He resigned preemptively, but it's a detailed article about a donor trip that cost an AD his job.

From the OP link...

Quote:WGLT was planning to publish a story Thursday about the December 2021 trip when ISU pre-emptively announced Brennan’s resignation. Brennan and another top Athletics administrator spent over $23,000 on the trip. The one-day junket included a stop at a strip club.

SMDH x100. How can you be so stupid and tone deaf? Thus, you lose your job - deservedly so.

Note: That ISU is in Illinois, not Iowa.

Most likely never hear of this if the $3M donation that the trip won hadn’t been pulled by the feds as the donor’s assets were frozen.

I thought the same thing.

Just where you want your AD to hang LOL...



The Red Garter Gentlemen's Club in downtown Indianapolis is a short walk from Lucas Oil Stadium.

Pretty entertaining 100+ post thread on the Illinois St board. If you read pages 2-3, a new account pops up explaining away the expenses, details left out, and how this is a hitjob by the media. The user was immediately pegged by everyone as the AD himself.

The Donor:
They accuse him of taking $74 million in direct payments, and spending millions more of company funds to buy a variety of lavish, luxury goods and services as well as a weed business, his own brand management company, and an albino turtle breeding business.

The complaint alleges that Rossi also used the funds to buy boats, University of Tennessee football tickets, Louis Vuitton luggage and even a $30 subscription to a site (AshleyMadison) helping married people start affairs. Last year, 25 News reported Rossi purchased two jets and a fleet of more than 60 cars and SUV, some of which were high end imports.


The ISU employees showed poor judgment, but I bet they had no clue what they were getting in to with this particular donor. I wonder if any of the albino turtles were involved.

So how many of you clicked this link hoping it was your AD?

It really doesn't sound extravagant. Just poorly planned. Paying $2000 for 9 good Big 10 ccg tickets the day before the event. That was 18k of the 23k. Assuming the other 7 seats were for donors and not employees of the strip club. Strip club pretty stupid move.

Great reading! I love this response by one of their users.

On the Red Garter Gentleman's Club theme ...

... the ladies once referred to Bill Dazzle's man residence as the Pink Bustier.

Arety's Angels Pensacola, FL LOL.

They were clearly just there scouting for potential talent for the women’s athletic programs. I’m sure some of those dancers were ex-high school athletes that went un-scouted.

They should've settled for Hooters LOL.

People are missing the real story by not googling the donor. His deeds just read like a list of things that only sound like good ideas after a mountain of coke.
