…but Tech is run by Engineers
the finest in the land!


Today, like all days, is a great day to be a Yellow Jacket. And a sad day to be a poochie-woochie.

Reason #85,152: National Awards

Each year, various organizations present national awards to the best in their category. For example,

The best college football player: Heisman
The best college football head coach: Dodd
The best college football assistant coach: Broyles
The best college athletic director or conference commissioner: Homer Rice

Some may say that the above runs the gamut of college football excellence, the best of the best at every phase. And every single award is named for a Georgia Tech personage.

So what awards are named for great UGA personages? Anyone? Bueller?

I think we should help our brothers to the east. If you look at their history and examine one thing they do well we find they have a legend on campus, a titan who single-handedly has kept the University of Georgia competitive.

I think we need an Ed Tolley Award honoring outstanding legal maneuvering on a college campus.

How Herculean a task does Ed face – day in and day out? Consider this. A few years back a UGA quarterback was accidentally bumped by a 160# student in a bar. This drunken quarterback had two offensive lineman hold the boy still while the quarterback pounded him in the belly and face.

So what does UGA do? Do they expel this miscreant? Do they kick him off the football squad? Surely they must do something… suspension or something!

They make him their quarterback coach after he graduates. Mike Bobo, come on down!

Who do the poochies call when a football player is arrested for shoplifting? Who figures out how to convince the NCAA that a binding letter of intent is not binding, channeling the request through the wrong NCAA office to get the answer they want? Who gets the call when athletes get A’s in classes they do not attend? Who negotiates buyouts of failed coaches that keep them on the golf courses for years to come? Who has to learn a lot more about internet auction services than he expected? Who has to help the assistant coaches with drunk driving situations? Who has to answer inquiries about incriminating credit card slips, “helpful” alumni, and on and on and on? Who has to keep every county judge or magistrate and a majority of the state legislature in his back pocket?

Who has helped the University of Georgia get on probation every four years, but has deftly avoided the death penalty?

Why... I could not name who does Tolley's work at GT. I can't think of a single time that name has ever been in the newspaper. But Tolley... there's a high-profile job.

Ed Tolley, you are a hero! You deserve a national award named after you!

There is no one better at what he does.
 
Nicely done Techbert!

In his distinguished career, Ed Tolley has been involved in some of the most highly publicized criminal and civil cases to come before the courts of Georgia in recent years. Sports fans will recognize Tolley as the skilled attorney who represents the University of Georgia Athletic Association in dealing with the many legal issues facing collegiate athletic programs today. A Texan by birth, Tolley received both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business at the University of Georgia before earning his law degree there in 1975. Tolley has gained great notoriety for his criminal work, some of which he accepted when knowledgeable judges demanded his services to ensure that indigent defendants in capital cases received the best legal defense available. Perhaps less known to the general public is the fact that Tolley is highly regarded by professionals in a number of fields for his work in business litigation. Tolley has used the knowledge gained earning two business degrees to represent clients and win multi-million dollar settlements in cases involving disputes over contracts, proprietary rights and other legal issues. In addition to his expertise in criminal and business matters, Tolley has won substantial judgments for clients with personal injury and wrongful death claims. Tolley was admitted to the Georgia Bar in 1975 and since then has been admitted to practice before federal district and appeals courts as well as the U.S. Supreme Court. As a gifted speaker and highly regarded authority on many aspects of the law, Tolley has presented dozens of lectures and seminars and has authored numerous papers on a wide array of legal and ethical topics. In addition to his role as a partner in the firm of Cook, Noell, Tolley, Bates & Michael, Tolley has been deeply involved in civic and community service as a past president of the Athens-Western Circuit Bar Association, past president of the Clarke County Board of Education, chairman of the Western Circuit Indigent Defense Committee and as an officer in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Edward Tolley (BBA '71, MBA '74, JD '75) of Athens was named a fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers in March. UGA Athletic Association attorney Ed Tolley

Ed Tolley has been a senior partner in the firm of Cook, Noell, Tolley, Bates & Michael in Athens since 1977. A past member of the Clarke County Board of Education Mr. Tolley served as President of that board for two years. A graduate of the University of Georgia with an undergraduate degree in business, a master’s in business administration and a law degree, Ed is a past president of the Athens Bar Association.

