Florida A&M Basketball Coach Has to Wear One of Those GPS Tracking System Things Another role model from bigtime university sports bites the dust. UD's not sure how much more disillusionment she can take. This time it's the basketball coach at basketcase university Florida A&M (there's everything wrong with this place -- its financial mismanagement is so amazing that the state legislature's talking about just shutting down the school), who seems to have had attachment issues with an old girlfriend. In pressing the charges that have the guy under arrest for stalking, she said she and Gillespie dated from September 2004 to March 11, 2005 ... [she] has called the police on numerous occasions complaining of stalking dating back to 2005. The stalking, she said, began after she broke off their relationship. She said that Gillespie said he was getting a divorce at the time she dated him. UD wonders... on that financial mismanagement thing... this is from a newspaper account UD quoted in an earlier post: 'Angry state legislators called for a criminal investigation of Florida A&M University's continuing financial woes today... They said it's time to turn the books over to the attorney general's office of Florida Department of Law Enforcement.... "There could be a decision by the Legislature not to fund it," said [one legislator]. "The university would cease to exist." ... [Along with ongoing payroll discrepancies,] FAMU didn't have records for $1.8 million in athletics department collections, and university property that went missing sometimes was not reported to police agencies, the audit said.' What about that $1.8 million? How much does it cost to stalk someone for three years ...? |
