Pflu and O'Day's Input on NCAA Findings

[Washgrizfan1]

I guess I'm a little confused on all this. So a booster is, among other things, somebody that has assisted in providing benefits to enrolled student athletes or their families. But isn't providing benefits to enrolled student athletes or their families one of the things that got us in this mess?

"Extra" benefits is the problem. But the thing that got us in this mess is the investigation and interviews confirmed Pflu and others KNEW and didn't report about some of the benefits (a University official drove the two to the lawyers office do they do it for every student etc etc???)

Few who follow griz athletics closely don't know who "mamma Griz" is, the kids do. hard to believe no one in the AD did.

I don't believe anything was said in the report about a university official driving players to the lawyers office.

Players may know who "mamma griz" is, but the head coach didn't. I don't think the AD did either. I don't know who mama griz is and have never heard of mama griz, but I don't follow UM athletics are closely as some. Do any other posters? Just testing the "few who follow griz athletics closely don't know who she is" statement.

Between the kids knowing outsiders knowing officials driving kids to appointments etc etc the excusing minimizing only make the AD and coaches look more out of control and oblivious than they were. Not knowing when they should and not reporting was the problem. Anyone reading the papers or listening to the news during and following should have figured there would be a LOT of questions asked.

I not only do not know who "mamma Griz" is, I never heard the phrase until just now. And I live in Missoula....

You probably haven't followed the Griz long enough. Ha-ha. Assume you might be a class of '68.

True on knowing questions would be asked, but some of what was reported in the media was not accurate.

I don't know who she is and hadn't heard of her until this report came out.

I don't know who she is and hadn't heard of her until this report came out.

I'm on campus every day, and in the Field House at least twice a week. I had never heard of her.
