Athletic department probe highlights
Sex harassment allegations
• Witnesses did not see Teague behave inappropriately toward athletic department employees or student athletes.
• Most witnesses described a positive work environment, in which men and women were supported.
• There was evidence of inappropriate behavior by Teague with people outside the U. Teague and the third parties declined to be interviewed.
Financial audit
• Athletic officials paid for expenses not allowed by U policy, including higher-priced hotels, $37,000 for private charter flights instead of commercial flights, first-class airfare for one staff member, and clothing and hair styling for women's basketball coach Marlene Stollings.
• Officials exceeded spending limits for meals, including a $2,741 cruise in Excelsior attended by donors Kelly Doran, Tim and Jennifer Horan, Bob and Lynne Cunningham, Teague and men's basketball coach Richard Pitino, among others.
• Teague approved expenses submitted by his staff for meals that he attended, circumventing a review by the president's office.
• Teague violated regents policy with $86,000 in no-bid contracts to a consulting firm owned by a consultant he knew from his previous job.
• There is no evidence of a contract or documentation of the U's relationship with the Villa 7 networking program for basketball coaches and its cosponsor, Nike.
• Payments to senior athletic officials for Gopher football and basketball radio interviews "bypassed institutional checks and balances."