Ed Tolley:

I agree that the behavior of the student-athletes, by and large, is appropriate or even exemplary compared to student populations as a whole. I think we also have to recognize that as the incidences of violent behavior and drug abuse increase in society in general, there have been increasing incidents of extreme misbehavior by a very small number of student-athletes.

My role for the University of Georgia has evolved over the past several years, but most recently, has been that of an independent council. That is a scary word to use in this political atmosphere. I think it's a good idea, if you decide to use a lawyer to investigate any incidents, that you do use an outside lawyer because the report that the lawyer renders is going to be microscoped by the media in general. So, I think it's very important that we proceed, at least initially, as an independent report.

If I receive a request from the athletics association to investigate an incident of misconduct by a student-athlete, usually, beginning with an arrest for either a misdemeanor or a felony, then what I normally do and I usually advise other counsel and investigators to do this is, to get the facts first. That means, getting the police reports, interviewing the police officer, talking to the student-athlete affected and any particular witness and find out, most importantly, how the prosecutor is going to view the incident, because a lot of times, through cooperative efforts with the prosecution, a lot of these matters can be resolved before they get out of hand.

My primary responsibility in investigating these matters is to provide to the athletics director and to the head coach of the affected sport information which is as accurate as possible in order to effect the appropriate disciplinary resolution. I want to mention that the University of Georgia, through a directive from Coach Dooley, has adopted a new policy which is still getting fine tuned, but which is very simple in its application. That is, if a student-athlete at the University of Georgia is arrested for a felony, from this day forward, that student-athlete will be immediately suspended, followed by an investigation that's going to be conducted either by myself or someone like me immediately, with a report back to a committee comprised of senior athletics officials and a representative from the university's faculty to make recommendations to the athletics director on the appropriate disciplinary action. In other words, whether the student, given the serious nature of the offense, should remain suspended or, whether there is sufficient doubt or mitigation that another approach to the problem is sufficient.

If a student-athlete is arrested at the University of Georgia for a misdemeanor, which we all know what that means, it's a drinking offense or loud, boisterous behavior, it's generally within the purview of the head coach of that individual sport to determine what disciplinary action is appropriate in the interim and beyond. There is a catch clause, and that is, if the misdemeanor is an extreme act of misbehavior, detrimental to the interests of the university athletics and the university in general, then either the athletics director or the head coach can recommend and impose immediate suspension which is then triggers an immediate investigation and review proceeding.

If I understood what Coach Dooley told me correctly, his vision in doing this is to put an end to the ambiguity that exists on behalf of the students in knowing where they stand in the event they put themselves at risk or put their university at risk.
 
Verron Haynes
Haynes threw a cellular phone against the wall of Gowdy's family housing apartment, then called her eight to 10 times from across the street after leaving.
Haynes then followed Gowdy to a Marriott Courtyard hotel on North Finley Street where she was visiting friends, banged on the door at 4 a.m. and demanded to be let into the room, Richbourg said.
Haynes' attorney, Ed Tolley, told Lawrence that Gowdy has since graduated from UGA and moved to Atlanta with her child, where Haynes has obtained visitation rights. Haynes has also attended a family planning seminar and seen a psychologist for anger management since the incident, Tolley said.
There haven't been any problems since this day, your honor," Tolley said.

Michael Lasseter
No University of Georgia football for a year is among the penalties Michael Shane Lasseter will pay for his security-breaching escalator run at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport.
Lasseter, 33, pleaded guilty Wednesday to two criminal trespassing charges in the Nov. 16 incident, which sent authorities into such a panic they closed the world's busiest airport for three hours.
In addition to the football ban, Clayton County State Court Judge Morris Braswell ordered Lasseter to serve five weekends in jail, perform 500 hours of community service and be on probation for two years
Lasseter's attorney, Ed Tolley, used a half-dozen witnesses to praise Lasseter's character and tell what life has been like for him and his family since Nov. 16.

