Response to 'A Letter to Deems May' Posted Aug 18, 2011 As far as defending Davis, why is there any reason to do so? The NCAA has made no accusation as to any wrong doing and neither has Thorp or anybody at the University. In fact Thorp stated on numerous occasions that Davis did nothing wrong. The recent expansion of the football facilities was in direct result of Coach Davis and the excitement of the program. (Chapelboro.com)
