More On The University of Nevada's NCAA Sanctions
This Sunday article in the Reno Gazette Journal gives a little more insight into the ramifications of the NCAA sanctions against the University of Nevada Athletic Department. Three things worth noting:
1) Several student-athletes knowingly participated in the NCAA violations. They are responsible in part for the penalties imposed on the present and future Nevada golf student-athletes.
2) Former Golf Coach Rich Merritt's supervisor, Cindy Fox, and Athletic Director Cary Groth are responsible for their lack of oversight of this coach. His violations were many and over a lengthy period of time.
3) Fox and Groth knew of nearly every one of Merritt's violations in 2007. Yet they retained him anyway, knowing that he repeatedly lied to the Director of Compliance, that he jeopardized the eligibility and welfare of his student-athletes, and that he put the entire university athletics program at risk.
Groth has been athletic director at two universities. Both have landed on probation for major violations of NCAA rules under her leadership.
