HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Marshall Director of Athletics Christian Spears has issued the following statement in light of a NY Times story referencing his son, Kai, a walk-on basketball player at the University of Alabama:

"I am just incredibly disappointed in the irresponsible and demonstrably false reporting by the NY Times. We are exploring all legal options at this time. I will have no further comment, instead deferring to the University of Alabama's statement on the matter."
