Not WAC-related but fascinating

Who will reside on Coach Steve Alford's basketball squad come October is the subject of a fascinating discussion in The Land of Enchantment/Albuquerque area.

That's because Alford appears to have -- or will have -- one more player than scholarships allowed and who is presumed to be the odd player out has written a public plea to remain a Lobo.

Here is a Jeff Eisenberg article on the subject, including a copy of Brown's appeal.

Here is Mark Smith from the Albuquerque Journal covering the same territory.

PTW asks: was it a genuine plea and admission of guilt, an attempt to put Alford in a difficult position, both or neither? But how could going public have any positive effect in this matter?
