| Request to approve a disqualification plan disqualifying Charles Winstead, Jr., Head Coach of the LSU Men's Golf Team, from participating in any recommendations or decisions to recruit his son or award his son any athletic scholarships to play on the LSU Men's Golf Team. |
|
Charles Winstead, Jr. is the Head Coach for the LSU Men's Golf Team. His son is a junior in high school and he is ranked in the top twenty golf prospects in the nation. His current ranking would result in his consideration as a recruit and scholarship recipient for the LSU Men's Golf Team. Under normal circumstances, Coach Winstead, as the Head Coach, would participate in the recommendation and decision making concerning the recruitment of and awarding of scholarships to players on the golf team.
Joseph Alleva, the Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics proposes that Garrett Runion, the Assistant Coach, would be responsible for the decision as to whether to recruit Coach Winstead's son, and if he recommends that a scholarship should be offered to his son, such recommendation would be made to Mr. Alleva and Mr. Alleva will make the final decision. Mr. Alleva asserts that this disqualification plan will not have an impact on the efficient operation of the Athletic Department.
