cover up the cover up

7/2/2011: George Schroeder of the RG accuses UO of a cover up:

But the larger concern Oregon’s power brokers — President Richard Lariviere, athletic director Rob Mullens, are you listening? — should have today is over the clumsy attempt at a cover-up.

It deletes the Ducks’ dodge that they were duped by a smooth operator. If Kelly and company believed that they were operating within the rules, why try to cover their tracks?

Canazano has something similar in the Oregonian.

And now UO General Counsel (and former Melinda Grier deputy) Randy Geller has told Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Finance and Administration Jamie Moffitt (can we call you ESAADFFAA for short?) that she is not to answer questions from the UO Intercollegiate Athletic Committee about who is paying how much for the law firm(s) that UO is hiring to defend against the NCAA investigation.

Not just a cover up, but a cover up of the costs of the cover up. This approach is not going to end well for Oregon. They should get it all out in the open quick, and start apologizing.
