Martin graduated from Davidson then earned a doctorate in chemistry from Princeton. His academic/educational credentials speak for themselves. He's not a stupid man. Given that he devoted much of his life to a career in politics , it's safe to say he's not naive either. Martin did exactly what unx requested him to do. His "report" was typed-up an' waitin' on 'im the first day he stepped foot in the Loudermilk Center. Everything else was colored bubbles. He's lived in NC a long time and has seen first-hand the influence unx has on just about everything in this state. In his defense , he could be forgiven thinkin' that tptb would do just as they've always done...hide their dirt an' move on while everyone has little choice but to accept whatever unx decides to tell 'em. Since that didn't work out , he's taking this opportunity to get on the right side of history and add some luster to his tarnished reputation. And make no mistake...it IS tarnished. The point is this: for the last 4+ years unx has done everything possible to lie , deflect , deny and obfuscate. Ask yourself this...was the hiring of Martin the ONE moment that unx genuinely wanted to investigate themselves and reveal the truth? Obviously , that's rhetorical. We all know the answer.

No One Scapegoating Hatchell
By Bradley Bethel
When the NCAA leveled devastating penalties on the Penn State football program in 2012, the NCAA also declared Penn State football players would be permitted to transfer without the NCAA’s standard transfer restrictions. Onlookers expected a massive exodus of players, but that exodus never happened. Some players left, but the Penn State coaching staff was able to retain most.
The same cannot be said for the unc women’s basketball staff, and they haven’t even received NCAA penalties yet.
Head Coach Sylvia Hatchell’s contract extends three more years, to 2018. Three other unc coaches, including women’s lacrosse coach Jenny Levy, received contract extensions earlier this summer, but Hatchell did not. Her supporters and other commentators have subsequently claimed unc is denying her an extension because they are scapegoating her for the paper-class scandal.
Yet those supporters and commentators overlook the fact that women’s basketball appears to be losing the entirety of its heralded 2013 recruiting class.
Of the four players from that class, we only know second-hand that one of them chose to leave for reasons related to the scandal. However, having worked with women’s basketball players while I was a learning specialist at unc, I know that some of them were never quite content at unc since the assistant coach who recruited them decided to leave before their first year. A number of players never felt as connected to the remaining coaches.
No one from unc Athletics has blamed Hatchell and her staff for the paper-class scandal, and no one should. Neither Hatchell nor any coach at unc was involved in creating or perpetuating the paper classes. The argument that unc is scapegoating Hatchell is both a misguided attempt by her supporters to shame Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham into granting her an extension, and an intellectually dishonest ploy by anti-athletics crusaders who want to see men’s basketball and football take all the blame.
Hatchell deservedly has had former players publicly support her. From what I know of her, she has been an honorable and successful coach for many years. However, the players whose support matters most are those who will be playing for other schools next year.

"Time for your check-up , Mr. Williams..."
A quick google search can find a picture of Martin shaking Krzyzewski's hand, too. That makes him a Duke fan "don't it." Please. If you could hear him talk about his experience you'd be on his side. K and Martin continue to have a nice friendship. If he's not tainted in K's eyes it seems silly you're beating this drum. I think you are a little out in front of yourself here. I am saying that respectfully, not asking to argue. I just know more than you about this. Maybe UNC is doing a good job of deflecting responsibility. They got you sidetracked, and you're our version of Pack Pride. The so-called Martin Report is already overwhelmed by an avalanche of other findings. Move on. And, you're right, he may have been blind sided, but was he hired?Martin graduated from Davidson then earned a doctorate in chemistry from Princeton. His academic/educational credentials speak for themselves. He's not a stupid man. Given that he devoted much of his life to a career in politics , it's safe to say he's not naive either.

"Every picture tells a story don't it...?"
To be clear: you know more about the scandal, obviously. I know more about The process Martin undertook.
Yeah, because you are Martin or are related to him. Give me a break man. You can defend your relative all you want, but you can't change history. And history will always show that Martin endorsed a report as his own, when he apparently never took the time to review the facts before him. He enabled UNC to deceive the public by essentially pardoning the athletic program. You can talk about how smart he is, but that was just lazy and dumb as hell.
No. It doesn't make 'im a Duke fan. "Context" matters. That's not just a pic of Martin shaking someone's hand. That's a pic of Martin shaking the hand of Wade Hargrove (Holden Thorpe is also pictured) moments following his report. The photo SCREAMS "Job well done , fellas. Who's buyin?'. Look , that day was orchestrated. The findings pre-determined. The entire event was meant to exonerate unx athletics , "move forward ," AND give a ginormous middle finger to abc'ers everywhere. Look , the ex-guvna may be a good man. But good men make bad decisions just like everyone else. It happens.
Doh too? "Apple don't fall too far..."
SMU’s Larry Brown on NCAA investigation: ‘I’m confident we’re going to move on’
“I’m confident we’re going to move on and continue to try to do the right thing.”
If SMU is found to have committed major infractions, it could face harsher penalties as a repeat violator. A 2011 case led to the program, under former coach Matt Doherty, being placed on two years probation for impermissible text messages sent to parents of recruits and failure to implement corrective actions.
This is the third time a program of Brown’s has faced major NCAA charges. After infractions at UCLA and Kansas, both of those programs were hit with major sanctions.

