Maybe, just maybe one of the reasons the UI football team sucks is because Petrino has some serious mental defect from the rarified atmosphere that exists around UI football. That . . . or he’s too stupid to be trusted to walk a snail let alone coach young men if he actually believes the crap that comes out of his own mouth:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>When asked if the football players were given special treatment, Petrino said, “I don’t think there is any special treatment at all.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As laughable as Angry Man Petrino’s crap is, I’m deeply disturbed by the UI’s failure to cooperate with a <b>criminal investigation</b>. Seriously, WTF?! What other types of criminal investigations does the UI think it appropriate to hinder that <b>don’t</b> involve football players or administrators???<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Also, there’s a huge steaming pile of entitlement that seems to have infected the football team. The opportunity of a “football team only” shopping experience at the Bookstore wasn’t good enough for those guys – some apparently decided to just take what they wanted because they’re special instead of paying like the rest of us schmucks. Stellar character of those players, and great message the UI is sending them by sheltering them from the consequences of <b>criminal</b> behavior. Sorry, I don’t trust the UI to send a strong message to these bozos. Besides, given the sweetheart plea agreements that common here (and everywhere), I think accountability to someone outside the thief-coddling environment of the UI would be good thing for the thieves. I really don’t like the message the UI is sending by refusing to cooperate with a criminal investigation – I expect, no, I <b>demand</b> better than that from the UI.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Signed,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>A Disgusted UI Alum<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Saundra Lund<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> vision2020-bounces@moscow.com [mailto:vision2020-bounces@moscow.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Rosemary Huskey<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, August 26, 2015 1:36 PM<br><b>To:</b> vision2020@moscow.com<br><b>Subject:</b> [Vision2020] Beyond disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=story-times><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>In this case the rot starts at the top, hello President Staben of the silly, very expensive, circus tent crackpottery! Mr. Paul Petrino (I don’t use the title coach which is a term that suggests a position of respect – that he certainly doesn’t deserve) should be fired for his lack of integrity. The graduate assistant coaches should be placed on probation. An apology (and a very abject one at that) should be offered to the Chief Duke and the officers of the Moscow Police Department for wasting their time, and the offenders – if allowed to remain in school – should be ordered to provide a semester of community service on campus to include cleaning up the Kibbie Dome after football games. What a grotesque example of the power of athletic departments even at a pathetic fourth rate program like the University of Idaho football blushingly offers. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=story-times><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Rose Huskey<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=story-times><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Posted: <span class=posted>Wednesday, August 26, 2015 11:00 am</span> | <span class=updated><i>Updated: 11:02 am, Wed Aug 26, 2015. </i></span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=byline><span class=fn><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>By Josh Babcock, Daily News staff writer</span></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> | <a href="http://dnews.com/breaking_news/no-charges-filed-after-coach-petrino-returns-gear/article_4c7087e4-4c1c-11e5-b541-8f7db4122633.html#user-comment-area" id="comment_4c7087e4-4c1c-11e5-b541-8f7db4122633">1 comment </a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Multiple University of Idaho football players took nearly $400 worth of clothing from the UI VandalStore on Aug. 16, but bookstore officials declined to press charges after UI football coach Paul Petrino returned the items the same day, according to a report from the Moscow Police Department.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>According to the report, received through a Daily News public records request, VandalStore Manager Scott McDonald contacted police following the incident, which took place when the bookstore was closed to the public and open only to the football team. McDonald told police “he noticed several clothes hangers empty” and “watched video of the area of where the hangers were located and saw approximately three males stealing clothing.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>“The video clearly showed some items being stolen and placed primarily in a red backpack, and it appeared as if other items may have been stolen and concealed in one suspect’s pants,” the report said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>According to the report, after police watched the video, two UI football graduate assistants at the store were asked to contact their superiors to determine who would be responsible for identifying the alleged suspects. A short time later two Vandals coaches, offensive coordinator Kris Cinkovich and Bobby Daly, director of football operations, arrived and watched the video. Shortly after, the report said, Petrino arrived and spoke to McDonald in McDonald’s office. Following the conversation, Petrino left the store and an officer entered the office, where McDonald made the officer aware of a pile of clothing he said Petrino had brought back to the store.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>According to the report, police asked McDonald who the coaches had identified in the video, but McDonald told the investigators he “didn’t write it down and did not recall.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>The report states McDonald said video would be provided to the MPD the following day, but VandalStore Director John Bales told police on Aug. 17 he was going to keep the video and “the incident was going to be handled internally.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>In an after-practice interview Tuesday, Petrino told the Daily News, “The situation has been handled and they’re being internally disciplined.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>Petrino declined to name the players involved or specify how many players were involved in the alleged theft. He also declined to give detail on the severity of the discipline.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>When asked if the football players were given special treatment, Petrino said, “I don’t think there is any special treatment at all.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>He said the incident had been reported to the president.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>The UI Dean of Students Office declined to comment on the incident Wednesday morning.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>According to a statement released by the UI following questions to Petrino, “the athletes involved have been disciplined by the coaches and their behavior will be investigated through the Student Code of Conduct process.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>The Student Code of Conduct says, “Any student found to have committed or to have attempted to commit the following misconduct is subject to the disciplinary process” including “Attempted or actual theft of or damage to property of the University or of another person.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>The disciplinary process involves a report to the dean of students office, which investigates to see if the allegation is credible.
