Law Firm Prepares To Release Bledsoe Report
KENTUCKY....
The law firm investigating the high school academics of former UK star Eric Bledsoe plans to release its findings next week. Since June 24th, the Birmingham school system has spent over $8,300 on their investigation being conducted independently by the law firm of White, Arnold & Dowd. The Birmingham school system is being billed $275 per hour for attorney fees and $100 per hour for paralegals. The goal is to not exceed $10,000. A story in the New York Times in May questioned the Bledsoe's high school academics at Hayes and Parker. The NCAA visited Birmingham in February checking into Bledsoe's academics and his residency in high school. Bledsoe was selected in the first round of the NBA draft and is preparing to attend training camp with the L.A. Clippers.
