[Husker] NU AD - Glenn said what ?

Mon Apr 27 20:23:39 CDT 2009

Scott...I see what you mean, but unfortunately, any protection BP may have been trying to give Glenn is now completely out of the picture.  BP has a big problem right now, and it is not going to go away.  He should tell every detail to everybody, public, press, NCAA...everybody.

Recap...

Cody says he got caught selling tickets and that Coach suspened him for it.  Selling tickets is a major NCAA infraction.  We know Glenn was suspended by Coach for something.  If it was for selling tickets, and Coach reported it and suspended Glenn, we are OK.  But that is really unlikely because if he reported it, our compliance officers would know without question, but they do not.  If Glenn was suspended for selling tickets, and BP did not report it, he is now in deep, deep poop.  He didn't self-report, he concealed a major infraction, and he hid it from his own compliance officers. NOTE:  this is all speculation, I am making no accusations.  On top of all this, Jim Zorn, the head coach of the Washington Redskins, says he thoroughly investigated this before drafting Glenn.  With who?  Had to be BP and staff or the NCAA.  No other options.

So our best cases are BP suspended AND reported an infraction (unlikely for reason stated above) or Glenn was suspended for something other than an infraction.  But protection Glenn is now out, he made the statement to the press.  BP needs to start talking now.

I know that speculation is half the fun of the Internet, but I think we are making some big assumptions.

What we know is the Cody Glenn said he sold some tickets and he attributes this to his being suspended. BP has said "No Comment." and the athletic department is saying selling tickets wasn't an issue they knew about and are trying to talk to Cody Glenn.

There are many things that can be going on here. Including BP not wanting to air a kid's dirty laundry in the press. What he says to the press is not necessarily what he shares with the NCAA? That Cody was suspended when this apparently came to light will go a long way with the NCAA. They tend to reward quick suspensions when things come to a coach or AD's attention. 

It doesn't make sense to me for BP to suspend a kid publically and then try to sweep it under the rug. It does make sense for him to take action against an infraction and then refuse to discuss the details in the press.

No Laura, I really don't think "no comment" is going to do it.  Cody Glenn said specifically that he sold tickets and that Coach Pellini did what he had to do.  This clearly says BP suspended him for it.  Now if you are saying that BP should stick with "no comment" because of an ongoing or potential investigation, that is a page right out of the playbook of every guilty party.  Sooner or later, he is going to have to explain.  I guess you are saying that later is better?  I would have to disagree. Right now, today, go to the NCAA and tell every single detail and go public with every single detail.  Don't leave anything, not one iota, untold.  It will all come out anyway, regardless of Coach's cooperation or not, and not cooperating is the very, very, very opposite of good.

If that is the case the Athletic Department and the NCAA will need to investigate it not the media, so "No Comment" is the proper response.

If it turns out that he did scalp tickets, and Coach knew about it and didn't report it, we're gonna get dinged for it.  In no way is BP going to be able to stick with his "no comment".  With this kind of accusation out there, he is going to have to explain himself and his reasons for the suspension.  Stonewalling looks really bad and always, always makes it worse.

The Athletic Dept claims no knowledge of Cody Glenn scalping tickets.
