Weird "conflict of interest" story helps Randy Edsall at UConn...

[cto]

His son works for him as an assistant coach ... in violation of state "conflict of interest" laws, but an 11th hour amendment to an unrelated bill apparently makes it legal.

Amendment Slipped Into Unrelated Law Could Help UConn Coach Edsall's Son Keep Job

Amazing. You'd think that the administration would be too busy waging its public knife fight against KO to get involved in an ethics scandal with Edsall.

My reaction exactly. Amazing this was snuck through with no one noticing.

And not a good look for the AG's office either. I'm struggling to figure out how/why they would do a 36 page "brief" to convince the legislature to weasel Edsall's son into the state University - leaving the door wide open for future nepotism problems? Oye.
