Key figure in athletes scandal wants his federal indictment dismissed
By Janice Broach
A key figure in the Mid-South auctioning athletes scandal wants his federal indictment
dismissed. Logan Young was back in court Monday. This is a federal case that involves
big time football, the Crimson Tide of Alabama and now a big time football coach, Phil
Fulmer of the University of Tennessee. And Logan Young's attorneys want to force
Fulmer to start talking to them.
Memphis businessman and Alabama booster, Logan Young left the federal court house
flanked by his very high powered attorneys.Young, on the advice of his attorneys,
would only say he didn't do it. "No absolutely not." Young says he absolutely did not
pay 150-thousand dollars to former Trezevant High football coach Lynn Lang to get
Albert Means, who now plays for the University of Memphis, but was on the Bama team,
to sign with Alabama in 2-thousand. Young's attorneys are trying to get the indictment
dismissed for another reason. Attorney Jim Neal said, "We think we have a very serious
motion to dismiss this case because in our opinion, our contention, this is not a
matter for the federal government to be it anyway." Even though the NCAA is
investigating, Young's court case is a federal matter involving the FBI. Young's
attorney Jim Neal is also going after University of Tennessee head football coach Phil
Fulmer, who he said seems to have become Columbo.
In court documents, Fulmer aided the NCAA investigation and Fulmer and the NCAA tried
to keep Fulmer's name out of it. The documents say a witness alleges Young laundered
the money allegedly used in the recruiting through Tunica casinos, and that Young is
worth 2-hundred million dollars. Young's attorneys want to subpoena Fulmer to question
him. "I don't think I should say anymore about that. Mr. Fulmer will have to take care
of himself." Jim Neal says if the case does go to trial, it will be very interesting.
Logan Young is scheduled to be back on Federal Court in April. Former Trezevant coach
Lynn Lang is awaiting sentencing on federal charges in the case. Milton Kirk was
sentenced to 3 years probation, 200 hours of community service and 6 months in a
half-way house. Albert Means is currently a student at the University of Memphis.
