I’ll be the first to admit: when I read Pat Forde and Pete Thamel’s piece about the FBI investigation into a sports agency, I nearly did a spit-take when I saw “former Vanderbilt player Wade Baldwin” listed as having had a meal with agent Christian Dawkins, who’s currently under federal indictment.
But maybe we shouldn’t be freaking out about it. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
Christian Dawkins’ expense report lists a $182.57 expense for the Loews Hotel with the notation “Wade Baldwin Meeting” on March 2, 2016. This would have been the day after Vanderbilt’s Senior Night win over Tennessee.
