Believe what you want to believe. None of what you have stated in your post is going to change my mind and certainly not going to change the minds of others. Let us move on.
Peace

It's clear that your mind is closed and unwilling to consider what the man actually did instead of the rumors an emotions you hold onto. History is full of people who were portrayed with lies and deception to further an agenda. Do you not think it is a valuable recruiting tool for opposing recruiters to use...especially against the most dominant program across the decades?
The points you make...along the lines of so-and-so said this, who heard if from someone who heard it from someone...are, while sensationial and worthy of the National Enquirer, are at best gossip. Rupp is a popular target because he was famous and happened to be on the wrong side of a historic event. The point of him being a racist didn't even arise until 20 years after his death...when it became fasionable to peg people as racists and writers decided to rewrite the Texas Western game as a racial event when none of the participants even agree that was the case.
It would be a lot more fair to pick someone who can defend himself than to accuse someone who can't answer the accusations.
