Entirely? Certainly not.
That should be plenty clear
Is she A problem? You're damn right
That should, also, be plenty clear.
The new Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics "culture" under Tsunami Barbour

That should be plenty clear

Thirteen student-athletes come to their "advocate" with a concern.
They come to her in confidentiality.
The "advocate" immediately brings their names to the attention of the person who is at the root of their concerns.
Yeah.....we'll have to "wait and see" if these folks paid to advocate for the student-athletes might have made some errors.
We are now laying out over $1,000,000 per year in additional expenses for folks to fulfill these "student-athlete advocacy and wellness" crapola bureaucratic "jobs".....and to construct "Mission Statements" about all their righteous goals.
This is what you get.
When some entity yaps non-stop about INTEGRITY, or TRANSPARENCY, or whatever other corporate buzzword they espouse - - - you can pretty well assume that they haven't got ANY of the characteristics that they yap about.
LMAO
No one can be that stupid.

If I remember correctly, I read it a couple hours ago, it said that the complaint was forwarded to Dave Joyner. Why didn't he do anything about it considering he was all for firing capable coaches during his reign of terror!
Didn't you complain about the last era too? Anyone want to bet you complain about the next era too?
The problem with you is you complain about EVERYONE. You lose cred when you complain and then the administration hires someone the exact opposite and you still complain.
Barry, this may or may not turn out to be something. The Collegian presented the story--kudos to them for doing a bit of investigative reporting.
Where you lose me is all you do is bitch about athletics and PSU, yet you offer few, if any, solutions while continuing to take money off of the university.
Guess what? Tim Curley didn't eat unicorns and shit rainbows either.

Next time you get something correct......I'll let you know.
So, keep firing away

So basically ... everyone else is always wrong and you're always right ... makes perfect sense
So.....you ask a question.....you get an answer....and then stick to your incorrect assumption.
GENIUS!!!!!!
It's been more than a year and it can't be that time consuming. Can't imagine that Thomforde's Spawn couldn't dispose of this in a matter of weeks.
Restrictions on publicly commenting on personnel matters do not prevent them from responding in some way to the complainants. Regardless of the substance, this has not been well-managed,.
Brandwene's coaching methods could perhaps be rethought and improved.
I recall reading years ago about how (I believe it was UNC's women's lacrosse coach) that got his female players to feel more like a family and bond and care about one another and it resulted in great success in playing for one another and not wanting to let each other down.
One can't necessarily coach men and women the same way. Talent aside it might not hurt Brandwene to chat with Geno Auriemma or our own Russ Rose to learn how to get the most out of his players.
As a side note, does Urban Meyer still make players wear pink jerseys?

One former player's perspective...
Katie Vaughan
"I started in net his first year as a coach at Penn State, before the team officially transitioned to Division I. I was one of his favorites on the team, so I didn't experience the amount of abuse the rest of the girls did. He's the type of coach that completely rips away your confidence to make you more easily manipulated. He pinned our entire team against each other and took the joy out of hockey for many of us. The women who spoke out against him were not being sour grapes, though I see how it could be misconstrued that way from an outside perspective. But I'm here to tell you that everything they said was true and this man does not deserve to be a coach at any level of hockey."

Parasitic, lying pieces of crap:
This is such a non-story, a coach yelled at his players in practice. A few girls just weren't cutting it and was told about it and now they want to hold everyone accountable cause they are embarrassed cause they stunk.
What is the issue here? A college athlete was told by her coach to lose weight..
Wait, it's Sandy fault.
Please tell me you're kidding. Just trying to pull one's chain? Right? Please?
I swear, it's the same mentality that you see when folks think the biggest issue with Health Care in this country is that their Physician drives an expensive car
Almost as bad as blaming it on someone who wasn't even here when it happened, no?
"He knocked over my stick". Really?
I'm obviously missing something, especially when it comes to certain highly-physical sports involving females coached by males.
