Pressler: Not until after the book was published. “That’s for the next book.”

Question: What good can come out of this.
Pressler: “If you stand by the truth” things will come out alright. His daughter said “if you tell the truth you don’t need a good memory.”
Yaeger: There are an awful lot of universities that have watched this and learned from it, how to handle athletes when issues arrive. “I know that this has occurred at a number of other schools. I’ve been asked about it.” Mentions that Mike Pressler served as a commentator on Court TV and Jack Ford from Court TV is coming in to discuss these issues with Duke.