As bad as Roy is , he's got nuthin' on Fedora. Scumbag City. Whaddayaknow? Just in time for first day of Fall camp too. Missed court date but no team activities. What happens if he misses Thursday? No ice cream after a team meal? Dirtiest. School. Ever.....
UNC CB Simmons back with Heels after indefinite suspension
Less than two weeks after he was suspended following a misdemeanor arrest, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill corner Malik Simmons was back with his teammates Monday for the first practice of fall camp.
Simmons was suspended from all team activities on July 24 after he was arrested on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill.
Simmons was arrested at 1:46 a.m. on July 22 and charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest. He was released on a $1,000 secured bond. The arrest report indicated that Simmons, 21, was under the influence at the time of the incident.
The Lehigh Acres, Fla., native was also arrested May 16 in Orange County and charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was scheduled to be in court on both charges Monday, but he was instead at UNC's first fall practice, working with the second-team defense.
Head coach Larry Fedora said it was his decision to reinstate Simmons, a senior. Fedora said he will let the legal process run its course before dishing out any additional punishment.
Simmons appeared in 12 games for the Tar Heels last season, starting five. He has appeared in 36 games over the past three seasons at UNC, recording 86 tackles.

Beginning to think that was Malik's punishment. Seriously. What , exactly , was he suspended from? And dollars to doughnuts , unx and the CHPD have buried the more incriminating details of the shoot-out at The Library. #carolinaway

I knew the IMF was lying. Roy's getting too dang old to do his own stunts. Should have had someone less valuable sacrifice themselves for the hard stuff...wait a minute...Hatchell already has.

Tell your story , mom. Spill some beans...
I raised an NBA Player, but it did not come about in a conventional or easy fashion. Our story starts with my traumatic childhood and the murder/suicide of my parents when I was 19. Also at the age of 19 I became the mother of PJ Hairston. It was a long journey and struggle for us both.
I have decided to embark on a public speaking tour to share the story and talk about experiences that hopefully will inspire others to continue to work hard and overcome barriers.
I have never publically spoken about unc and the time that my son and I had with the University. It is time to clear the air and let people know the perils and pitfalls that can come about playing NCAA basketball.
This tour is not to bash anyone or search for pity, but it is about empowerment, perseverance, loyalty, and family! A portion of proceeds from this tour will be donated to Domestic Violence Awareness.
Thank you in advance for helping me launch a tour that I believe will be a transforming experience for all that attend.
All the best,
Wendy

Only a brief mention of the scandal. Folt still toe'ing the "rogue offenders" company line. Still lying too. In 4+ years , unx has spent millions in PR , redacted everything within sight or earshot , re-hired Lisa Broome , hired Gene Chizik and , basically , done just about everything possible to hold on to ill-gotten gains and avoid serious sanctions. Sans Marvin's tweets , unx would definitely NOT stop any of the cheating that's been exposed so far....
Folt talks college costs at National Press Club
Carol Folt, chancellor at unc-Chapel Hill, was the keynote speaker Tuesday at the National Press Club, where she told journalists, alumni and a CSPAN audience that American universities can do more on affordability for students.
Folt discussed unc’s record on low tuition, the state’s longstanding investment in higher education, and programs aimed at counseling high school students and supporting them when they arrive on campus. She spoke of the carolina Covenant, the university’s debt-free scholarship for low-income students. unc is need blind, meaning it admits students without regard to pay, and it is routinely at the top of Kiplinger’s Best Buy lists.
unc students graduate with about $17,000 in debt after four years, while the national figure is about twice that, Folt said. The unc debt load, she said, is unchanged in the last 15 years in inflation adjusted dollars – despite significant state budget cuts for unc during the recession.
Folt pointed out that she started at a two-year college and worked her way through school as a waitress. Now, she said, climbing tuition is preventing many students from even getting to college. Research shows that the biggest predictor of finishing a college degree is family income; that, she said, is unfair.
“I’ve spent my whole life in higher-ed wanting to fight against these trends and I think that’s why I’ve actually found that southern part of heaven in North carolina because I was actually able to come to the public university that really is doing this in such a deep and strong way,” said Folt, who spent the bulk of her career at Dartmouth College in the Ivy League. She added that she “wouldn’t have any other job in America.”
In a question-and-answer session, Folt touched on other topics, including Confederate monuments, fraternities, campus sexual assault and accountability in higher education. She said K-12 teachers need higher pay and high school students need to spend more time on writing. “The online world probably has not helped very much in good writing or even critical thinking skills,” she said.
She was asked one question about unc’s long-running athletic scandal involving so-called paper classes. She said the former African studies department chairman, Julius Nyang’oro, should have been reviewed regularly. “It’s the great tragedy to look and say, my goodness, we could have stopped it. Well, we would stop it now.”

