you -- like I -- thought the UI had the ethics, integrity, and wisdom to *not*
actively recruit AND give a full ride scholarship to a dirtbag expelled from
another university for sexual misconduct, you -- like I -- would be sadly
mistaken.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

that's not bad enough, the piece of crap responsible for that genius decision
is still Men’s Head Basketball Coach at the UI -- Don Verlin.
Unbelievable. Really, UI?!?! Disgusting.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

the piece of crap is paid $133,000 (FY2010) a YEAR to recruit sex offenders to
the UI.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">As for Steffan Johnson, three months after he
was expelled from the university for sexual assault, he was given a full
scholarship to the University of Idaho. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in">Head coach Don Verlin told a local newspaper he
recruited Johnson after talking to the associate head coach from the
University of the Pacific, Ron Verlin, who just happens to be his twin
brother.<o:p></o:p></P>

<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d">Huh –
before I graduated, one of the things I did was go around to student living
groups giving presentations on date rape awareness & prevention.
Guess that’s not something the UI cares about anymore – hell, I guess the
philosophy now is to pay Verlin big bucks to recruit the dirtbags and give
them a free rides.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d">And yet
sporties wonder why those of us who value academics are upset about the
preferential treatment athletics receives. Tenure or not, I’d just about
bet my bottom dollar on the fact that had an academic professor knowingly
& actively recruited <B>and</B> provided a full ride scholarship to
someone expelled from another university for sexual assault, that would be the
end of that professor’s career at the UI, one way or
another.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; COLOR: #1f497d">Yet,
Verlin is still at the UI and is actually making more money now – his salary
in FY2009 was $117,000 and was increased to $133,000 for FY2010. . . guess the
UI pays a premium to someone who recruits athletes expelled for sexual assault
from other schools.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

UI?!? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
