[NU Sports] Basketball Coaches salaries

[Sportsbiz]

Not only did nothing happen to the 80 faculty members who attempted to
crucify students in their own classrooms without one scintilla of evidence
of wrongdoing, but the President of the University has not been called to
account for his shameful actions in failing to back up his students and, in
fact, throwing them to the dogs.  Broadhead was a disgrace to academia by
his unwillingness to standup to the crowds calling for the heads of the
students before any of the evidence was in. He was quick to suspend them,
deny them the resources of the University, suspended their coach for
absolutely no reason and protected the AD who is the one who should have
been fired.  The AD comes off even worse by quickly removing the coach who
had nothing to do with the incident other than trying to assist his players
and suspending the season on the basis of some allegations made without
foundation or the offering of any evidence.  This is the shining example of
academic freedom and responsibility we are supposed to be teaching our
children?