Dan Kane. "The straw that broke the camel's back?" "Worst academic scandal they've seen in NCAA history?" Hang two more banners. Lol...
U.S. Rep. Holding says Congress too broken to tackle college sports
U.S. Rep. George Holding said Wednesday that Congress is too broken to fix the issues in college sports that have landed the state’s flagship campus in a major academic scandal.
“Congress is broken, we have a lot on our plate,” Holding, a Raleigh Republican, said in a visit to The News & Observer’s offices. “If we can’t fix the things that are solidly within our jurisdiction I have a hard time believing that we can figure out how to fix college sports.”
In recent months, four House members have re-introduced legislation that would create a presidential commission to study college sports. They want the commission to look at athletes’ educations, their health and safety, how college sports are financed and due process concerns when athletes come under NCAA scrutiny.
Rep. Jim Moran, a Virginia Democrat, first filed the legislation at the end of last year’s session. He told the N&O then that the academic scandal at unc helped prompt the legislation, calling it “one of those straws that broke the camel’s back.”
Moran retired last year, and the bipartisan legislation was reintroduced by Rep. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat. It has several sponsors.
Holding, a Raleigh Republican and former U.S. attorney for North carolina’s Eastern District, said he was unaware of the legislation.
He cited Congress’ recent scrutiny of doping in Major League Baseball as an example of being out of its depth. Those hearings produced testimony from prominent players who denied using performance-enhancing drugs.
The scrutiny ultimately put more pressure on the MLB and the players’ union to identify and punish players using such drugs.
Holding and the rest of North carolina’s congressional delegation have said little about the unc scandal, which experts say is the worst academic scandal they’ve seen in NCAA history.
Asked in early 2014 about the scandal, Holding declined to comment through a spokesperson. Shortly after, unc hired former federal prosecutor Kenneth Wainstein to investigate. His probe found 18 years of fake classes initially offered by the administrative manager of the African studies department and then continued by the department chairman.
Athletes made up half of the 3,100 students in the classes, with football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball accounting for the highest numbers of enrollments among athletes. Several academic counselors to the athletes knew the classes didn’t meet and had no instruction, but used them to help keep academically-challenged athletes eligible to play sports.
Holding said if the presidential commission bill comes before him for a vote, “I will spend some time looking at it.”
During the hour-long meeting, Holding said the lack of camaraderie in Congress is preventing members from both parties from coming together to get the public’s business done. He said media coverage is too focused on snarky sound-bites that help foster a distrust of all politicians.
He said the situation might improve if more members of Congress stayed in Washington longer instead of returning home as soon as weekly sessions ended. He said roughly 70 to 100 members are sleeping in their offices, which makes it less likely they will be in town outside of session. (Roll Call reported earlier this year that as many as 70 or more members are bunking in their office.)
Holding said he stays in the same studio apartment he used as an aide to then U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, and that makes it easier for him to be in town on the Mondays and Fridays when Congress isn’t in session.
Washington is an expensive place to live, but Holding said the congressional salary of $174,000 is enough for members to find decent accommodations.
Holding, 47, said he will seek re-election next year for a third term. But he said he has no plans to be a career politician.
“I can tell you I will be finished with this with plenty of time to restart my career in the private sector,” Holding said.

Writes itself , don't it...?
Experience as third-grade teacher helps shape approach as coach
Long before he was Gene Chizik the up-and-coming defensive coordinator turned national-championship-winning head coach, he was Gene Chizik the third grade teacher, an ex-football player teaching math and science and whatever else to 8- and 9-year-olds.
HOW YOU BREAK THINGS DOWN TO A THIRD GRADER, YOU JUST MOVE UP A FEW YEARS AND IT’S HOW YOU BREAK THEM DOWN TO A COLLEGE GUY.
-unc defensive coordinator Gene Chizik
As it turns out, teaching third grade isn’t so different from teaching a 4-3 defense, Chizik said. One might be more complex than the other, but teaching is teaching, and Chizik is using an elementary approach – day by day, lesson by lesson, one building block on top of the other – to rebuild unc’s defense.
“Really and truly, how you break things down to a third grader, you just move up a few years and it’s how you break them down to a college guy,” Chizik said on Thursday after the Tar Heels’ fourth practice of the preseason. “It’s all the same.”

North carolina defensive back Malik Simmons must perform 24 hours of community service after two misdemeanor charges were deferred.
Simmons appeared before Orange County Judge Charles Anderson on Thursday on the resisting arrest and marijuana possession charges.
Attorney Randy Griffin says that by Feb. 4, Simmons must complete the community service, issue a written apology to the arresting officer and pay court costs.
Simmons was suspended from the team July 24 after his resisting arrest charge came earlier that week in Chapel Hill. He previously was arrested May 16 on the drug charge.
Coach Larry Fedora announced his reinstatement Monday when the Tar Heels began preseason practice, saying he would let the legal process play out but adding that Simmons would face "consequences in the future." He did not practice Thursday.

University of North carolina at Chapel Hill academics-athletics scandal
The University of North carolina at Chapel Hill academics-athletics scandal has become known as the largest academic fraud case in NCAA history. It is an ongoing controversy about fraud and academic dishonesty committed by the University of North carolina at Chapel Hill (unc). Following a scandal that began in 2010 involving academic fraud and improper benefits with the university's football program, new accusations arose of academic improprieties with the university's African and Afro-American Studies department (commonly known as AFAM) and men's basketball program. This controversy has also sparked debate about whether the university is educating some of its student-athletes properly and the role of NCAA Division I athletics in colleges.

