A fundamental question to me is why did the sailing coach risk so much personally to find ways to support his team? If I read the indictments properly, he didn't take a dime, the kickbacks all went to support Stanford Sailing.
Wrong, yes. Illegal, yes. Unethical, yes. With so much cash available to Stanford programs in general, I'm curious as to why he felt he needed to go to such extremes for the program.
What I can't fathom is why a perennial National Champion coach in a sport that gets at least a reasonable amount of attention such as water polo, and who presumably wouldn't have much trouble in getting recruits for as long as he wants and regularly winning [or, at a minimum, being in the hunt for] national championships for as long as he wants would get within 10,000 miles of something like this?
There must be something in the water at US.C...
