While researching the SMU story from yesterday, I googled Jon “Contract” Koncak’s name to see what the former Mustang was up to these days. Thinking I’d see the typical real estate company or the like, I instead uncovered a secret society wilder than anything in the DaVinci Code. It’s not really about college basketball, but it’s so darn strange I had to report it.

Some random entertainment company called Manka Brothers, which claims to be the world’s “largest media company”, has what is the most wheels off Corporate Board that I’ve ever seen. Not only is Jon Koncak, the man who was once paid more than Michael Jordan and Larry Bird a member, he’s joined by Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, the very blind Jose Feliciano, the whatever happened to her Diahann Carroll, hottie (well, kinda) former Tampa Bay Lightning training camp invitee Manon Rheaume, and a bunch of corporate-type no-names.

The whole thing amused me at first but then became really disturbing the more I thought about it. Any assemblage this random has to be up to some nefarious activities. If there is any better proof than this that there is a secret group of individuals that pull all of society’s strings, I haven’t found it yet.

It’s just strange, really strange. I’m out of words, judge for yourself here

P.S. Check out the jobs section….one has a starting salary of $225k (but they’re willing to negotiate)

1987 was a terrible year for SMU Athletics. Not only did the school’s football team get sentenced with the “death penalty”, SMU’s basketball program, which was rightfully ecstatic about the impending arrival of local product Larry Johnson, were to find out the devastating news that LJ couldn’t qualify academically. Johnson went on to junior college in Odessa and eventual stardom with UNLV, the NBA, and as a crossdresser in his famous Converse ads. SMU’s basketball program took an opposite path, fielding some competitive teams but never really mattering on a national level.

The announcement this spring of Doherty’s hiring was the first real step in bringing the program forward. Doherty’s influence and impact has been immediate, shifting the program from a Continue Reading »