Re: unc Scandal I _____ hate unc!
Thank you Jakarta. This forum shows me so much love. I'm a big boy. I was wronged by what I refer to as the unc/Princeton/NCAA Knight Commission cartel. They targeted the NCAA cartel. The only problem is the new guys are dirtier than the group already in place. I am not 5254 by the way. I choose to not post anymore long winded things to this site after finding a few honest members who heard my story. I have a hard time telling the story without telling how I know why old men do what they do. I had an influential person tell me "I cannot help you directly, but I can help you indirectly". unc was given SACS probation a month later. Hopefully, next up is 3 to 5 years of postseason bans from the NCAA.

Re: unc Scandal I _____ hate unc!
From what what I am hearing in Indianapolis your hope may very well come true. Every move the NCAA is making right now is framed by current and pending litigation. The NCAA will never publicly admit this, but they are extremely worried that Jenkins could bring the whole operation down. The NCAA has never faced someone like Jeff Kessler, this is the man who beat the NFL.
Also, the NCAA is privately coming to the realization that the "amateur" argument they have used is ineffective when players are forced to go to a press conference and drink water from a Coke cup, etc. The NCAA is aware that the commercialization genie is out of the bottle.
So, that leaves the NCAA's last legitimate argument and that is that athletes are students first and foremost. Below is what keeps the NCAA awake at night:
The NCAA has voluntarily assumed a duty to protect the education and educational opportunities of student-athletes (including the provision of academically sound courses) participating in NCAA-sponsored athletic programs at NCAA member institutions. The NCAA is in a superior position of knowledge as compared to student-athletes and their families on the issues of, e.g., educational integrity and what constitutes academically sound instruction. Indeed, the NCAA purports to collect detailed information from its member schools and conduct independent investigations concerning academic integrity, which illustrates just one of the many ways in which the NCAA has access to considerably more information.
At all relevant times, the NCAA had a duty of reasonable care to athletes and class members to institute, supervise, regulate, monitor, and provide adequate mechanisms to safeguard the education and educational opportunities of student-athletes at NCAA member schools—and to detect and prevent the provision of academically unsound courses to student-athletes.
The NCAA acted carelessly and negligently in its position as the regulatory body supervising the academic integrity of college athletics programs and governing its student-athletes. The NCAA knew or should have known that its actions or its inaction with respect to academic integrity at member schools would cause harm to athletes and class members.
Further, the NCAA knew or should have known from its history and otherwise that the college-athletics environment at unc and other member institutions was ripe for academic fraud.
The NCAA has no other option with unc-CH, they must hit them hard to show they are serious about academics when issues are detected. The NCAA could not use the words "fraud" in the NOA or they would have admitted that they committed the above accusations for 2 decades.

