Lafayette DA launches investigation into UL athletic recruiting expenses

[NewsCopy]

The Lafayette District Attorney's Office confirmed it has launched a criminal investigation into allegations that athletic recruiting expenses at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette were falsified.

Former Associate Athletic Director Troy Wingerter is at the center of the case. Wingerter told News 15 last week that he was forced to retire following allegations involving about $5,000 in misappropriated funds.

I know it is only 5K, but the DA would not be involved unless there was maybe more to the story. Just saying, DA's don't just take on a case for no reason.

Or politics are possibly involved.

They are usually at the root of all evil, sometimes it's not as obvious.

Only when it looks like they could be involved...

[Turbine]

[Vobserver]

Don Landry, I think.

Meanwhile our former University President walks into the sunset a free man after running the school into a muti million $ hole....probably breaking state laws in the process.
