RICHMOND, Va. -- A federal bankruptcy judge has scheduled a hearing for Sept. 5 to determine whether a trustee is needed to oversee Michael Vick's finances.
Vick, the former NFL quarterback, is serving a federal prison term for a dogfighting conviction.
The U.S. Trustee's office has filed a motion asking that a trustee be appointed for Vick, but Vick's legal team disputes the need for one, claiming it is already doing that work.
"We not only are doing the job that a trustee purportedly would do, but we're months ahead of the trustee and making significant progress," said Peter Ginsburg, a New York-based lawyer with the international law firm Crowell & Moring.
Ginsburg, a former federal prosecutor, is in the process of sifting through creditors, tracing Vick's assets and trying to determine which claims against him are legitimate.
Vick filed for bankruptcy protection from his creditors on July 7.
Santoro also asked that David Talbot appear in court next week. Talbot was hired as Vick's trustee and then dismissed after being brought up on securities fraud charges in New Jersey.
Former Cotton Bowl chief Brock dead at 74
DALLAS (AP) -- Jim "Hoss" Brock, a longtime executive director of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association, died Thursday. He was 74.
He died in his sleep early Thursday morning, Cotton Bowl officials said. Brock had been hospitalized since February after the first of several strokes.
A former sports information director at TCU and SMU, Brock served as head of the Cotton Bowl from 1979-92. He then spent one year as the chairman of team selection before retiring. He was elected to the bowl's hall of fame in 2005.
"Brock's greatest passion was college football, and most of all he loved the Cotton Bowl," said Rick Baker, president of the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association. "His name was synonymous with the bowl industry. Texas hospitality was his chief commodity and nobody did a better job of selling it than Jim 'Hoss' Brock."
Funeral arrangements are pending.
