Cary Groth, Cindy Fox Violated Trust Of Athletes, Families
We have been thinking about the lack of leadership displayed at the University of Nevada regarding Rich Merritt.
Both Athletic Director Cary Groth and then-Executive Associate Athletic Director Cindy Fox were 100% aware of Coach Merritt's gross misconduct in June 2007.
Yet they retained him for a full year after that. Groth only terminated Merritt in June 2008 after the NCAA came to town to investigate his misconduct.
So my questions are:
1) If Fox's daughter was paid to engage in crass acts by Merritt would she have retained him?
2) If it was Fox's son that was hit by Rich Merritt would she have retained him?
3) If it was Fox's children whose eligibility was put at risk by Merritt would she have retained him?
Groth and Fox are/were in positions of leadership. Parents entrusted them to look out for the welfare of their sons and daughters.
Groth and Fox went out of their way to retain a coach (Merritt) that the NCAA has banned from coaching at any NCAA institution for the next 2 years. Shameful, disgraceful, and embarrassing.
It is clear that Groth and Fox violated the trust of these athletes and their families, and are clearly not worthy of such positions of leadership and trust.
Note: Groth does not have children. Hence the reference to Fox's.