Bill Harper/Leon Perry

Harper told the newspaper that he met with Lang while having lunch in the spring of 1999 with Leon Perry, a former assistant at Georgia.
"So at some point during the lunch, Leon got up to go to the restroom and I asked Lang, I said, How is Georgia looking at signing Means? And he said, 'They're looking good if certain things happen."'
Harper said Lang wanted two Ford Expeditions for himself and his assistant coach, $60,000 and a new house for Means' mother. Means' mother is not accused of wrongly profiting from her son's football talents

Georgia is conducting an internal investigation into all the allegations in the Mean's case, including that a representative of Georgia paid $4,000 for an official visit from Means. Athens attorney Ed Tolley, who is conducting the investigation, could not be reached for comment.

http://postherald.fanaticzone.com/stories/081001/rec_08100120455.shtml

In another development, Athens, Ga., attorney Ed Tolley told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that his preliminary investigation uncovered no wrongdoing by the University of Georgia in its recruitment of Means.
Kirk said Lang was paid $4,000 for getting Means to visit Georgia. Kirk also said former Georgia assistant Leon Perry was presented a financial offer for getting Means to sign with Georgia. Perry has denied receiving an offer, but two SEC assistants confirmed they were given such an offer.
Attempts to reach Tolley, who was hired by Georgia, were unsuccessful Tuesday.

In another development Friday, attorney Ed Tolley, who is handling Georgia's internal investigation into its recruitment of Means, said the school may self-report some minor violations.
Tolley said Georgia is checking whether Lang and Kirk received extra benefits during Means's official visit in December 1999.

Ken Veal

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia defensive lineman Ken Veal has been charged with assaulting two women outside a 24-hour restaurant in downtown Athens.
A magistrate judge issued an arrest warrant for Veal, 20, Thursday on misdemeanor charges of simple assault and simple battery.
Amy Manier and Mary Alyson Henry, both 22-year-old students, testified that Veal punched both of them in the face June 4 during a late-night argument outside The Grill, a popular diner near the University of Georgia.
The women said they were standing in line at a hot-dog vendor when a group of men surrounded them. A third student, 18-year-old Drew Provost, said he was punched several times by different men when he swatted at the finger of a man who was yelling and pointing at him.
Manier and Henry say Veal assaulted them when they tried to intervene.
Veal did not testify. But two other women told the judge that Veal couldn't have been involved in the fight.
Nikhol Beard and Mia Morton said they were with Veal and two other Georgia players at a bar two blocks away when the assault allegedly occurred.
Magistrate Judge Laura M. Jack issued the arrest warrant in spite of the conflicting testimony. "I've come to the conclusion the girls are telling the truth," she said of Veal's accusers.
Athens attorney Ed Tolley, who watched the hearing on behalf of the Georgia Athletic Association, said he was shocked the judge issued a warrant.

1997 UGA Football Probation

The NCAA's charges
against the University of Georgia

The NCAA's official inquiry of the University of Georgia football program asks that UGA respond to these 10 allegations:
Jan. 8, 1995: Former Georgia assistant coach Frank Orgel allegedly told a prospect during his official visit to UGA he would receive $5,000 if he signed a scholarship with the Bulldogs and $300 a month once he enrolled. The NCAA alleges Orgel later raised those amounts to $7,500 and $500, respectively, and offered an automobile to the prospect after he verbally committed to another school.
December 1994, January 1995: An unnamed representative of Georgia's athletic interests allegedly offered a prospect $2,000 to sever ties with other schools and another $5,000 to sign with Georgia. The representative also offered the athlete an automobile, promised to relocate the prospect's mother and arrange employment for her in Georgia and provide her with transportation to UGA games. An assistant coach knew of the overtures but failed to report them to UGA's compliance office, which deals with NCAA regulations.
Jan. 9, 1995: Orgel telephoned a prospect and told him he would be "taken care of" and would receive an unspecified monthly allowance and eventually be provided with a truck. That prospect eventually signed with another institution.
November 1993-February, 1994: Palm Beach County (Fla.) sheriff's sergeant and youth sports director Dan Calloway allegedly acted as "a representative of athletic interests" by encouraging South Florida prospects to visit Georgia. The NCAA alleges Calloway provided cash, meals, transportation and gifts for the prospects, offered money and assistance to a prospect's grandmother and obtained high school transcripts for UGA coaches.
June 12, 1994-July 23, 1994: Calloway on three occasions paid for prospects to attend Georgia's football camp, including airfare and bus tickets, lodging, camp fees, meals and spending money. For one camp, Orgel telephoned a person who was to attend the camp and told him that Calloway would pay transportation and camp expenses. Calloway paid the expenses for that person.
October, 1994: Calloway paid for three prospects to visit the UGA campus, including roundtrip airfare, meals, lodging and spending money. Calloway transported two prospects to the Vanderbilt game.
1994-95 academic year: Calloway provided cash and tickets for professional sporting events to UGA prospects.
November 1993-January, 1995: Calloway provided a UGA prospect as much as $1,000 cash.
January, 1994: A member of the UGA coaching staff arranged for three Georgia players to drive from Athens to Sandersville in order to visit a prospect and encourage him to attend UGA.
Frank Orgel: Orgel failed to maintain "high standards normally associated with the conduct and administration of intercollegiate athletics and violated the provisions of ethical conduct."

