Is Nevada A.D. Cary Groth Being Forced Out?
In the RGJ last week, Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth shot down rumors that she was resigning.
According to the article there is dissension between Groth and board members on the Athletic Association of the University of Nevada (AAUN), with some perhaps trying to force her out.
Groth seemed to confirm as much with this statement:
"But when it gets unhealthy, that’s when you don’t need those board members around."
Not the smartest move for an athletic director to take shots at some of the most dedicated donors to Nevada Athletics. But then again, we have never heard anybody accuse Groth of being smart.
When asked whether she expected to finish her contract which runs through June 2013, Groth told the RGJ that she has “no reason to think otherwise.”
C'mon, Cary tell the community the truth...for once!
It hasn't escaped the attention of those following this story that not a single university official has backed up Groth on this "I am not resigning" story.
Which proves interim-President Johnson is smarter than the late-Milton Glick.
If nothing else, we now know that when Groth does leave in the near future, it will not be by her own choice.
And, by the way, didn't Rep. Anthony Weiner recently tell us he was not resigning from Congress? Yet, days later he...well...resigned.
We also heard the same "I am not resigning" story from Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel and Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl. And, shortly thereafter they both left under pressure.
