That is quite a model. I am not aware of any other college athletic departments that allowed one of their coaches to bring a little boy along to an away game as a “guest” sharing a hotel room with the coach.
You left out the part where Dottie was there (1999 Alamo Bowl) as well. JS was constantly around kids, and involved them in everything he did. This surprised or concerned no one (at the time) around campus or around the University.