U of M Athletic Director Resigns for 'Behaving Badly'
University of Minnesota Athletic Director Norwood Teague resigned Friday after admitting to sending inappropriate text messages to two non-student university employees.
Teague tells Hubbard Broadcasting that he had too much to drink at a recent university event and "behaved badly towards nice people."
I have taken immediate steps to obtain help with my alcohol issues, and I take full responsibility for my actions."
President Eric Kaler released his own statement condemning sexual harassment in the workplace.
“To be clear, sexual harassment will not be tolerated at the University of Minnesota and I sincerely regret that our employees experienced this behavior,” Kaler said in a letter.
Kaler said the university received two complaints, which both came on the same night.
One of the two female co-workers who accused Teague of harassment said what started out as friendly texting with Teague about setting him up with her friend devolved into Teague pinching her butt and asking if he could perform oral sex on her.
The other woman told school officials that Teague asked her inappropriate questions, rubbed her back and poked her side. Both women said they left the event with others because they feared Teague would follow them.
“This is the first report of sexual harassment the university has received about Norwood Teague,” Kaler said. “He chose to resign once the realization of what he had done came to him.”
Teague said he is entering a treatment plan for his alcohol problem.
Kaler asked the public for their continued support of student athletes and the athletic department as a whole, saying these are the actions of one man, and they don’t reflect university values.
“I’m deeply disappointed in this turn of events,” Kaler said, reiterating that sexual harassment at the U won’t be tolerated.
He had been the athletic director at Virginia Commonwealth since 2006 and joined the Rams after five years as associate athletics director at North carolina.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwood_Teague
Teague paid his alma mater 800 large to get outta their fball series....
Scoggins: U shouldn’t pay $800,000 to avoid a so-so foe
At a time when purse strings are tight, the Gophers are shelling out $800,000 to avoid two football games with North Carolina.
Gophers athletic director Norwood Teague graduated from the University of North Carolina, so he is well aware of his alma mater's reputation as a basketball school.
Apparently, Teague and Jerry Kill operate under the assumption that the Tar Heels suddenly are a football powerhouse, too.
The Gophers backed out of their home-and-home series with North Carolina in 2013-14 in favor of trying to find a lesser opponent. The kicker is even more of a doozy: The Gophers paid North Carolina $800,000 to cancel the series. That's right, an athletic department that struggles to make budget every year is forking over $800,000 to avoid playing North Carolina.
That would be comical if it weren't so pathetic.
We're not talking about canceling a game against Alabama. Or Southern California. Or even South Carolina.
No, somehow Kill has convinced Teague that for the good of building his program, it's wise if they avoid playing a road game against an opponent that presumably resides in their weight class.
"It's a tough decision," Teague said. "It's one that we feel like is part of our plan for building a program. It's one where Coach Kill feels like that playing in the Big Ten is hard enough. We have a young program, and we want our guys to have games in which they can build confidence and do some things rather than playing a BCS program that's pretty good right now. So it's kind of part of the overall plan."
What kind of message does that send to players, fans and alumni? The financial penalty for breaking the contract is bad enough, but it also creates the perception that the Gophers are afraid to test themselves against competent competition before embarking on the Big Ten season. Besides, would a road loss to North Carolina be so detrimental to the long-term plan that it necessitates taking such a significant financial hit?
A 4-0 nonconference record coupled with two or three Big Ten victories might qualify them for a bowl game, but that's hardly a satisfying formula over the long haul.
Good luck selling that one to a fanbase that already has had its patience and loyalty stretched way too thin. The Gophers can't fill 50,000-seat TCF Bank Stadium even for conference games, and they practically beg fans to show up on a weekly basis. They don't give fans much incentive to make that investment, however, when they put together a nonconference schedule that's embarrassingly soft.
Take 2014 for example. Their nonconference schedule features four home games -- Eastern Illinois, Middle Tennessee State, San Jose State and now whatever team they find to replace North Carolina, presumably another pushover.
"I'm always concerned about fans and their following of our program and their opinions," Teague said. "They're so much a part of what we do, so I'm always concerned about them and we take them into account when we do something like this."
Football scheduling is a sensitive issue because coaches and fans usually hold conflicting viewpoints. And the Gophers aren't the only BCS conference team that attempts to fatten its record on cupcake opponents. Everyone does it. But there has to be some limit to that philosophical approach. Kill clearly is determined to build his program by scheduling soft in the nonconference with as many home games as possible.
"If our program was further down the road it would probably be a different deal," Teague said.
Contrary to reports, Teague said he has not finalized a home-and-home series with New Mexico State as a replacement, although he admits the two schools have had discussions. If they reach an agreement and the Gophers play at New Mexico State or a different road game next season, they basically spent $800,000 to play an inferior opponent.
Teague hopes to plug the hole on the schedule with a pair of "guarantee games" -- a one-time deal with a low-level opponent for a six-figure sum -- because that would enable them to offset the North Carolina buyout cost with revenue generated from a home game. That would cushion the blow, but it still doesn't change perception that the Gophers are ducking legitimate competition.
Teague said university President Eric Kaler gave his approval to spend $800,000 (which will be made in payments over several years) to cancel a football series in an era of tight budgets.
"He wants to be smart about what we do," Teague said. "He knows that it's part of what we wanted. Certainly I have to present that to him and tell him why and give a lot of justification. He's supportive, and we appreciate that."
The Gophers probably won't find much support outside of campus. Look, they can build their football program however they choose, but they wrote a big check to avoid playing a middle-of-the-road team in a mediocre conference.
That doesn't inspire much confidence.

