It was announced Monday that Michigan State University is investigating the leak of the head football coach Mel Tucker debacle. As if that matters right now, considering the turmoil encompassing the university, but it does not surprise me. I worked at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh when I went to college there and believe me administrators are fabulous at trying to sweep problems under the rug and keeping them hidden. Addressing and dealing with problems head on is not their specialty. Quite honestly, not dealing with problems might be their specialty.

On a different note, MSU gave Tucker, a college football coach with a losing Big Ten record whose best finish in the Big Ten was third, the largest contract extension in the history of college football — $95 million over 10 years. Jeff Titus, 71 years old, was just released after spending 21 years in prison for a crime he was wrongfully convicted of and was paid $1.05 million by the state — $50,000 for each year.

So a man wrongfully spends 21 years of the last quality years of his life in prison is rewarded $1.05 million by the state, and a football coach with a losing conference record is rewarded with $95 million dollars by a state institution. Something is just not right with this scenario.
