From NKU Athletics
Is NKU going to recognize Todd Johnson and Tyler White for their many contributions to the program? The AD at NKU should be in prison, not giving away tickets to Green Bay events. He allowed three basketball players to get away with sexual assault and under oath admitted to it. The community should boycott all NKU events until Bothof and Mearns are fired. They looked the other way in two rapes, Jane Doe and the three basketball players in 2015 before David Bezold was fired. How attached is Bothof to Green Bay? Givinga way Packers tickets in Northern Ky.? Give me a break.
