Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
"Some BU administrators said they were frustrated that Parker had failed to notify them about the 2009 party and other potential disciplinary issues. Acting on the task force’s recommendation, the school has stripped Parker of one of his two titles, executive athletic director."
At least JoePa at Penn State had an Athletic Director he was supposed to report to. Jackie had no such requirements.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
This just got 15 minutes on D&C. Their take is that if this were a big-time basketball or football program Jeremy Schaap would be on Jack's door step this morning. And the women's groups would be working on their signs right now.
BU Hockey Player: "You don't ask permission for sex when you're drunk." Lovely.
So much for the "move along, nothing seriously wrong here" we all tried to spin when the report came out.
This just went to DEFCON 3.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
What an article!!!
Wish we could find out who this scholar is:
One player came close to admitting that. “You don’t ask [permission for sex] when you are drunk,” he told the task force, adding that he did not see how the actions of the two players charged last year constituted sexual assault.
One of your players is actually dumb enough to not only think this, but say it to a task force. Well done.
They stripped Parker of one of his titles but then say they couldn't fire him from his coaching position because he technically didn't break any rules. So...how did they strip him of one of his titles in the first place? Did they actually want to remove him as coach? That's my question.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
They couldn't. After all, the article says at the end "That is partly because the task force could not find any specific university rule that Parker broke in failing to relay information up BU’s chain of command. " So in other words, it was not his fault, he did nothing wrong. Though you would think a person who has been employed at that school for how many years would know which person on the chain of command he would need to report those things too.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
I think that was one of the reports findings... that lack of a clear chain of command left it unclear who they should be reporting to.

That's what I was wondering. Since when is "too many men in the box" a penalty?
Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Unbelievable a player would say that to a task force. WTH. Knock knock. Anyone home?

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Agreed, its a nice legal way out of having to do more to him if they wanted to.
Its just hard to believe that a guy who has been employed there for 30-40 years does not know who to tell things like this too. At worst, he has to sit down with a boss at some point, right? Would he not to think to bring it up then? On his way out the door, "hey, totally forgot, but there was a huge unsanctioned party at the arena, i heard the team shared one beer, and don't ask why, but we need someone to clean up the penalty box."
I have been at my job for 9 years. If I do not know who to tell something to, I can find someone to ask. And my company was bought out almost 2 years ago with a full change in senior management.
Parker comes off a bit like an old man way out of touch. He probably does not care.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
I don't even know the full history of what players have done in the past, but just having read the Globe articles about these recent charges and the BU report, I gotta tell ya, I don't know how Parker survives this. I'm not a BU/HE fan nor hater...but from my view, this thing smells to high heaven of a runaway program where a legendary coach was more than happy to let "the boys" have the run of the joint.
If I'm the President or a Trustee, how do I look myself in the mirror with Parker still at the helm? At the end of the day, the institution needs to decide what it stands for. The DC crowd is right..if this were Miami football or UConn hoops, ESPNs Sal Palantonio would have an RV parked on Commonwealth Ave.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
If they couldn't remove him as coach, how could they remove him as executive AD or whatever other position he held?

Forget Sal. What about the BU women? How can they stand for this? They are the ones who can bring Parker to his knees...they can demand it!

To create a situation where the hockey program now has someone to report to.... at least that is how I read it.

They couldn't. They recommended he step down from one of his two positions he accepted and resigned from EAD.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
How the **** do you have a full on party at the arena and people didn't know.
I'm sorry that's at the "cleanse the place with fire and start over" level... Jack Parker is the problem, he thinks he can control the madness.
Edit: I will not respect a coach who does not summarily dismiss players for drinking in the locker room.

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
I agree. Yesterday when I first saw the report I figured he'd be coaching until the end of his contract and that's it. Now after this latest dirty laundry today I'm not so sure that's going to do the trick. What happens if there's another "incident" no matter how minor? When Silber ran the U, he couldn't care less what people thought of the place and would have kept Parker around just for spite. Not sure Bob Brown has the same loyalties here.

THIS IS WHAT D1 athletics is all about... my god!!!

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
Ok fingers crossed here, this "could" be the start of the moment I have been waiting for since (well to be honest with you) the early 1980's. The Emperor has no clothes, finally!

Re: Boston University 2012 Offseason
really, after the season is over and right after they won the championship being down by 2 with about 3 minutes to play?
no alcohol in the lockerrom for players who are 25 years old?
