Johnson Klein awarded 19.1 million in lawsuit against Fresno State. Read article at www.espn.com click on womens basketball.
Never have seen specifics of the allegations. The article emphasizes the school's position, but doesn't really tell what was supposed to have happened to her. Odd. Always hard to know who to believe in these situations.

(in the newspaper's instant poll as of this time, 41percent said Fresno should've won.)
Some of the highlights:
Stacy Johnson-Klein says
*Randy Welniak, her supervisor, sexually harassed Johnson-Klein by saying she shouldn't dress so provocatively at games and public events, and used the word "cleavage."
*Former athletic director Scott Johnson sexually harassed Johnson-Klein when he said during a public event that a booster might want to "play defense" with her.
*Fresno State had a double standard for women's basketball because it was tardy in getting the program a soft-drink machine and a director of operations; the men's basketball program had both.
*Fresno State had a double standard for women's basketball because men's basketball coach Ray Lopes had a better parking spot.
Fresno State says
*Johnson-Klein took a half-bottle of prescription painkillers from a player.
*Johnson-Klein told several assistant coaches to give part of their bonuses to the team secretary; the coaches paid taxes on the full amount.
*Johnson-Klein talked restaurants into feeding her for free, then pocketed the per diem.
*Johnson-Klein made some players pick up her hotel room, then pack and carry her bags. *Johnson-Klein bought 900 prescription painkillers from late October 2004 through late January 2005; President John Welty testified he would have fired her just for this excessive use had he known.
Wow, it's kind of OBVIOUS which side you're on from how you highlighted the issues. Bizarre.Quote:

This is two in a row for Fresno state on discrimination suits. The former female Volleyball coach was recently awarded just under 5 million due to discrimination.
Now the volleyball coach is gonna sue the courts because she was discriminated against. Why should basketball warrant $19 mil and VB only $5 mil? Hmmmm????
We need tort reform......bad!
I think the volleyball case went first and won. She only asked for 5 million. SJK just had a better lawyer and asked for more.Quote:

I always thought highly of Stacey as a coach. Fresno seems really messed up.
And throughout all of the court drama... she's still hottt...
Of

This is a bizarre case with a lot of interest to Tech folks and I found the readout very simple.

That makes me happy, congrats Stacy!
C'mon. You guys are losing your touch. Where are the pictures? :) A year ago this thread would have been 10 pages of pictures already.
