Two people involved in UA's investigation of the incident said Brant, who was hired in July, gave approval for the songs to be played.
"I don't really want to comment on that," Brant said when reached by telephone at his UA office. "Nothing to say."
Yeah, I bet he didn't want to comment on that. Neither, apparently, do others connected to the "Serenade Charade" in Tuscaloosa:
Brant's supervisor, Milton Overton, did not respond to messages. Overton, the senior associate athletics director for technology advancement, has final approval of songs to be played at UA football games. The songs were not part of the approved script for the game, according to UA.
And it doesn't end there:
Another UA employee, Amy Eifler, manager of the Production House at the Center for Public Television and Radio, was also involved and worked with Brant to plan the playing of the songs before the game, according to two people involved in UA's investigation of the event. Eifler could not be reached for comment.
Did the spokesperson, Ms. Lane, want to add to her earlier bogus statement? Not exactly:
Alabama responded Tuesday night to questions about Brant's involvement with a brief e-mail from Lane: "We have no further comment."
