Alleged Video Of Adam James Locked In Electrical Closet

Alleged video of Adam James in the alleged electrical closet that he was allegedly locked in by former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach. Allegedly. And presented with appropriate amounts of skepticism.

The YouTube descrption reads as follows: “This video was taken by Adam James, a player on the Texas Tech Red Raider football team on Saturday, December 19th, after being confined by Coach Mike Leach in an electrical closet off the Press Room at Jones AT&T Stadium. James was suffering from a concussion received during an earlier scrimmage game. James was ordered to stand in the darkness until released several hours later. James momentarily turned on a light to record his surroundings with his cell phone.”

So, is it real? ESPN's Joe Schad seems to think so, and Sports Illustrated's Andy Staples says that the "link was provided by James family to WFAA-TV."

UPDATE: WFAA-TV in Dallas/Fort Worth reports: “This video link was given to WFAA.com by representatives of the James familiy. We have found that it is Adam James in a electrical closet, but we do not know if it was during a practice.”
