I suspect everyone can understand the idea of someone getting p.o.'d at something, and taking action. But, given who and what is at stake here, I think most of us would imagine that Shelby might decide to start up a new club and have nothing to do with the old one. To go well beyond that, however - to attempt to shut down SAAC altogether, adopt its trademark, demand to have things back that he willingly gave the club, and completely ignore the fact that this has been his best and biggest booster club for over 30 years, which directly relates to the fame he enjoys today - is astonishing. Shelby has plenty of $ and knows his way around a lawyer's office; he probably knows the same is not true for SAAC. The fact that this wasn't worked out months ago, given the long history between the parties, is pathetic.
