Well he apparantly had time to read the email and then respond to it:wink:
Like I said, it would take him less than 10 minutes to make a call/send an email to Chris and clear this mess up if he didn't in fact say these things.

A couple of last points from me about this.
Why should Pollard respond? The burden of proof is KXNO's to prove that this is a legit email they haven't proven it, and there have been several posters on here who give pretty good reasons why it isn't a Pollard email.
Innocent until proven guilty probably doesn't apply here, but it seems like it should.
I believe Ken Miller has tried to email Mr. Pollard but that didn't illicit a response. I think those who are denying that our AD did send it, are choosing to deny the existence of a thin-skinned AD.
I don't think KXNO would have gone on the record with this if they didn't think it was legit, and Pollard doesn't really seem like the kind of person who wouldn't respond to something like this.
Mess, what mess? And if the email was sent in the first place, how could Pollard have read the email?
I'm saying this guy made up Pollard's response email and dupped KXNO, Miller, Miller, Deace and Matt into putting it on KXNO Web site.
I say KXNO, Matt, Miller, Miller and Deace perpertated a fraud in order to drive up listenership and punk Pollard at the same time knowing Pollard wouldn't say anything.
And all it would take to prove me wrong is to have those guys either post their evidence that it is indeed a real email from Pollard, to call/send me a personal message in order to prove that they thoroughly investigated this and show me the proof.

:biglaugh: Yeah because ANYTHING posted on a Web site blog HAS to be true, right?
You don't think that if it was a fake that something wouldn't have been said by this point? If it's a fake, Pollard and/or the ISU athletic department could sue KXNO for defamation, libel, or slander couldn't they?
I see. I understand your point about innocent until proven guilty but if players aren't allowed to be why should the people that actually get paid be allowed to be? Like it or not when you sign up for a job like that, innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply (in terms of consequences, not in terms of legality)

And their journalistic standards are high. After all, Jon said once that they don't just try to stir things up to get attention. Amazingly, right after some of us were posting here that he does exactly that.
And then the show got more sensational....
You think KXNO would just go on the air with something like that without checking first? Never mind that they posted it - they had to get it, talk about it, and probably get station management involved in the discussion before they decided to go on the air with it.
Matt didn't have anything to do with it, was Miller and Deace that went on the air with it first, and posted it on the KXNO website.

Yes, they are in the market to get listeners not to be correct. Didn't is say some where that Miller wasn't comfortable putting it up?
Of course he did - the point is that the cat was all ready out of the bag by then. If this had first been "reported" on Perraults show, and it was on his website, I'd be a little more skeptical. I'm willing to give guys like Jon and Steve a little more rope, because they seem like the type would do their due diligence before going on the record.
