For Flyer and IV, 14 months was after Zach epperly graduates, but with


the coaching change i think we can have a little more open discussion about the Brands VT issue since there is officially no one left.

Dresser was head coach at christiansburg when Matt Epperly was a big time recruit (as was cody gardner). And as you can imagine he has a great relationship with the epperly family, meaning he heard everything going on with epperly's recruitment.

This also meant that he was one of the few people in the world who could offer Jim Weaver actual evidence that Brands had been playing VT and had planned to skip town well in advance of the actual hiring.

Brands and his assistants were recruiting kids to iowa while employed by VT, and thats why we didnt grant the releases. Had we not recruited matt epperly, there a possiblity we would have gone after Tom with legal action, but we were in such dire straights we needed Matt quickly. So we held the kids to the transfer rule. Which is why brands says the move was done to hurt him.