INVESTIGATION TIMELINE

November, 1995: NCAA begins preliminary inquiry into Georgia's football program.
June 11, 1996: NCAA sends a letter of official inquiry to Georgia President Charles Knapp and moves forward with full-scale of alleged violations in football program. Georgia is given 90 days to respond to the allegations.
July 26, 1996: Athens attorney Ed Tolley, who is investigating the NCAA's claims on UGA's behalf, asks for to extend the university's response deadline from Aug. 16 to Sept. 27. The NCAA grants the extension.
http://www.athensnewspapers.com/1996/110196/dog.charges.html
Georgia seeks second investigation extension
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Georgia has asked for a second extension of its deadline for responding to 10 NCAA allegations of wrongdoing in its football program.
Georgia's response was originally due Aug. 16, but the school was granted an extension until today. Now Ed Tolley, the attorney hired by the school to formulate its response, has asked for another extension until December.
Tolley said he needs more time to investigate five allegations involving Florida youth sports organizer Dan Calloway, whom the NCAA alleges acted as an "athletic representative" for Georgia in 1994.
"Most of the time (an extension) is granted," NCAA administrator Robin Green said Wednesday. "Our bylaws say an institution should have 90 days (to respond) ... but sometimes things happen as a case develops."
If the extension is granted, Georgia would appear at the Jan. 31-Feb. 2 meeting of the NCAA's committee on infractions.
That means any sanctions - which could include a reduction in scholarships - would not be imposed until after February's national signing day for recruits.
Tolley said the reasons for requesting the extension were practical, "Yes, great consideration was given to recruiting, but we have to be thorough for ourselves and for the long-term good of the program," he said.

In light of violations, Georgia places its team on probation
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - The University of Georgia on Friday placed itself on two years' probation and recommended that it lose five football scholarships next year because of alleged infractions of NCAA recruiting rules.
The self-imposed penalties, which included reduced recruiting trips, were recommended to the NCAA Infractions Commmittee during a hearing in Phoenix, Ariz., to discuss 10 allegations.
A statement released by the university said Georgia's probation would include a periodic in-person monitoring system and written institutional reports on recruiting activities.
It also recommended a reduction in the number of expenses-paid campus visits by potential players - from 56 to 48 next season and 52 in 1998-99.
The statement said the university would reduce the number of coaches who can recruit off-campus next season by one, and that it recommended a reduction in initial scholarships by five in 1997-98, with overall scholarships not to exceed 79.
It said in 1998-99 there would be no reduction in initial scholarships and overall scholarships could not exceed 82.
The university also has written to Dan Calloway, a Palm Beach County, Fla., youth sport organizer involved in some of the alleged violations, indefinitely dissociating him from the Bulldogs program, the statement said. It also placed a ban on recruitment in Palm Beach County for up to two years.
``These self-imposed penalties we regard as tough, but we think appropriate based on the allegations which we have agreed are substantially correct through our own extensive investigation,'' athletic director Vince Dooley said. ``Certainly, it sends a message that we believe rules compliance should be foremost in intercollegiate athletics.''
The university learned Monday that the NCAA was dropping an allegation involving former assistant coach Frank Orgel. Orgel was accused of promising a monthly allowance and truck to former Lake Worth, Fla., prospect Errick Lowe, who went to Auburn.
Another charge was not officially dropped, but Orgel and former head coach Ray Goff were cleared of any wrongdoing.
The NCAA held firm on an allegation that Auburn safety Martavious Houston was offered cash to sign with Georgia. Ed Tolley, a lawyer representing the university in dealing with the NCAA, said the school's investigation had found no wrongdoing on six of the 10 allegations, including the one involving Houston, Tolley said.

