This SI.com article reports that Logan Young, a University of Alabama football supporter who was convicted in 2005 for money laudering and racketeering in connection with bribing a high school coach to induce a top high school football recruit to play football from the Crimson Tide, was found brutally murdered in his Memphis, Tenn. home this past Tuesday.
Interestingly, Philip Shanks, a Memphis attorney involved in a lawsuit stemming from the resulting NCAA sanctions over the Young affair, was attacked in his office and left unconscious in May 2004. No one was ever charged in that incident.
Update: Memphis police are now contending that Young’s death was the result of a bizarre accident.
Houston's Clear Thinkers
Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
Tom, the man’s name was Logan Young. Either way, a very curious situation. Interestingly the Memphis police are now saying that this is a “death investigation.” I’m not exactly sure what that means, but this case should get very interesting.
Old news…police have ruled it an accident….no conspiracy here.
