Cary Groth's Corruption

"Some Really Bad People"

2012-03-19T02:26:51Z

There are some really bad people at the University right now that need to go.

              I really admire [the individuals] for standing up to them.

A.D. Cary Groth's Signature Authority Revoked?

2012-02-02T03:03:00Z

A whole lot of people are saying the same thing...nobody is denying it...and, UNR appears to confirm....

That Athletic Director Cary Groth has had her signature authority on financial matters in Nevada Athletics revoked by the University President.

This information has been passed on by sources over the past several weeks.

Bruce Shively, Associate Vice President of Planning, Budget, and Analysis, was confronted about this "rumor" and did not deny it.

Sure enough, UNR updated its "Signature Authority List" on August 3, 2011. Lo and behold, the athletics department reads as follows:

                    ATHLETICS (ICA)
                Marc Johnson, President
                Cary Groth GIA/LOA/EVAL

Notably, Athletics is the only department on campus (other than the President's Office) that has the President listed as the signature authority.

Additionally, Groth is the only department head with limitations listed next to her name.

The abbreviations next to Groth's name stand for: Grant-In-Aid (athletic scholarships), Letter of Appointment (temporary hires), and Evaluations (personnel evaluations).

So, according to this public document, Groth is only allowed to sign on scholarship offers, temporary hires, and personnel evaluations!

A critical aspect of a Division I Athletic Director's job is to manage the department's budget. Yet, Groth has had her authority revoked on Nevada Athletics finances?

What exactly is Groth's job if she is not trusted with oversight of finances in the department?

Managing winning programs is not part of her job description.

For those keeping score, Nevada's fall sports (volleyball, soccer, and football) had another very-Cary Groth-like weekend . . . going 1-4.

Oversight of NCAA compliance is not part of her job description.

So President Johnson, how is this fraud of an A.D. still employed in your administration?

Nevada A.D. Cary Groth Can Be Dismissed For Cause

2012-02-02T02:59:00Z

University of Tennessee head basketball coach Bruce Pearl was recently let go.

As ESPN reporter, Jay Bilas, said, "Pearl crossed a line when he lied to the NCAA".

Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth has to be paying close attention to this story.

Tennessee dismissed their highly successful coach (and rightly so), yet President Glick gave Groth a contract extension despite his knowledge that she engaged in the exact same behavior.

Psst...the contract extension, given last year, isn't worth the paper it is written on. Groth can be dismissed for cause at anytime.

More Stalking Behavior By Athletic Director Cary Groth

2012-02-01T18:13:05Z

One day we were asked to meet with employees of the RGJ to discuss Athletic Director Cary Groth.  They had explained that they planned to print an honest portrayal of Groth.

Apparently what we shared with them was too much for them to stomach.   They never printed it.   Hmmm . . . maybe Ted Power was behind the blackout.

Anyway, the more interesting part of the story was that shortly after we left the RGJ building, our cell phone rang. It was someone we had only met on one other occasion.

This person said that they wanted to let us know that Groth "knew you were just at the RGJ".   They said she called 15 minutes after we left there to do damage control.

The person on the phone was noticeably rattled that Groth was keeping such close tabs on our whereabouts.  We said this demonstrates just how much Groth has to hide.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Commits Despicable Perjury

2012-02-01T18:12:01Z

Athletic Director Groth testified under oath in two separate depositions that she "showed" a June 22, 2006, email containing reports of NCAA violations in the Nevada men’s basketball program to Faculty Athletic Representative Dr. Chris Exline so he could commence an investigation.

Groth further stated that she "had a conversation" with Exline about the email.

However, Dr. Exline had passed away on April 11, 2006, two months before the existence of the June 22, 2006 email.

Not only did Groth lie, she placed blame for a lack of investigation into the allegations on an innocent man who is unable to defend himself.

Dispicable Leadership Under Athletic Director Cary Groth

2012-02-01T18:10:04Z

Chuck Wynne, of the NCAA, said . . . "We’re all about student-athlete well-being" . . .

At the University of Nevada, Reno, however, the administration attempts to "use" student-athletes to cover up their corruption.

Then interim Coach Antoinette Marjanovic conspired with Executive Associate Athletic Director Cindy Fox to solicit manufactured evidence from student-athletes:

I [student-athlete’s name redacted] was contacted by an athletic department employee, Antoinette Marjanovic. She asked me if I would send in a written complaint about [our coach]. Marjanovic said that Cindy Fox stopped in her office and said if you can get the student athletes to write complaints that [our coach's] presence makes them uncomfortable we can use those statements to get her banned from campus.

So much for student-athlete well being . . .

"The Morally Corrupt Cary Groth"

2012-02-01T18:08:39Z

Reader Feedback:

Can you please explain how the morally corrupt Cary Groth still has a job?????????

Athletic Director Cary Groth Violated Her Employment Contract

2010-06-23T19:45:00Z

In March of 2009, the whistleblower decision was remanded on appeal after presentation of evidence of perjury, falsification of evidence, and concealment of documents by Athletic Director Cary Groth, General Counsel Mary Dugan and Attorney Kent Robison.

