Since August 22, 2014, attorney Ron Leadbetter and I have been working on his book "Big Orange, Black Storm Clouds, and More" a history of the University of Tennessee. Ron was hired as the first law clerk at UT in 1971. Since that time he worked in the General Counsel's Office. During his career, he kept detailed notes of cases you will remember hearing about in the news. His book gives a behind-the-scenes look at how things work at a major university.
The book contains 128 chapters. Some of the chapter headings are:
BOB--the Big Orange Boar--how did a Russian boar almost become a mascot for the men's basketball team?
A Pot of Money--Birth of UT Licensing
Elvis Presley and His UT Defense
Phone Fraud Episode
Dumb, Screwy or Just Plain Weird Cases
Pamela Reed Enters the Picture
The Shumaker Presidency
The Bruce Pearl Tragedy: Who Dropped the Ball?
For these and more be sure to buy your copy soon.