Star Tribune's Rayno adds her own story to Teague scandal
When former University of Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague abruptly resigned on Friday amid sexual harassment complaints, some wondered if other shiver-inducing tales would emerge. I knew of one …
When former University of Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague abruptly resigned on Friday and details of the sexual harassment complaints that led to his departure began to leak, some loudly wondered if there were other shiver-inducing tales out there.
Not me. I knew there was another tale. It was mine.
It all erupted on Dec. 13, 2013. There was a going-away party for a university communications director who had resigned. As the Star Tribune’s University of Minnesota’s basketball writer, I attended, as did Teague, whom I had covered since his arrival in April 2012. I spoke with him in passing and eventually left. As I was walking out, Teague texted me and asked if I wanted to get a drink.
Cultivating sources is a critical part of a reporter’s job. Sometimes that crosses into social gatherings. Having a drink with a source is not at all unusual, and I didn’t feel being a woman compromised me because I was there solely for work purposes.
Since coming to the university, Teague had presented himself to the media as someone who was a good source and not afraid to get blunt. For a reporter, that was extremely valuable. After he arrived, and before Dec. 13, 2013, he and I had drinks five to seven times, all but one of those occasions in a group setting. I also attended several cocktail parties at his house. I was happy to have such a useful window into the program. We talked about basketball, coaches and his plans for the department.
So I agreed to have that drink. But this December night was different. Teague asked me about my longtime boyfriend, as he often did. My mistake was acknowledging that we had just broken up. The switch flipped. Suddenly, in a public and crowded bar, Teague tried to throw his arm around me. He poked my side. He pinched my hip. He grabbed at me. Stunned and mortified, I swatted his advances and firmly told him to stop. He didn’t.
“Don’t deny,” he said, “our chemistry.”
I told him that he was drastically off base, that my only intention in being there was as a reporter – to which he replied: “You’re all strictly business? Nothing else?”
I walked out. He followed me. I hailed a cab. He followed me in, grabbing at my arm and scooting closer and closer in the dark back cabin until I was pressed against the door. I told him to stop. I told him it was not OK. He laughed. When I reached my apartment, I vomited.
Later that night he texted: “Night strictly bitness.’’
The incident wasn’t the first with Teague.
When he first arrived at the university we would communicate via texts, mostly about athletics. But over time the tone of the messages slowly changed, particularly at night. He would pepper work talk with comments that at first felt weird and eventually unacceptable. Once, he called me “cute.” Another night, after I declined meeting for a drink, he asked me if I was wearing pajamas.
I brought my concerns to a work colleague, who suggested I downplay the remarks and keep things light.
But in the aftermath of Dec. 13, it got worse.
When I had to call Teague for a quote, he would often afterward say, “You owe me.” He suggested I travel with the Gophers summer caravan to “get more scoops.” He once asked if I was going to Dallas for the Final Four. When I replied that our newspaper was not covering it because of budget issues, he texted: “I have other options to get u there in style.’’ And when I declined to meet him if he suggested a drink he would text things like “R u pouting?” and “The colonel is coming after you.”
I stopped speaking to Teague unless it was absolutely necessary. When he wanted to get a drink, I told him I was busy. I avoided him as much as possible. Losing meaningful access to an athletic director isn’t a situation a college reporter wants to find herself in, but to me it was the best of all the bad options.
He noticed the change.
“Ur no fun anymore,” he texted.
“U seem obtuse.”
“Ur radio silent.”
“U think I’m gross.”
“Ur giving me a complex.”
“U hate me, I’m toxic.”
Unsure of what to do, I reached out to other women in the industry, including ESPN’s Dana O’Neil, who advised me to immediately alert my editors.
In April 2014 I did and later explained my experience to the human resources department in much more detail. I provided them with many of Teague’s text messages. After multiple meetings, the company provided me with an action plan that included a number of options: the company contacting Teague directly to demand that he cease the inappropriate behavior; contacting Teague’s superiors to inform them of his behavior; changing beats; or, at my suggestion, waiting to see if the behavior continued before taking action.
It was my decision to make and I chose what I believed was self-preservation. I didn’t want my career interrupted because of a powerful man’s misdeeds. Making a formal complaint could have resulted in me losing access at the university. It could have forced me to take another beat, perhaps out of sports; to change my career path in a way I never planned.
I was also concerned about how it would look were the information to get leaked. I carefully considered the editorializing and victim-shaming that goes on in such circumstances, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through that.
In the past year, we have barely spoken. He has not texted me since August 2014.
But as I reread his texts to me and the ones that were released Friday, I regret not doing more initially, especially now that I know Teague continued to harass women. At the time, I was still fairly green on my first real beat and, frankly, unprepared for something like this. I wasn’t bold enough in my reaction. Had all of this developed now, I might have handled it differently. That’s why, in light of the brave women who did step up, I decided to put my name behind my story in hopes that it will never happen again.
Friday’s accounts from the two nameless women harassed by Teague were a lot of things. They were vulgar. They were troubling. They were gross.
One thing they were not is something new. For me, it was more of the same, all over again.
EDITORS’ NOTE: In editing Rayno’s story, the Star Tribune confirmed key elements of Rayno’s account with a former human resources officer and by reviewing human resources documents related to the matter, including copies of text messages sent and received by Rayno.
Star Tribune editors on Sunday also sought reaction to Amelia Rayno’s account from former athletic director Norwood Teague and the University of Minnesota. Teague did not respond.

