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
It's kinda bizarre how YOU didn't go to the link and see the exact same highlights in the Fresno Bee article.Quote:

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.

Apparently someone dressed a little more conservatively for court!
Holy crap that is great! Pretty sure I busted out laughing with this one! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:Quote:

And you guys are so thin-skinned that you don't read sarcasm into anything. I guess from now on, I'll spell out every single implied sarcastic line so as not to be misunderstood.Quote:

This kind of unending drama is what will keep Fresno St. out of the Mountain West and they can't even dream about the Pac-10.
This story says she was awarded 19.74 million. Doesn't sound like much, but it's a difference of about $650,000 from the previous story.

We'd appreciate it (now that you've been busted). "Bright" (to use your adjective) people know how to use emoticoms when they think they're sarcastic.:icon_razz:Quote:

Yep, she even looked good with the more conservative court clothes. I have seen her in a jogging suit before and she looked good even in that. Of course, she had a little upper body work done after she got to California.Quote:

I actually prefer her dressed down without all the face spackle. She's perfectly beautiful without the makeup and big hair.
with or without she is just a pretty pretty lady
Since there is no emoticon for what I'd like to say to you, I'll send this one instead. :rolleyes4: And don't open the red dot door unless you're willing to spend some time there.:icon_wink: On second thought :angry:, perhaps you have nothing better to do than red dot someone just for disagreeing with you. :o Hmmm :argue:, maybe it is actually you who likes to provoke people. :rolleyes:Quote:

I will give her one thing, she is good at the ole bait and hook. She baits you guys, and apparently Fresno State administration by her attire. Then, hooks you with a $19.1 for commenting on it - " playing defense with her"......etc.......:rolleyes4:.
And one more thing, beauty or no beauty, she is nuts.
It's all good. Glad you can follow instructions.:rolleyes:Quote:

You take my post and decide to question its/my objectivity.
Your hand is called on it and you get uncomfortable.
You can get comfortable in the same panties you got uncomfortable.
What is the lawyer in the background looking at? :DQuote:

Friday the courts rejected the $19 million verdict and reduced it to 6.6 million. A new trial will be ordered if she doesn't accept.
After the lawyer's cut, she should clear over $4 million.Quote:
