Now that everyone was back in town, I asked today about a few rumors that had been widely circulated the past couple of weeks:
-
Hunter Yurachek did meet with Mike Anderson at The Blessings Golf Club on Monday, March 25, but they were not with a university attorney. The third individual present was Jon Fagg, who is a senior administrator for the athletics department and the sport administrator for basketball.
-
The plane that landed in Iowa City, Minneapolis, Reno and Los Angeles was occupied by Yurachek. All of those stops included interviews with candidates. I was not able to confirm who the candidates were in those cities.
-
Yurachek first met with the Musselmans on Tuesday, April 2. He had reached out through an agent a few days earlier.
-
During the search, Yurachek did not fly out of or into Drake Field. He used the airports in Springdale and Fort Smith, and never used a UA plane. The plane that was used to fly to Reno yesterday is owned by a Central Arkansas company and departed from Fort Smith.
