QuotePropst's surprising resignation as Pell City High's head football coach came the same week his wages were set to be garnished in an ongoing legal matter with his former wife, according to court records.

According to their Feb. 26, 2009 divorce document, Propst was to pay $2,000 per month to Tammy Propst until he dies or until his ex-wife "shall die, remarry or live openly, or cohabit, with a member of the opposite sex."

On April 16, 2024, Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Thomas E. Thrash Sr. ordered Propst to pay $6,540.50 to Tammy Propst as well as $8,000 in legal fees to the plaintiff's counsel.

The court order also stated Propst owed past due spousal support in the amount of $106,000 "representing no payment whatsoever toward said obligation of 53 months prior to the court filing." With interest included, the total was stated to be $123,875.

Thrash ordered withholding $2,000 per month of Propst's income from his employer, Pell City Schools, immediately.

That order was officially filed into state court records May 3 --- the same day Propst announced his resignation from Pell City.

Propst deferred to his attorneys but did adamantly say the timing of his resignation was not related to the garnishment. Efforts to reach his attorney were not immediately successful.

Heather Fann of Gregory Fann Turner represents Tammy Propst.

She wrote in an email she was only authorized to say her "client wishes no ill will toward Mr. Propst and is merely seeking compliance with existing court orders."

In the April 16 order, the judge threatened to issue a writ of arrest against Rush Propst, ordering him to serve 310 days in jail for contempt of court for failure to pay the spousal support for 53 months.

However, no writ or arrest could be found

The judge wrote that Propst could avoid civil contempt if he paid $35,000. Records do not indicate whether that amount was paid.

A deposition is scheduled for May 14.

It's been an intriguing three weeks for the controversial Propst.

QuoteMatt Barrie firmly believes Georgia is the clear-cut No. 1 team for the 2024 season.

"Georgia's the runaway No. 1. I would put Texas No. 2... Then I think it's a battle with LSU getting in there and Ole Miss getting in there if you're looking at the pecking order in the SEC," Barrie explained.

Outlook for 2024
Oddsmakers agree with Barrie's initial assessment with Georgia (+190) the favorite to win the SEC at DraftKings and Texas following behind at +320. Ole Miss is third at +700 and Alabama, even under new head coach Kalen DeBoer, rounds out the top 4 at +850.

Setting that pecking order in the SEC also holds bigger than normal ramifications for the outlook for the 12-team College Football Playoff. The SEC champion will be a lock to make the field, but how many teams the conference gets in after that will be something to monitor.

By all measures, the No. 2 team in the SEC — whoever that winds up being —

QuoteBasketball players are always among the biggest men on campus at North Carolina, both in size and stature.

Unfortunately for coach Hubert Davis, there aren't any true big men on campus:

It's not that his 2024-25 team is devoid of height. Junior Jalen Washington is 6-10. Graduate Jae'Lyn Withers and sophomore Zayden High are 6-9. So is incoming freshman James Brown.

The problem is that none of the 4 provide the kind of classic low post presence the Tar Heels need to fill the rebounding and defensive void left by the departure of Armando Bacot.
