Oregon brought former Stanford athletics director Ted Leland to Eugene to produce a State of the Cas Center report.
According to sources, Leland spent two days interviewing UO coaches, athletics administrators and donors, to assess the athletic department under Bill Moos.
Presumably, he presented his evaluation, the good and the not, to UO president Dave Frohnmayer.
A question: Had Moos, by then, already determined that he was moving on, and the purpose of this was to leave an objective outside analysis for Frohnmayer and the next AD?
Or did Leland's findings have an effect on Oregon's decision to seek close to $2 million from donors to forge a resignation agreement with Moos?
(The Register-Guard has requested a copy of Leland's report under the state's open records law.)
In addition to the question posed by Ron Bellamy I have several of my own as follows:
1. Will the University of Oregon disclose the Leland report under the state's open records law or will the Register Guard have to go to court?...Who will win?
2. Who asked for the Leland Report in the first place? Dave Frohnmayer has close contacts with Stanford... was it him? Dan Williams?
3. What was the reason for the report?.... to send a message to Moos?..... to set up Bill Moos?...to help pick a new AD?