Yet, despite full knowledge of Groth’s criminal acts (felonies), President Glick rewarded her with a 3-year contract extension in September.

Groth’s contract has moral turpitude and ethical standards clauses (section 4.03.b) that have been ignored by the University President with no regard for the consequence to the university, the athletic program, and the student-athletes.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Lies To Donors, Judges, Others

2010-06-23T19:30:00Z

We recently reviewed minutes from the AAUN (athletic department donors) meetings. The minutes revealed that Cary Groth lies to the donors too. Unbelievable.

It is stunning that the Athletic Director would lie to a group of people who are voluntarily donating their time, energy, and money to the Nevada Athletic Department. She is a sad role model for the student-athletes.

Groth also told these same donors that the university won the whistleblower hearing. However, she failed to tell them that the whistleblower decision was remanded on appeal due to her perjury, falsification of evidence, and concealment of documents.

She also failed to tell them that the hearing officer was suspended for his misconduct in that case. So much for operating with transparency.

After 2+ years of witnessing A.D. Groth lie under oath, lie in affidavits, lie to the media, lie to donors, lie to judges, and lie to "others", we were compelled to do research on liars.

Groth's behavioral issues meet the published criteria of both a pathological and compulsive liar.

So much for honesty and integrity in athletics!

AD Cary Groth Commits Perjury - NCAA Violation Cover Up

2010-06-23T19:25:00Z

Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth committed more perjury . . . pertaining to her own cover-up of NCAA violations in the Nevada Men's Basketball Program.

Athletic Director Cary Groth's Under Oath Lie:

ATTORNEY KENT ROBISON: .... did you become aware later that [Coach] accepted money in exchange for not reporting [Assistant Basketball Coach] to the NCAA?

CARY GROTH: I did.

ROBISON: Is that violative of the role of a coach at the University of Nevada, Reno?

GROTH: It is a coach's responsibility to inform us of any potential NCAA violations.

Groth and Robison know that this coach NEVER accepted any money from an Assistant Basketball Coach in exchange for not reporting NCAA violations.

There is absolute proof of this. The Assistant Basketball Coach has also stated that this is a lie by Groth.

So why would Groth lie about this? Because she covered up NCAA violations in the basketball program and subsequently violated her role as Nevada's Athletic Director.

Psst: We can only hope that Dr. Jean Perry reported AD Groth's misconduct (perjury and cover up of NCAA violations) to the NCAA. Perry oversees compliance at UNR so it would be violative of her role if she failed to do so.

It is Groth's lack of leadership that has the University under investigation by the NCAA.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Tampered With Witnesses

2010-06-23T19:20:00Z

The following is an example of witness tampering by University of Nevada, Reno Athletic Director Cary Groth, Executive Associate Athletic Director Cindy Fox, and Head Golf Coach Rich Merritt.

Q: "Did Cary Groth ever call you and encourage you to stay out of this?"

WITNESS: "Yes, she did."

Q: "Did Cindy Fox?"

WITNESS: "Yes, she did."

Q: "Did Rich Merritt?"

WITNESS: "Yes, he did."

The witness then testified about what AD Cary Groth said to her:

WITNESS: "You are going to want to stay quiet. Keep your mouth shut. Stay quiet, you know, stay out of this because it's going to involve attorneys and to protect your family you don't want to be involved."

Q: "Did anybody ever say to you that Terri wasn't your friend?"

WITNESS: "Yes, Associate AD Cindy Fox. She called my house . . . I pretty much kind of questioned her because Terri and Cindy were so close."

"Cindy said the same thing that Cary said, 'Stay out of it, you know, protect your family. Protect those boys . . . remain quiet. Don't talk to Terri,' those types of things."

Q: "Similar to what Cary Groth said to you?"

WITNESS: "Yes."

Q: "Was Cindy Fox still your supervisor at the time?"

WITNESS: "Yes."

Athletic Director Cary Groth ... More Lies!

2010-06-23T19:10:00Z

Athletic Director Cary Groth was made aware (via an email) on June 22nd, 2006 that a coach had knowledge of NCAA violations in the men's basketball program.

This is Cary Groth's testimony regarding that email:

Groth read that e-mail and she acknowledges that in her deposition.

Groth concedes she did not take the allegations of violations in the email to her Director of Compliance.

Groth also says she did not tell Jean Perry about it because "Jean Perry wasn't hired at the time" (June 22, 2006). Perry oversees the compliance office in the Nevada Athletic Department.

Athletic Director Groth testified under oath that "Jean Perry wasn't hired at the time" (June 22, 2006). If you go back one page to 1829, it proves that Jean Perry was hired five months earlier.

Jean Perry began working in the athletic department on January 1st, 2006.

So that was another lie by Groth in her coverup of NCAA violations.

Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth Commits Perjury

2010-06-23T18:50:00Z

Here is more direct evidence of felonies committed by the "upstanding" role model and leader of the Nevada Athletic Department, Athletic Director Cary Groth.

Deposition 1: Cary Groth said she picked up the phone and called Dedrique Taylor.

