Texas Tech completed an investigation where they interviewed fans in the vicinity, members of the media behind the basket, and reviewed audio & video footage. There was no evidence whatsoever that Mr. Orr called Smart anything but a piece of crap. But, I'm sure you'll claim conspiracy. Demand to have congress investigate before you believe anything.

And I know you will say, oh well I don't believe them. Look, if ANY of these witnesses disagreed with the Texas Tech investigation, don't you think they would let it be known? To ESPN? To other outlets of the media? I can tell you if I was in their shoes, I'd want my story told on ESPN and EVERYONE that would listen if I could confirm that he called him the N-Word. I'd be on the phone right now negotiating with ESPN what payment I would accept to go on TV and tell my account of the incident. I'd be a quasi celebrity for a few weeks. If anything, ANYTHING, someone would be tempted to lie about it and say he did call him that despite the other fans collaboration AND video AND audio footage.
