If you are looking for a great cellphone plan, give the University of Missouri athletic department a call.
The department sold 25 used cellphones for $190 to Mike Bellman. He got more than old phones, however. The Associated Press reported that the phones included old text messages to and from basketball coach Mike Anderson, football coach Gary Pinkel and athletic director Mike Alden. E-mails and contact numbers also were on the phones.
The university offered to buy them back, but Bellman said he hoped to sell them to a sports collector. Bellman did not immediately return calls and e-mails from The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Athletic department spokesman Chad Moller said all information will now be wiped out of phones before they are discarded.