Star Tribune's Rayno adds her own story to Teague scandal
When former University of Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague abruptly resigned on Friday amid sexual harassment complaints, some wondered if other shiver-inducing tales would emerge. I knew of one …
When former University of Minnesota athletic director Norwood Teague abruptly resigned on Friday and details of the sexual harassment complaints that led to his departure began to leak, some loudly wondered if there were other shiver-inducing tales out there.
Not me. I knew there was another tale. It was mine.
It all erupted on Dec. 13, 2013. There was a going-away party for a university communications director who had resigned. As the Star Tribune’s University of Minnesota’s basketball writer, I attended, as did Teague, whom I had covered since his arrival in April 2012. I spoke with him in passing and eventually left. As I was walking out, Teague texted me and asked if I wanted to get a drink.
Cultivating sources is a critical part of a reporter’s job. Sometimes that crosses into social gatherings. Having a drink with a source is not at all unusual, and I didn’t feel being a woman compromised me because I was there solely for work purposes.
Since coming to the university, Teague had presented himself to the media as someone who was a good source and not afraid to get blunt. For a reporter, that was extremely valuable. After he arrived, and before Dec. 13, 2013, he and I had drinks five to seven times, all but one of those occasions in a group setting. I also attended several cocktail parties at his house. I was happy to have such a useful window into the program. We talked about basketball, coaches and his plans for the department.
So I agreed to have that drink. But this December night was different. Teague asked me about my longtime boyfriend, as he often did. My mistake was acknowledging that we had just broken up. The switch flipped. Suddenly, in a public and crowded bar, Teague tried to throw his arm around me. He poked my side. He pinched my hip. He grabbed at me. Stunned and mortified, I swatted his advances and firmly told him to stop. He didn’t.
“Don’t deny,” he said, “our chemistry.”
I told him that he was drastically off base, that my only intention in being there was as a reporter – to which he replied: “You’re all strictly business? Nothing else?”
I walked out. He followed me. I hailed a cab. He followed me in, grabbing at my arm and scooting closer and closer in the dark back cabin until I was pressed against the door. I told him to stop. I told him it was not OK. He laughed. When I reached my apartment, I vomited.
Later that night he texted: “Night strictly bitness.’’
The incident wasn’t the first with Teague.
When he first arrived at the university we would communicate via texts, mostly about athletics. But over time the tone of the messages slowly changed, particularly at night. He would pepper work talk with comments that at first felt weird and eventually unacceptable. Once, he called me “cute.” Another night, after I declined meeting for a drink, he asked me if I was wearing pajamas.
I brought my concerns to a work colleague, who suggested I downplay the remarks and keep things light.
But in the aftermath of Dec. 13, it got worse.
When I had to call Teague for a quote, he would often afterward say, “You owe me.” He suggested I travel with the Gophers summer caravan to “get more scoops.” He once asked if I was going to Dallas for the Final Four. When I replied that our newspaper was not covering it because of budget issues, he texted: “I have other options to get u there in style.’’ And when I declined to meet him if he suggested a drink he would text things like “R u pouting?” and “The colonel is coming after you.”
I stopped speaking to Teague unless it was absolutely necessary. When he wanted to get a drink, I told him I was busy. I avoided him as much as possible. Losing meaningful access to an athletic director isn’t a situation a college reporter wants to find herself in, but to me it was the best of all the bad options.
He noticed the change.
“Ur no fun anymore,” he texted.
“U seem obtuse.”
“Ur radio silent.”
“U think I’m gross.”
“Ur giving me a complex.”
“U hate me, I’m toxic.”
Unsure of what to do, I reached out to other women in the industry, including ESPN’s Dana O’Neil, who advised me to immediately alert my editors.
In April 2014 I did and later explained my experience to the human resources department in much more detail. I provided them with many of Teague’s text messages. After multiple meetings, the company provided me with an action plan that included a number of options: the company contacting Teague directly to demand that he cease the inappropriate behavior; contacting Teague’s superiors to inform them of his behavior; changing beats; or, at my suggestion, waiting to see if the behavior continued before taking action.
It was my decision to make and I chose what I believed was self-preservation. I didn’t want my career interrupted because of a powerful man’s misdeeds. Making a formal complaint could have resulted in me losing access at the university. It could have forced me to take another beat, perhaps out of sports; to change my career path in a way I never planned.
I was also concerned about how it would look were the information to get leaked. I carefully considered the editorializing and victim-shaming that goes on in such circumstances, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to go through that.
In the past year, we have barely spoken. He has not texted me since August 2014.
But as I reread his texts to me and the ones that were released Friday, I regret not doing more initially, especially now that I know Teague continued to harass women. At the time, I was still fairly green on my first real beat and, frankly, unprepared for something like this. I wasn’t bold enough in my reaction. Had all of this developed now, I might have handled it differently. That’s why, in light of the brave women who did step up, I decided to put my name behind my story in hopes that it will never happen again.
Friday’s accounts from the two nameless women harassed by Teague were a lot of things. They were vulgar. They were troubling. They were gross.
One thing they were not is something new. For me, it was more of the same, all over again.
EDITORS’ NOTE: In editing Rayno’s story, the Star Tribune confirmed key elements of Rayno’s account with a former human resources officer and by reviewing human resources documents related to the matter, including copies of text messages sent and received by Rayno.
Star Tribune editors on Sunday also sought reaction to Amelia Rayno’s account from former athletic director Norwood Teague and the University of Minnesota. Teague did not respond.

