Around the O’s Jen McCulley reports on unanimous Senate vote for NCAA reform

Just kidding. She doesn’t. Her report is here. All fluff. Here’s what really happened:

4.9       US14/15-91: COIA Request for Member Senate Vote on Possible Presidential Commission; Senate Executive Committee

NCAA FAR Tim Gleason has written at length in opposition to having the Senate consider this resolution without sending it back to the IAC for discussion and a formal vote. The emails between Gleason, Tublitz, myself, and IAC Chair Kurt Krueger, and my response, are here.

To be blunt and civil, I think this is a delaying tactic by Gleason. While it’s encouraging to hear the administration’s athletic representative speak in support of the role of the Senate IAC in athletics, it would be more credible if it didn’t come with unveiled threats like this, from one of Gleason’s emails:

As for your statements concerning FAR participation in IAC meetings, I am attended IAC meetings and intend to continue to do so as long as it is productive to participate. Should the committee return to the “dysfunctional” state noted in the IAC chair’s 2014/15 report that resulted in the withdrawal of the athletic department and my predecessor, I will reconsider.

Meanwhile the administration’s PAGIA is still holding secret meetings, and is telling AD Rob Mullens that he does not need to engage with the Senate IAC.

After a brief discussion, the resolution passes unanimously.

She’s even worse on why Carol Stabile got the Senate’s Westling Award. If the administration really wants to kill this blog, and I hope they do, they’ll need to try a little honesty.