2001 Rape Charges

UGA athletes surrender, post bond
By Stephen Gurr
sgurr@onlineathens.com

University of Georgia football player Brandon Williams, left, and basketball player Steven Thomas appear before Superior Court Judge Steve Jones in Clarke County on Monday. Williams is charged with rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and aggravated sexual battery. and Thomas is charged with rape and aggravated assault with intent to rape. The charges stem from an alleged January incident at McWhorter Hall on UGA's campus.
Joey Ivansco/AP

Three University of Georgia student-athletes charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault at McWhorter Hall dormitory surrendered to authorities and were released on bond Monday.
Tony Cole, a 21-year-old guard with the UGA basketball team, was booked into the Clarke County jail Monday morning on a charge of aggravated assault with intent to rape and posted a $15,000 bond a few hours later.
Steven Thomas, a 21-year-old forward with the basketball team charged with rape and aggravated assault with intent to rape, and Brandon Williams, a 21-year-old football defensive end charged with rape, aggravated assault with intent to rape and aggravated sexual battery, appeared in a Monday afternoon bond hearing before Superior Court Judge Steve Jones, where bond was set at $20,000 for each. Both posted bond and walked out of the Clarke County jail a few hours later. Bonds can be posted by paying a bail bondsman 10 percent of the bond amount.
Lawyers for the three men maintain their innocence.
District Attorney Ken Mauldin told Jones he felt bond should be set in the $20,000 to $50,000 range. Both men's attorneys asked that bond be set between $10,000 and $15,000.
Jones dismissed as ''ridiculous'' a suggestion by lawyers for the two that the defendants be released on their own recognizance, noting the seriousness of the charges.
''He's looking at, if he's convicted, a minimum of 10 years in prison without parole,'' Jones told Williams' attorney, Kim Stephens.
Jones told both Thomas and Williams they were not to have any contact with the alleged victim in the case.
''If she walks on one side of the street, you'll have to walk on the other side of the street,'' Jones said.
No witnesses testified during the 20-minute court proceeding. Williams' mother and grandfather made the trip from his hometown of Moss Point, Miss., for the hearing and sat quietly as a spectator. The two defendants were led into the courtroom by Clarke County Sheriff Ira Edwards. They wore street clothes with leg irons and shackles, a standard requirement for all inmates making court appearances.
A Clarke County grand jury indicted the three last week after hearing evidence presented by Mauldin over two days. A UGA student told campus police she was accosted in Cole's dorm room on the night of Jan. 14.
Thomas and Cole are scheduled to be arraigned April 30 in Jones' court. An arraignment date has not been set for Williams. All three are suspended from their respective teams but remain enrolled at the university. The UGA student judiciary is expected to convene hearings on the alleged assault in the near future.
Ed Tolley, an attorney for the UGA Athletic Association, was present as a spectator at Monday's hearing but did not participate in the proceedings.

