8. #2 Crisis Statement: 9 minutes
*Your coach (Smith) has been accused of
bribing a football recruit to sign with your
school
*Decide his fate, how to respond to media
query from local newspaper
with a three-sentence statement
9. My Statement
The Athletic Department Compliance Department at
University of Wisconsin has determined through an internal
investigation that Coach Smith offered the father of a
football recruit $5,000 to sign a letter of intent. Because of
this serious violation, we have terminated his contract
immediately. Coach John Grove will take over as interim
coach effective immediately. To ensure this doesn’t happen
in the future, we are providing mandatory training on
recruitment policies for all of our coaches and have
instituted a new monitoring system for our program.
