OT: Pitt fails to do proper background checks for people working w minors

[simons96]

According to report from State Auditor General


State Auditor General Eugene DePasquale said that for years, Pitt did not adequately ensure that athletic camp and campus employees working with minors during Pitt-hosted events had undergone required criminal background checks.
In releasing a performance audit, Mr. DePasquale also said Pitt's controls were insufficient to ensure that procurement card transactions and approvals were consistent with university policy. Also, in at least one instance, Pitt did not adequately justify a sole-source contract and sometimes "did not always document that prices paid for directed or sole-source contracts were reasonable."
Those are among eight findings in an audit that covered the period of July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2013. Five findings were negative and two were positive, including a determination that Pitt was in compliance with National Collegiate Athletic Association bylaws covering athlete eligibility and financial aid. In one case, Pitt did not provide enough information for a finding to be reached.

Everyone on the lair had to know. They are all enablers. They have no right to cheer for pitt and celebrate any, albeit extremely limited, success that pitt has. It's a conspiracy of silence.

 

[PSU.:.]

30 yr death penalty, 300,000,000 fine and 80 yrs probation.

Their football program has pretty much had a 30 year death penalty

except they get to go to bowl games and lose 3-0 or have hilarious record breaking comebacks by the other team.

This explains why they have been so dead set on the false PSU narrative, to cover their own tracks. Keep the spotlight on PSU and off of Pitt, children be damned. What a bunch of sickos.

As punishment Pitt needs to be subjected to 32 years without a 10 win regular season. They need to have their stadium taken away, and rent one. They need to have their fan attendance limited to ~20,000 per game. They need to hold their spring game at a local high school. They need to make sure the rest of their sports program doesn't ever win an NCAA national title.

Oh wait... all that stuff has already happened!

Of course they all knew, that is why Larry Fitzgerald left early for the NFL.

They can try to rewrite history, but their reputation will forever be stained.

Good point. Makes sense now. It's going to be very interesting to see how deep this wormhole goes. Disgusting.

Really? This is the stone you want to throw at Pitt?

Something, something... glass houses.

I heard a rumor this weekend from a very reliable source that their new coach, what's his name from MSU, was in on this problem the entire time. The reason he inexplicably took the career destroying head coaching job at Pitt was so that he could personally see to the cover up.

Source: a friend of mine who used to work at the FBI, but left in disgrace, wrote a report on the topic. He didn't interview any of the key players, and sure he has pretty much screwed up everything he has ever done... but he draws the airtight conclusion based on two vague message board posts that were neither written nor read by the head coach.

You laughed. We were just highlighting how ridiculous the narrative about Joe Paterno, Penn State, and the entire Penn State community is.

Given their track record, a bowl ban would be a godsend. If you want to punish them, make them play in 2 bowl games!

That would be nice, but I never expect a pitter to get it.

what could they hope to accomplish? break their own record for being in the losing side of the largest comeback in bowl history??

blanket statement on ALL Pitt fans? come on, now...just as bad as some of the lunatics on the Lair that make blanket statements about us.

no group was more pleased that children were molested in PA then the Panther Lair crew

the fact your own university got called out for putting kids at risk absolutely delights you

Thanks... Both bowl games should be played in Birmingham on non-consecutive week days, one between Christmas and New Years Eve, the other after the National Title game.
