a very good decision. Vanderbilt’s football team would have a better chance of beating the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa than Time Inc. would have had of prevailing against Coach Price in a Birmingham courtroom.
