Lane should simply leave it alone and get on with his life. People get bad breaks all the time. How about the 56 year old Kodak employee who's worked for the place for 30 years and is out of a job because no one buys film anymore? Or the wife who's been married for 32 years whose husband has left her for the hot looking 26 year old in the sales department? Or the mother with three small kids whose breast biopsy just came up positive for cancer?
Gothard...take your settlement and enjoy the rest of your career and your life. Best of luck to you my friend........ and don't waste your time looking back at St. Bonaventure University.

I would like to read the book because as with any event or story there is a lot of information left untold. Over the last three years there have been a lot of posts about on the board about Questa and her real role. And how could the academic administrators on campus not stop the transfer of Jamil. After all he was a welder. Again, a lot of posts say that Wickenheiser was a bully so people working on campus were afraid of him. The book, if ever written, might be informative. Like they said in Watergate, "What did they know and when did they know it".

I may read it just to get a different perspective but I would assume that "Schultz, Jr." would have another tainted history in retrospect that would indicate his obvious denial. Again, I have no compassion for someone who knew that something was wrong and yet didn't take it to a much higher power. He either had doubts that he was right and decided not to get in any deeper because of his doubts or he just didn't care enough to take it to the NCAA beforehand. That would have saved this university a LOT of grief if done the right way. He chose to take his chances and went down with the ship, as he should have.

Does anyone see a parallel with the Enron story. Leader Lay being told by others of the financial troubles, illegal activities, etc.
This could be a lively discussion.

Coach SBU, did you have any compassion for our former Board of Trustees Chairman. I read the Rochester D&C and he admitted in the paper in 2003 that he knew about the problem a year before it became public because Lane came to him for help and he failed to do anything about it. The former chair could have save the university a LOT of grief.

I had the pleasure of meeting the former chairman at several fund raising events. He was passionate about the university and loved it very much, but he did drop the ball in 2002. He was asked to stop Wickenheiser and he did not. As Bona 799 said, he could have stopped the mess before it got started. He is more responsible that anyone else, no? Wickenheiser was the problem. He made the decision and everyone on campus and maybe off campus feared him.
