MBA Headmaster Brad Gioia Resigning?

[bigredguard13]

BRG13 you are obviously NOT a player on MBA's football team. That was made very clear last week when you posted DURING MBA's spring practice. You demean the team with your slander. Your motives are to stir up trouble and bash the MBA administration behind the guise of a football player. You have zero credibility and are one of the reasons folks don't spend much time on these forums anymore. I am sure you will spin up a new screen name, or pick one of the other dozen or so you use to lash out. Eventually though, you will mess up again. It has got to be really hard to keep up with so many lies?

 

Wrong and right maybe because stirring up trouble will help our school. We found out today we lost our defensive coordinator, an alum, and now is leaving to go to our rival. Plus our best young players are leaving.

MBA Football player absolutely not. Ex-coach with time on hand ,,,,,,, probably.

From the outside, the hire is made, the coach is in place and its over with. The rest of it ONLY has to do with internal MBA situations.

Just not sure it is over with. The headmaster is "dead man walking". Why is he still headmastering?

The cashiers check that was given to the student came from Dan McGugins father. This is a fact and not a rumor. I am sure this post will get taken off very quickly. Sometimes the truth hurts.

The reason the student wasn't given a regular check is because they were trying to hide where the check generated from.

In the fall of 2008, the dads on the sidelines heard a family needed money but did not know the family as the player was a freshman and not on the varsity. They rounded up $1500.00 cash and handed it to George McGugin on the field and told him to get it to the family. No secret- it was done in the open with many contributors. George McGugin, a board member at the time, did not know the family or the name. He went and got a cashiers check...he did not add to the pot...and put the check in an unmarked envelope which only said give to Chris Simonis. He put it in Daniel McGugin's faculty mailbox and did not tell his son. The coach opened the envelope, looked at the check, and passed it on to the player to give to his parents without questioning anything. This happened September 12, 2008. The family took it and said nothing about it until April 1, 2011 in writing to the headmaster. McGugin fired shortly thereafter for irregularities in financial aid.

 

The guys that pitched in to help somebody they did not know is classic MBA generosity with wonderful intentions. It has come back to bite them. They are sick to their stomachs at where this has taken the school.

You are sorely mistaken if you think this latest investigation has much, if anything, to with the situation you just rehashed. All that situation did was to open the door. Everyone already knew there was much more that was much deeper, but didn't know if it would come out. I'm afraid it is about to. In a day or two...

I was just responding to the incorrect belief of the previous poster that there were ill intentions by my friends that made the donations. You are so right that this incident was simply the opening of the door into the outhouse. Trust me, I am under no delusions.

I've always thought that this incident started off as you've described, and I think your description of the MBA community is dead-on. This issue fell off the tracks at the school. I find it hard to believe that any coach at MBA, let alone one who'd gone to MBA, wouldn't have realized that there would be issues with money coming through the school and its football coach to the player.

Don't be misled by this "story" from "deadaim", because that is all it is. At least the third Fairy Tale of how money was gathered. It tries to exonerate the corrupt coach by stirring alumni emotions around how generous parents get it stuck to them. I agree that MBA, as well as Ensworth, Lipscomb, and Ryan parents are very generous and giving. that has nothing at all to do with the actions of the coach. He broke the rules and was caught. Don't lose site of that fact because that is the only fact that has been published on this board.

That's pretty much what I said.
