Didn’t see it yesterday either. Am I missing something?

Yet another example of someone trying to make a link that isn’t there.

NY Times piece on RM, about how he'd been pretty successful at Yale, professional, no one saw it coming etc. Yale said of the two students involved in the indictments one was admitted, the other wasn't (paid a bribe and didn't get in? Karma).
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/15/s...gtype=Homepage
As Rudy Meredith was inducted into the Connecticut Soccer Hall of Fame in January to honor his 24-year run as Yale women’s soccer coach, he sprinkled his hallmark humor and humility throughout his remarks....Despite Mr. Meredith’s placid demeanor, people who knew him best had recently begun to detect changes in his behavior. He seemed to be more anxious. He appeared less enthusiastic about soccer, even before he resigned as Yale’s coach in November. He paid little attention to recruiting. He played poorly in pickleball, a paddle sport he usually excelled at....In a Boston hotel on April 12, 2018, Mr. Meredith solicited a $450,000 bribe from the parent of a prospective college student in exchange for saving a Yale soccer recruitment spot for his daughter. Mr. Meredith took $2,000 from the parent, and directed the parent to wire future payments to a bank account in Connecticut. But the F.B.I. was secretly recording the conversation, the charging documents said. Then six days later, the parent, who was working with the authorities, wired $4,000 to Mr. Meredith from a bank account in Boston that the F.B.I. controlled, giving the government evidence of wire fraud..."
"In recent years, Yale’s teams did not perform as well as they had in the 2000s, and players and friends began to suspect that Mr. Meredith was no longer as gung-ho about soccer. Adele Jackson-Gibson, a Yale goalkeeper who graduated in 2013 and is now a freelance writer in Brooklyn, said she “could feel people become more defeated over time.” She added, “People seem tired and a little bit checked out.” Some players, speaking on condition of anonymity so as not to be ensnared in the investigation, also began to notice a player or two, every couple of years, who did not belong on a Division I team, based on their skill level. Some of those players came from wealthy families, prompting speculation that their parents had donated money in exchange for coveted recruiting spots....

Except for the fact that it is on the site...you simply have to go to the About Us section and it’s listed there. As I mentioned earlier, it’s very outdated however. Rudy was listed first two days ago, now he’s been removed. You’d think they’d at least have bios for Steve, Matt, Todd, Teddy, Eric, Graciano, etc. Weird.
Here it is.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThis makes no sense. So how was it the assistant coaches at Yale didn’t know there was a problem? How can the top asst coach that is in charge of recruiting didn't know there was an issue?? This player basically is saying she saw a problem since 2010. Seems pretty odd.
So the admission part is the prize not the roster spot- as a coach can just expand his roster on the cheap
If Rudy has to use his influence to get sub par kids in then the Ass coach had to know because that would come at the expense of an actual impact recruit

I don't envy the new coach stepping into this hot mess.
