Westwood woe

When Athletic Director Dan Guerrero says the athletic department was unaware that when Eric Scott was hired he had a criminal record (admitting guilt to separate misdemeanor concealed weapons charges in 1996 and 2005, and misdemeanor disturbing the peace in 2002), it makes you wonder what kind of employment screening process UCLA has in place.

What a relief that Dan Guerrero now knows all about Eric Scott’s past criminal history and has informed him regarding UCLA’s standards. Let’s see if I understand this correctly:

Burglary, out.

Hit-and-run, in.

Lying, out.

Getting handicapped placards, in.

Got it. Now back to recruiting.

Is it not enough that the top schools made a farce of the student/athlete in the last 30 years? We now are informed that UCLA will have a thug walking the sidelines during football games.
