whatever became of this issue?
__
President Wayne Clough, athletics director Dave Braine and another Georgia Tech official deliberately concealed some of the NCAA violations that led to the school being put on NCAA probation, a former Tech academic adviser alleges in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Tech, already stung by the May 2003 announcement it had dismissed 10 football players from school, decided it couldn't afford the public relations hit it would take from further academic bad news, Shane Olivett's suit alleges.
The suit seeks Olivett's reinstatement and unspecified monetary damages from the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Clough, Braine and senior associate athletics director Larry New. The suit, filed last week in Fulton County Superior Court, represents one side of a legal argument. The NCAA infractions committee found Tech guilty of a lack of institutional control over its athletics program but did not charge the school with intentionally concealing rules violations.

I assume it was dismissed...
believe it did get dismissed strange guy that guy. He was fired enough that he realized he couldn't get another job so he started suing...i guess that's actually a job for some folks.
