Mr. Currie and President Schultz,PLEASE grant a release for Leticia Romero allowing her to go where she wants with the exceptions of another Big XII university or Northern Colorado. This is getting ridiculous and is troubling. Any young person should be able to attend the school of their choice. Universities are in the business of education. What is being taught in this situation? K-State just hired a coach from a conference member! Coach Mitte! How would he like it if TCU had tried to limit him from taking a coaching position at a conference member? Please reconsider and do the right thing. K-State is about the people. This is the first time under this administration that I feel embarrassed and ashamed.Best wishes and much success to Ms. Romero. I only wish she could have fond memories rather than the horrible ones she will be left with of my university.Sincerely,(AuditCat)
One of the issues in play is what took place — or didn’t take place — during the appeals hearing itself, led by K-State vice president of student life Pat Bosco. The committee, “comprised of individuals from the institution’s main campus and outside of athletics,” according to the school’s student-athlete handbook, failed to record the session or produce a transcript, despite assurances that it would.Romero asked to record the hearing and after being told she could, Sonia Topliff, who works in Bosco’s office, later told Romero, it wasn’t necessary because K-State would take care of it and make it available.“You do not have to provide your own recording equipment,” Topliff wrote in e-mail to Romero the morning of her hearing that was obtained by The Mercury. “The university will record your meeting with the hearing panel and make it available to you upon your request.”Romero never received an audio recording or a transcript like she requested.“Is there a transcript of tape of the hearing? No,” Jackson said. “These people knew exactly what they were doing. They didn’t want a record of it. They lied to her about recording and did not create a record of it — told her there was no copy.”- See more at: http://themercury.com/articles/romero-exploring-other-options-to-gain-her-release#sthash.VMxvZKlk.dpuf
New Mercury story from Kinder today.http://themercury.com/articles/romero-exploring-other-options-to-gain-her-release
This is an athletic department that’s being run by third graders.
No criminal action to be taken in distribution of letterKansas State spokesman Jeff Morris said Friday that the university had concluded nothing criminal took place in the distribution of an internal letter regarding women’s basketball player Leticia Romero.The existence of the May 5 letter, in which athletic director John Currie asked a university committee to grant Romero a release from her scholarship, was reported in Thursday’s Mercury and other media outlets. The Mercury obtained an image of the letter from Romero’s attorney.K-State attorney Pete Paukstelis had asked The Mercury to destroy all copies of the letter in part because they believed it had been stolen.But after looking into it, Morris said university officials concluded the letter had been photographed using an iPhone by a former student employee during working hours in the office of Pat Bosco, who heads the committee that reviews appeals of decisions on scholarship release requests.Morris said that student, who has since graduated and no longer works at K-State, sent the image to somebody and it eventually found its way into the hands of Romero’s attorney, Donald Jackson. Jackson sent it to The Mercury and the Wichita Eagle/Kansas City Star.“There’s no further criminal investigation,” Morris said.

Do you guys fouge for all your bosses dumbass mistakes? He's an awesome source, stop rough ridin' with the messenger. :dropsmic:

I think Bosco would totally fall on his sword if he thought doing so was in the best interest of K-State. I don't think that's the case here. Leti mumped up big time and did something that royally pissed him off. That something may have been request a transfer.
