Interesting:

In addition, as part of Parker’s process, Parker asked candidates “to disclose in writing any potential

issues of controversy or concern that the University of Minnesota should be aware of (i.e., legal, work-

related, credit issues, civil litigation suites [sic], etc. [The finalist] signed a statement indicating no such

issues exist.”

Followed by:

The University of Minnesota was not aware of the existence of a confidential agreement between VCU

and its former women’s basketball coach Beth Cunningham -- until the agreement was mentioned in

December 2012 in conjunction with the 2013 complaint filed by Regina Sullivan following her non-
renewal from the University. When the University of Minnesota did learn of the VCU agreement, the

University’s general counsel contacted the attorney responsible for the issue at VCU for more

information. The VCU attorney indicated it could not provide information because of the confidentiality

agreement to which the parties had agreed. The VCU attorney gave no indication of any concerns about

Teague and, in fact, was highly complimentary of him in the conversation.

It begs the question, why wasn't Teague dismissed in 2012 for signing a BS statement that didn't acknowledge the problem at VCU?

That should have been grounds for termination.

Does cause several questions in my mind. Was the fact he signed this discussed with Teague? Was he kept on regardless because Kaler thought he was such a tremendous fund-raiser? If he was questioned about this, just how stupid or arrogant is Norwood to then hit on women like a reporter or with connections to Kaler? Via messages, no less.

Everyone here hates him but Late Night night hoops (Gopher Warrior) basically caught the U and or Teague lying about creating a basketball complex at VCU. He posted this in 2012 or 13.

No one here cared. There was no due diligence done.

Possibly explained by this statement from the linked item: "... and the University does not know whether there was any complaint against VCU at the time of the search."

Can Parker sue Norwood Teague for giving false statements, and then the U sue Parker or vice versa?

Will President Kaler be held accountable for not firing the tongued one the moment his deviant indiscretions at VCU became evident?

Thanks, didn't notice that.

...and it's far worse than just that.

Teague was a bad hire to anyone who took off the maroon & gold glasses.

Kill was a horrible hire.

He won't be the coach next year.

I'm keeping the rest close to my vest.

This from the guy who knows everything about Kill! Try not to hurt yourself with all those pats on the back that you are giving yourself.

Hey, he was spot-on about Trevor Mbakwe. Wait. . .
