Norman (LTP) – Earlier this month, Courtney Paris received national attention for a guarantee that the Lady Sooners would win the Women’s national championship. Last week, however, the Sooners were bounced out of the Big 12 tourney in the semi-finals.
Today, during AIG CEO Edward Liddy’s testimony before Congress, Liddy stated that the Sooners loss to the Texas A&M in the Big 12 tourney constituted a “technical default” on Paris’ guarantee to the Sooner nation. As a result, the troubled insurance giant has paid the University of Oklahoma approximately $64,000.
Paris was unaware she purchased an insurance policy regarding the guarantee, prompting further calls into oversight of the operations of AIG.