Mike Bobo

"I have grave concerns that this particular case is being treated differently," said Mauldin at the outset of the 2 p.m. hearing.
Mauldin, whose office is responsible for prosecuting misdemeanor cases in Clarke County courts, said it was the first time in his seven years in the office that a preliminary hearing had been granted in a misdemeanor case.
Coleman scheduled the hearing after a Friday morning meeting with Bobo's lawyer, Ed Tolley, and Athens-Clarke Police Chief Jack Lumpkin, both of whom asked Coleman to dismiss the charge.
Coleman, Tolley and Lumpkin denied that Bobo received any special treatment.
"It would be available to anyone who makes such a motion before the court," Coleman said.
"Our judges in this county have always provided emergency hearings," Tolley said.
And Lumpkin said this arrest was obviously unjustified.
"It was clear on its face," he said.
Brian Michaelis, the Athens-Clarke police officer who arrested Bobo as he investigated a reported fight, testified at the hearing that he saw no fight, saw no evidence that a crime had occurred and had no reason to believe Bobo or anyone else in the group had committed a crime.
"You didn't see him do anything illegal?" asked Tolley, a defense lawyer hired by Bobo's father, George Bobo, who attended the hearing.
"That's correct," Michaelis said. "I wanted to detain everyone and see what was going on."
"I'm glad it's over with," said Bobo after Friday's hearing. "It was embarrassing for the University of Georgia and my family, but I knew everything would work out. I'm just sorry it had to take this long and that everything got on TV that I was arrested."
Bobo, 23, was arrested early Thursday at Foxz, a nightclub behind Allen's Hamburgers on Prince Avenue in Normaltown.

Bobo said he wishes now he had stopped when Michaelis ordered him to halt.
"Looking back on it, I should have stayed. I just panicked a little bit," he said.
Michaelis drove his cruiser to the parking lot just before 1 a.m. Thursday after a woman called 911 to report a "serious" fight in the parking lot.
"It was like they were killing each other," the frantic caller said in a 911 tape Mauldin played at the hearing.
After Bobo ran into the nightclub, Bobo "ran himself into a corner, and that's where I apprehended him," Michaelis said. Only after he had searched Bobo for weapons and contraband and examined Bobo's wallet did Michaelis realize he had arrested Georgia's starting quarterback, he said.

HarrickGate:

http://www.onlineathens.com/stories/030103/uga_investigate.shtml

Adams' announcement came a day after ESPN's ''SportsCenter'' broadcast a story in which Cole alleged that Harrick Jr. paid $300 to cover Cole's phone bill, paid for Cole's lodging at Athens hotels, completed coursework in a course Cole was enrolled in at Lincoln Trail Community College in Illinois, and gave Cole an A in a class at Georgia taught by Harrick Jr. that Cole never attended.
Adams spent most of the day behind closed doors with his chief of staff, Tom Landrum, and legal counsel, among others. He would not answer questions about the matter Friday morning, but issued a statement after 6 p.m. promising to ''take definitive and appropriate actions based upon the findings of this investigation.''
In the statement, Adams said he met Friday with SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, Athletic Director Vince Dooley and Ed Tolley, legal counsel to the UGA Athletic Association.
''I have directed Coach Dooley to charge Ed Tolley with the task of conducting an investigation on every aspect of the allegations. Steve Shewmaker, legal affairs executive director at UGA, will join Mr. Tolley in this effort,'' Adams wrote.

(yesterday's AJC)

http://www.ajc.com/uga/content/sports/uga/1103/27harrick.html

Ed Tolley, external counsel for the UGA Athletic Association, said he hasn't "sat up all night worrying" about a letter from attorney Robert Tanenbaum that claimed the university defamed the two former coaches.

In the letter, dated Nov. 12, Tanenbaum claims university officials maliciously defamed the Harricks through a "sham investigation" that led to both coaches' ouster. Tanenbaum said the letter is the first step toward a libel suit.

"The only thing I'll say about it is that it sounded like Hollywood to me," said Tolley. Tanenbaum is from Beverly Hills, Calif.

Harrick Jr. was fired March 5 after the university launched an investigation into charges he gave money and improper academic help to former basketball player Tony Cole. He also reportedly handed out As to several players even though they never attended his class or took final exams.

Harrick Sr. resigned March 28 amid an NCAA investigation into the same matters.

Tolley said Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker is studying whether any kind of hearing would be appropriate in the case.
 
Will Georgia be wearing their "wide striped -black and white uniforms", with the numbers on the pocket, tommorrow, or will they be wearing "the zip-up flourescent orange jump suits" with the numbers on the back???

Does Ed determine that?

Perry Mason wants to know!