Deposition 2 (12 days after Deposition 1): Groth confirmed that she called Mr. Taylor.

In an interview just 3 weeks after these depositions, Groth told the NCAA she did not recall contacting Dedrique Taylor.

UNR was then asked to produce the record of Groth's phone call to Dedrique Taylor. It is a long-distance phone call (between Groth and Taylor) so that is easy to produce with a billing invoice.

However, UNR says there is no document responsive to this request. BUSTED!

Dedrique Taylor also reported that Groth never called him. BUSTED AGAIN!

Athletic Director Groth is caught lying under oath...yet again.

By the way, UNR President Milton Glick is informed of Groth's criminal misconduct.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Falsified Evidence

2010-06-23T18:45:00Z

How does University of Nevada, Reno Athletic Director Cary Groth falsify evidence?

Here is an email from a former UNR employee to Groth:

Can you remind me again what that email I need to say to you needs to have in it?

Forty-three (43) minutes later, at the direction of Groth, an email arrives from this former employee with Groth's manufactured evidence.

                                 *                                *                                   *

Did you know it is a felony to falsify evidence? Yes, Cary Groth committed yet another felony on the job. Groth engaged in this illegal activity through her UNR email account.

Why did this former employee take part in this criminal activity? Because he too was guilty of misconduct (violating NCAA rules) on the job and therefore conspired with Groth to cover it up.

Does Athletic Director Cary Groth Have Behavior Issues?

2010-06-23T18:35:00Z

After reviewing some of her lies / perjury, you may find this quite interesting:

QUESTION: Do you consider lying and committing perjury behavior issues?

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR CARY GROTH: Yes.

The Athletic Director at the University of Nevada, Reno admits under oath that she considers lying and committing perjury behavior issues . . . And Groth has repeatedly lied and committed perjury.

Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth Accused Of Corruption

2010-06-23T18:25:00Z

Below is one of the signs that was on display at the recent demonstration in support of a grand jury investigation of corruption by University of Nevada, Reno officials. This sign was also shown on Channel 4 TV several times.

UNR's Police Chief Adam Garcia, General Counsel Mary Dugan, President Milton Glick, Athletic Director Cary Groth.

Athletic Director Cary Groth's Illegal And Retaliatory Acts

2010-06-23T18:20:00Z

UNR lawyers, Athletic Director Cary Groth, and President Milton Glick engaged in illegal and retaliatory activity during the hearing on public corruption at UNR that caused the Judge to shut the court down for 40 minutes. They were not allowed to participate in the hearing yet they caused a scene that was a disgraceful representation of themselves and UNR.

Citizens presented evidence of numerous felonies committed by Athletic Director Cary Groth.

Such evidence of crimes committed by Groth included: perjury, falsification of evidence, conspiring with others to falsify evidence, falsification of public documents, obstruction of justice, retaliation, tampering with witnesses (this included Groth threatening a witness' family), lying in affidavits, more perjury, submitting false evidence to the court, harassment, and even more perjury!

We also presented evidence of crimes by UNR General Counsel Mary Dugan, President Glick, Police Chief Adam Garcia, outside lawyer Kent Robison, and several others.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Violates NCAA Ethical Standards

2010-06-23T18:16:00Z

University of Nevada Athletic Director Cary Groth retained Golf Coach Rich Merritt with full knowledge that he repeatedly lied and mislead the administration.

President Glick retained AD Groth with full knowledge that she has lied to donors, judges, students, employees, colleagues, the community, and "others" in her position as A.D.

Glick also knows that AD Groth committed perjury on numerous occasions and falsified documents to cover up her own misconduct.

Glick rewarded his corrupt Athletic Director with a 3-year contract extension.

The NCAA is the governing body that sets the rules and standards of conduct that Groth and Glick are supposed to adhere to as representatives of UNR.

See this quote from an NCAA major infractions case involving another university:

This was a serious infractions case, which included academic fraud and the provision of false and misleading information, violations the NCAA Committee on Infractions considers to be egregious.

Clearly the actions of Groth and Glick are not congruent with the spoken edict of the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

Athletic Director Cary Groth Covers Up NCAA Violations

2010-06-23T18:10:00Z

University of Nevada, Reno's Athletic Director Cary Groth covers up NCAA violations in her department. She does not want them reported internally or externally.

In a situation involving the Nevada men's basketball program, Groth threatened a coach in writing if the coach reported NCAA violations in the men's basketball program.

In another situation, Groth said she would write a letter to clear a student-athlete to play without clearance by the NCAA. That is a huge no-no. The student-athlete was fortunately cleared to play by proper merit before Groth put this student-athlete and the program at serious risk.

In the case of the men's golf program, a witness testified under oath that Groth was going to write a letter clearing the "former" men's golf coach of several allegations against him without any investigation.

Groth and the Golf Coach were alleged to be friends. Groth did not dispute that she sent him emails/pictures of her social outings, gave him gifts, etc.

Groth has put the Nevada Athletic Department at risk of major NCAA sanctions.

The Nevada Athletic Department continues to be under investigation by the NCAA.
