Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, May 18, 2006

Former Purdue player Cherelle George disputes the findings in a report recently completed by the university involving academic misconduct.

The report says that former assistant coach Katrina Merriweather helped George too much in writing a paper. George says she showed a completed paper to Merriweather to have her look it over. "Everyone thinks since they're adults, they don't lie. But I was innocent. It's not right; I'm not guilty. I wrote my paper. I'm not going to be quiet about it."

One of the interesting parts of the story is that another former assistant coach Jannon Roland Lampley is the one who reported the academic misconduct. The report says that former head coach Kristy Curry believed that Lampley's reporting was centered around Lampley's unhappiness with her job and the fact her contract would not be renewed at the end of the season.

In other Purdue news, former recruit Amber Harris is reportedly headed to Xavier University.
