Penn St. 2.0?

[Jarid in Cedar]

It's where Utah gets their coaches and university presidents.

And in shocking news, other sides to the story are starting to surface

This is a former swimmer from the 2006-2010 teams. The only logical conclusion that can be drawn is that he is lying, as is the father of the primary antagonist. Reality falls somewhere between.

Ummm... I'm not sure that interview helps the case or the "other side"..

He admits he never was contact during the time he was there but they state a substantial amount of the swimmers were questioned.. Admits a swimmer did blackout and was attended too as if it was no big deal. He didn't seem to be the best interview..

You are not a very good troll. But I agree that it means the U doesn't give a rats ass for what other people think

Why do you think it's a good idea to have people investigate wrongdoing at the school who graduated from and likely love said school? Do they donate at all to the school? Is there a conflict of interests?

I'm sure they're capable of doing a fine job, but it sure gives the appearance of impropriety.

I don't think it would be that difficult to find someone who didn't attend the University of Utah who is a lawyer and can investigate this. Whether or not you agree with who they chose, can't you see that it could appear badly that they've chosen their own alumni to perform this investigation?

Aside from the investigation, why can't the good doctor tell us now what he knew and when he knew it? That doesn't seem too much to ask. When did he first become aware of the issues with the swimming coach? What did he do about it? This has all gotten a bit too lawyerly, as if people are hiding something and playing for time.

Maybe scratch could reach beyond his obsession with BYU scheduling and FOIA some records to try to answer these questions.

At the risk of drawing fire from JIC I have to wonder what Larry Scott is thinking of his decision now. This has not been the greatest entrance for either Colorado or Utah.

They say they are having an external group look in to it, however that group is led by 2 all star attorney's that graduated from, you guessed it, the University of Utah.

Indiana University (B.S., 1975)

Alan L. Sullivan

I'm putting as much stock in this interview as I do in this former swimmer's post:

Alan L. Sullivan

Michael Glazier: Specializes in defending universities in NCAA compliance cases.

Alan Sullivan: U of U alumni Board of Trustees as recently as 2011.


Personally, I don't think either of the two is necessarily wrong to include on an independent investigative team, but you would think the U could have tried a little harder.

I don't see any way Sullivan will lead the investigation. He's surely just the local guy -- admitted to the bar in Utah, understands the local culture, etc. When I handle something in another state I want a local guy too. Yes, Sullivan got his J.D. at Utah and has ties to the U., so I can see what you are saying. Keep in mind that Sullivan's considerable reputation is on the line and he has to get this right. The other guy isn't an alum and has an even bigger reputation to protect. Besides, I'll bet the final product will be lengthy and detailed, and any whitewash would be easy to expose. I suppose some people will regard the final report with suspicion because one of the lead lawyers went to the U., but such people will find something wrong with the report anyway.

I doubt he cares.
