So winning has now become more important than ethics? I though the purpose of these college sports was to help build the young athletes into better and more well rounded people...not just to win NCAA championships.
Oh wait, maybe Kenney's actions are part of that well rounded individual we all wish our kids to become.
After reading the second article, I like him a bit less. Expunging records from the 1980s? C'mon. The "team" concept is undoubtedly important. I'm just not that fond of military dictatorships or "cultures of fear." He obviously expects people to toe the line and does not particularly value individuality or stepping outside his own defined boundaries of right and wrong. But what if you don't agree with him? I'm not really sure I buy his apology or "admission of error" either. Did he have any choice? What would happen if he didn't apologize? More likely to get fired. He'd probably still like to strangle the dissenters and whistle blowers. There are no "mitigating circumstances" for expunging records. Being a legend and having done past good deeds doesn't immunize him from his own folly or mean that forgiveness should be instantly doled out. Some punishment is appropriate given the magnitude of the "error."
I'm going to put on my flip flops now.
Can he talk to his swimmers by cell phone or PDA? I'm assuming not.
