| 0:16.9 | We left you last night with the breaking news from Tusker Lutton. That's where we begin today on the day after. A lot of repercussions. As a result of this, this is a headline from A.L.com. Lead columnist Michael Casagronde saying the NCAA was right on Bettyaco and it wasn't close. That's a little bit different |
