Budget Crisis Or Smoke And Mirrors?
Here is some new information on the University of Nevada coach who was convicted of driving under the influence.
Because the coach lost his driver's license, Athletic Director Cary Groth sent an athletic department staff member on team road trips to drive the student-athletes. This led to additional expenses in airfare, hotel rooms, and per diem throughout the entire season; not to mention the time taken away from the staff members actual job duties.
Arrangements also had to be made for local transportation for the athletes since the team trains off-campus. His unlawful violation clearly interfered with his job and cost the university in the thousands of dollars.
So while President Glick cuts employment positions, academic programs, and students opportunities, he is willing to waste university money on a coach, errr role model, who was convicted of a serious offense -speeding away from a strip club with a blood alcohol level of .133.
Hofstra, on the other hand, just suspended their Basketball Coach WITHOUT PAY for the same offense.
Be sure to share this gross waste of university money with anyone you know who is suffering from the state budget cuts. They have a right to know where Groth's and Glick's priorities lie.
UPDATE: HOFSTRA FORCES THEIR BASKETBALL COACH TO RESIGN OVER CHARGE.
UNR, however, continues their support of their coach who was CONVICTED of the same.
