ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Musa Smith didn’t tell any
one about his father’s misdeeds when he got to
Georgia.
Not his coaches. Not his teammates.
“It was in the past,” said Smith, a junior run
ning back. “1 dealt with it in the past.”
Even atW the events of Sept. 11, Smith man
aged to keep anyone in Athens from finding out
that his father’s Pennsylvania farm was once
dubbed “Camp Terror,” a place where Islamic
radicals were allegedly trained to wreak havoc on
America.
“He’s so quiet,” coach Mark Richt said. “I had
no idea.”
Now, it’s all out in the
open. Kelvin Smith
spoke for the first time in
a decade about his sup
posed ties to terrorism,
putting an uncomfortable
spotlight on his soft-spo
ken son.
“I’m not really happy
about it coming up,” said
Musa Smith, a key play
er for the nation’s No. 9-
ranked team.
A decade ago.
He’s such a strong man. I know
he’s gone through some adversity,
but his true colors came out. Musa is
a great man and a great teammate.
99
Smith’s farm was used as a training ground by
Islamic extremists plotting to assassinate world
leaders and blow up New York landmarks, includ
ing the United Nations and the Lincoln Tunnel.
Musa Smith was only 10 when federal investi
gators told his father that the trainees were anti-
American terrorists. Eight days later, on Feb. 26,
1993, a Ryder truck exploded in the World Trade
Center, killing six and injuring more than 1,000.
Kelvin Smith denies knowing anything about
the terror plot, but was later convicted of dumping
assault rifles in a river and lying to investigators.
As his son finished his junior year of high school,
the elder Smith began his sentence of a year and a
day behind bars.
When Musa Smith got to Georgia, he didn't tell
anyone about his father’s brush with terrorism.
Even though the story was well publicized in
his home state, it appears no one made the connec
tion in Athens, a gossipy college town that seems
to scrutinize every move of its beloved Dawgs.
“I asked him about it when the story came out
and he was like, ‘That was 10 years ago,”’ Richt
said. “It’s such old news. It’s really not fair to
Musa. That part of his life is over with.”
For Smith’s teammates, the only hints were
vague references to his father once serving time in
jail. Nobody pressed him for details.
“I shouldn’t be held accountable for anything
my parents did,” offensive tackle Jon Stinchcomb
said. “It’s the same with Musa. No one knew the
exact details, but it’s not important.”
Smith was primed to have a breakout season in
2001, but he never fully recovered from a groin
injury sustained against Vanderbilt. He missed two
games and couldn’t do
much in three others, yet
still finished as the
team’s second-leading
rusher with 548 yards.
Behind the scenes.
Smith had other issues to
deal with. Last Sept. 11,
he joined teammates in
front of a television in the
McWhorter Hall dormi
tory, grimacing at the
images from New York
City.
He refused to let the
events of Sept. 11 condemn his family or religion.
“What happened was the same thing as people
blowing up abortion clinics,” he said. “They hap
pened to be Muslims on Sept. 11. They’re just
extremists.”
Smith said he’s gotten “nothing but support”
from his teammates and others on campus since
his father’s story went public.
In the season opener. Smith rushed 23 times for
105 yards to help the Bulldogs beat Clemson 31-28.
In the past week. Smith has given no indication
that he’s bothered by his family secret — or the
scrutiny he might face now that it’s been exposed to
everyone.
Stinchcomb doesn’t expect Smith to change,
even if rival fans take advantage of the opportuni
ty to unleash cruel taunts.
“He’s such a strong man,” the lineman said. “I
know he’s gone through some adversity, but his
true colors came out. Musa is a great man and a
great teammate.”

Georgia Offensive tackle
Knight gets lawsuit extension against IU
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) —
Indiana University has agreed
to extend the deadline for Bob
Knight to sue the school over his
2000 firing as basketball coach,
giving him until Oct. 1 1 to make
that decision.
Under state law, the statute
of limitations required Knight to
take legal action by Monday,
the two-year anniversary of the
day on which IU President
Myles Brand tolcLhim he was
being fired.
IU Counsel Dorothy Frapwell
said issues regarding Knight’s
dismissal and contract were still
being discussed with his attor
ney, so it made sense to extend
the deadline.
“We are progressing,”
Knight’s attorney Russell Yates
told the Herald Times for a story
Tennis
Continued from page IB
senior Ashley Hedberg.
Roland is ranked the No. 59 singles
player in the nation and is teaming with
Hedberg to claim the No. 12 doubles
spot. The team finished last season
ranked No. 24.
The fall semester is completely individ
ual action with no team rankings compiled
until January.
“We hope to be in the best physical
shape we’ve ever been in after this fall sea
son,” Cass said. “We also want to take care
of business in the classroom so when
spring comes around we can win the
national championship. That’s our goal.”
Tuesday. “I’m confident we can
get this done.”
Frapwell and Yates declined
to say what specific issues are
being discussed.
Yates filed notice in March
2001 that Knight might sue the
university for wrongful dis
missal, saying he suffered more
than $7 million in damages,
including lost income, mental
humiliation and interference with
employment prospects.
Brand fired Knight for viola
tions of a “zero-tolerance” poli
cy that university officials had
imposed four months earlier.
Texas Tech hired Knight six
months later as its basketball
coach.
Knight led the Red Raiders to
the NCAA Tournament in his
first year at Tech, before losing in
the first round.
Under terms of his contract
with IU, the university continued
to pay his $179,000 salary
through June of this year. He is
also being paid more than $4 mil
lion deferred compensation over
10 years.
On Aug. 30, Knight settled for
$25,000 a separate lawsuit filed
against him by former assistant
coach Ron Felling.
As part of the settlement,
Knight agreed to cooperate with
Felling’s lawsuit against the uni
versity for failure to take action
against Knight despite a history
of “bad acts” by the coach.
Felling had originally sued
both Knight and the university,
accusing Knight of wrongfully
firing him and shoving him into a
large-screen TV.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Texans debut beats ratings from
last year’s Super Bowl in Houston
The Sunday night football game between the expansion
Houston Texans and the Dallas Cowboys had a Nielsen rat
ing of 42.2, which meant approximately 772,935 house
holds in Houston watched the game, which was televised
nationally by ESPN and ran locally on KTRK.
In comparison, the Super Bowl last season drew a 40.7
share in Houston.
ESPN estimates that the game was seen by 8.35 million
viewers nationally which would be the most watched NFL
game on the network in three years and, according to the
Houston Chronicle, one of the most-watched cable pro
grams ever.
