Finally some good news. Such a crock of this was an issue. Waste of time money and resources over nothing.

Mike Anthony: Judge ruling shows ethics challenge in UConn football coaching case was a waste of time

>>The introduction of common sense to Randy Edsall’s legal battle with the Citizen’s Ethics Advisory Board came Thursday via two succinct declarations by Superior Court Judge Joseph Shortall that amounted to a pound-your-chest UConn victory and an embarrassing defeat for the Citizen’s Ethics Advisory Board.

The board, Shortall wrote in a ruling, was "clearly erroneous in view of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence on the whole record” and exhibited "clearly unwarranted exercise of discretion" in claims that Edsall’s son, UConn assistant coach Corey Edsall, should not be able to keep his job.<<

A well deserved smack down.

Translation -- the legislature a statute with a big, gaping hole in it. That the University exploited it is not their fault, and there is not a damn thing the ethics committee can do about it. This was always the case.

 

[Waquoit]

Well, that's a relief. I was worried about the impact to our recruiting.

...the legal equivalent of "RTFM," no?

I don't care about the immediate case -- I care about the precedent it would have set.

Is this ruling a good thing or a bad thing for UConn football?

Could not disagree with this take more. Did you read the whole decision? The courts calls out the Ethics board for fabricating its positions. Those who are calling a body slam are spot on.

I read the entire decision, and I do love some of the slapping around that the court does. But the case hinged on whether he was an employee. He wasn't, and there is only a potential violation under the statute if he was. The entire case was about that issue, and that issue only.

Nope. It was also about whether the supervision of Corey plan put in place was a sham as asserted by the Ethics Board. The court clearly and unequivocally said that the Ethics Board was wrong on both counts.

Everyone with a brain in his/her heads knew this was a colossal waste of time...except for the dopes in CT's Ethics Board. Thanks for wasting more taxpayer money, Ethics Board. The land of steady and stupid habits.
