Another example of the justice system in this country failing. Steal $311,000, get caught, cost NKU another $200,000 in a hush-hush payoff, and go free after just two years.

 

What he did was pretty deplorable, and certainly deserves punishment. Don't know that he is a danger to society, and that a lengthy prison sentence does other than make the chances he become a useful member of society less likely.

Let's see: He had affairs with five women/men at NKU, stole more than $311,000, cost the university another $200,000 to pay off Chrissy Soards, the compliance woman to not sue NKU for sexual harassment, and he deviously plotted the Kroger gift card stunt to knowingly steal money. Honorable? You have some deep issues if you call him honorable.

 

He said people who worked with him and knew him felt he was an honorable man. Obviously he hid his true self from the public. Not unusual. Pretty common occurrence actually.

So he is ordered to pay restitution of $311k but only has to pay $250 a month. How does that work out?

 

What does this have to do with Highlands?

What does this have to do with Highlands?

 

Nothing really, it has more to do with Thor. :banana:

If it has nothing to do with Highlands, can a mod not change the name of the thread?

Nothing really, it has more to do with Thor. :banana:

 

Hadn't considered that. Petty.

Stick to the topic, not the member.

Allow me to re-state my quote: "Most of the athletic community, including myself who knew and worked with Scott Eaton, knew him to be a hard-working, reliable, athletic director and an honorable man.

Scott obviously had some weaknesses of the flesh, for which we all hope that he regrets, and will now take this second chance to make a productive life for himself.

 

I wish him the absolute best. "

 

Prior to the news breaking about his indisgressions, those of us in the athletic community thought that Scott was a stand-up guy. We were shocked when we learned of his womanizing and embezzelment. And this goes to the top of NKU admin.

 

Those of you who didn't know him or work side-by-side with him, know him only since the news broke of his shortcomings and you have formed opinions since then.

 

My point is this: We were all shocked when this went down and that Scott Eaton wasn't the honorable person we all took him to be.

 

I do hope he gets his life straightened out, puts this behind him, and becomes the man we all thought him to be.

 

I also wish that I could get his $250 a month payment deal on his $300,000 "loan."

Let's see: He had affairs with five women/men at NKU, stole more than $311,000, cost the university another $200,000 to pay off Chrissy Soards, the compliance woman to not sue NKU for sexual harassment, and he deviously plotted the Kroger gift card stunt to knowingly steal money. Honorable? You have some deep issues if you call him honorable.

 

Before all of that came out, I would have no problem describing him exactly how @Mustang did. My thoughts have since changed. But I think you would have found a lot of people in and around NKU that would have completely sung his praises before all of this came out.