unc chancellor Folt understands the athletic challenge
Says she’s confident about integrity of coaches
Focused on fair treatment during NCAA process
No preference on possible punishments
Carol Folt knew as she interviewed during the spring of 2013 to become unc’s 11th chancellor that the scandal had cost her predecessor his job, and could define her tenure.
Carol Folt willingly inherited a mess.
University leaders generally remain in the background when athletics are in the public eye. Unless things go really wrong, as was the case at the University of North carolina at Chapel Hill, where ill-formulated intentions, lax oversight and thirst for athletic success created a noxious stew.
The trouble centered on a mere $75 million piece of a nearly $4 billion budgetary puzzle, an athletic realm encompassing at most 800 undergrads out of 18,000, as Folt is quick to point out. Many years of dubious classes and inappropriate manipulation to benefit athletes clearly undercut the school’s reputation and academic integrity and would bring the NCAA sniffing for the second time this decade.
Folt knew as she interviewed during the spring of 2013 to become unc’s 11th chancellor the scandal had cost her predecessor his job, and it could define her tenure. “I was pretty open-eyed about what this was going to be,” Folt said in late July in her Chapel Hill office. “I knew quite a bit, but I think nobody knew what I was eventually able to uncover.
“It wouldn’t have changed my opinion about coming here, it really wouldn’t.”
Before Folt arrived on campus in July 2013, the environmental scientist resolved to dissect what had gone awry at unc. “That need to really probe became very obvious to me,” she says. “I’m well aware that every time you probe there are consequences of that probing, but I couldn’t have been a chancellor if I thought people were telling me not to do something.”
'I’M NOT GOING INTO ‘WOE IS ME.’
-unc chancellor Carol Folt
Supported by system president Tom Ross and others, Folt within eight months of taking office commissioned Kenneth Wainstein, an attorney formerly with the FBI and Homeland Security, to investigate what had gone wrong. The findings released in October 2014 were damning and helped fuel a five-count NCAA Notice of Allegations (NOA) the university is poised to answer publicly later this month.
“I’m not going into ‘woe is me.’ I really think that the most important part of our position is that carolina is taking full responsibility and it’s not looking to set itself up as a victim,” insists Folt, 63. “I think a lot of what happened here absolutely shouldn’t have happened and should have certainly been caught much sooner. That’s really the tragedy of this, is that it wasn’t identified as quickly as possible and completely halted.”
‘High integrity’
Folt isn’t ready to discuss the university’s response to the NCAA charges, or to speculate about possible punishments. A member of the NCAA Division I Board of Directors while at Dartmouth College, she characterizes college sports’ governing entity as an “institution under flux,” perhaps less predictable than usual as it reinvents its processes under intense criticism and scrutiny.
Nor does she concede, as has been widely reported, that football coach Larry Fedora, men’s basketball coach Roy Williams, or anyone else at unc reassured prospective student-athletes regarding the NCAA’s intentions.
“I don’t know what they really said, and I doubt that you’ve been sitting in with the students,” Folt cautions an interviewer. “I feel that very strongly. We get reported that a lot of things are said. Most of the time when I try to figure it out, they weren’t said in that tone or context.”
SHE WAS NOTHING BUT POSITIVE ABOUT THE ROLE OF ATHLETICS ON OUR CAMPUS.
-Dartmouth athletic director Harry Sheehy
Instead, the chancellor stresses her confidence in the “high integrity” of unc’s coaches and athletic programs, and by implication warns against subordinates presuming to know more than she does. “Myself, I am not making any statements about what the NCAA will or will not do because I don’t have any idea about that, and I don’t think anyone has said that.”
One thing is clear – despite Folt’s Ivy League background, the lifelong Ohio State fan arrived at North carolina familiar with the place of a strong athletic program within an academic setting. “I had much more experience than probably would have seemed obvious,” she says after 30 years at Dartmouth, the last as acting president. “I think what I was actually bringing by coming from Dartmouth is the fact that in a leadership position there I had to do everything. I had direct experience.”
Positive outlook
Folt doesn’t consider the gulf between the Ivys and the power conferences as great as it appears, either.
“For one thing, if you take out the revenue sports, the Ivy Leagues want to win every single NCAA Division I championship,” she says. “Ferociously. And sometimes they do. And they compete for the same athletes.”
A public school swimmer growing up in Akron, Ohio, Folt was faculty mentor for Dartmouth’s swim team and a member of the school’s faculty athletic oversight council.
“She was nothing but positive about the role of athletics on our campus,” recalls Big Green athletic director Harry Sheehy, who oversees 35 varsity sports. “She showed up at events on a regular basis. Was very positive about the student-athlete experience and the value that it added to the collegiate experience.”
Like most high-energy people, Folt is noted for her positive outlook. That apparently extends to her view of how unc’s rehabilitative work will affect the NCAA’s ultimate verdict.
“My biggest issue right now is that we are treated fairly, that what Chapel Hill is held accountable for is what others have been or will be, that we are given a very fair and just process that does include the fact that we are doing and have done many reforms,” Folt says. “I don’t think you will ever find a university that has done as many reforms as we have done, or investigated itself in such a public way.”
Folt won’t share a preference, however hypothetical, between likely terms of NCAA punishment: incurring postseason and scholarship limitations, or forfeiting revenues, championships and banners won while improper academic benefits bolstered athletes’ eligibility.
Still, her comments on the topic are revealing. “I’m happy to deal with the parts, the troubles, what we can do to fix it,” she says. “But it’s harder to fix the pain for the people who did not cause it, don’t deserve it, and still get the teasing and the more substantial parts of that.”
Lost opportunity
Despite her robust defense of those currently at carolina, the chancellor is not above lamenting “the opportunity cost” of her time spent handling unc’s academic/athletic misadventure rather than focusing on other, weightier duties such as managing a research portfolio of nearly $1 billion. In that, she echoes many beleaguered university leaders, past and present.
Where she differs from more seasoned colleagues such as William Kerwan, former co-chair of the Knight Commission, is in her conviction she has a firm grip on the athletic enterprise.
“I just think that higher education presidents, governing boards and institutions have lost control of intercollegiate athletics and it’s, I fear, compromising the integrity of higher education, at least as it’s played in the top division,” Kerwan, the recently retired chancellor of the University System of Maryland, told Inside Higher Ed last month. “It is the one area of a university where presidents are not really in control.”
Folt, a relative novice grappling with big-time sports, admits she “is still learning.” Yet she flatly rejects Kerwin’s premise. “I think it’s really important to think that, in the end, if presidents say they aren’t in control, they aren’t the right president,” she responds. “I put through the Wainstein Report. It is in my hands to get those reforms in place.”
A promising start, to be sure. But that’s not the same as taming the lust for competitive success, pressures on athletes, and ceaseless thirst for revenues that helped to create unc’s and other schools’ problems in the first place.

If true , this should surprise no one. AFAM was used as "Ground Zero" for the fraud then unx tried to scapegoat it as the only problematic dept but ,clearly , many others were involved. EXSS , COMM , GEOG , PHIL , DRAM , PORT etc.... Cheating was/is PERVASIVE.
