"McAdoo's lawyers will be able to depose people ... potentially key participants whom Wainstein called out for refusing to cooperate, like ... the former interim head football coach Everett Withers.
Withers is now a coach at James Madison University..."
A few weeks ago, he denied the allegations that he refused to cooperate. Pretty weak journalism on CNN's part to put that Withers refused to cooperate as part of the report but did not include his denial that was noted in a number of news sources a few weeks ago.

This is the same Withers that told the JMU QB transferring one thing and then changed the deal without telling the kid or his family. He also refused to honor two offers that JMU made to kids planning on going to JMU.
Never said what is true but if a newssource is going to accuse someone of not doing something, they should at least try to get a comment from them (especially if it is publicly available by Google and the Richmond Times had already printed it).
And right or wrong, unfortunately, the refusing to honor some scholarships is not that uncommon when a new football coach comes in.
