Who Loves Knockers and Golf?
OK, who doesn't?
But apparently John Junker REALLY loves knockers and golf, he just wasn't supposed to run it through the Fiesta Bowl expense account.
PlayoffPAC says these are some of the items in the scathing internal report:
- A $1,200 bill for its CEO to visit a Phoenix strip club;
- More than $33,000 for the CEO's four-day birthday bash in Pebble Beach, California;
- Roughly $13,000 for the wedding and honeymoon of the CEO's assistant;
- Four golf club memberships for Bowl executives;
Well, a couple of things bother me here. One, this is a nonprofit/charity type or organization. Second, if you are on the company tab how do you ONLY spend $1,200 at a titty bar. Rookie.
I hope Dan Wetzel continues to point his flamethrower at this stuff.

Let’em burn.
This story and behavior like it, because I’m sure other bowls are just as crooked, will ultimately be the downfall of the BCS. How do you think Connecticut school officials and taxpayers feel about giving Junker and his friends over a million dollars for unsold tickets?
My favorite expense not mentioned above was Junker had a vacation for he and his wife to Napa Valley picked up so he could “visit Coach Jeff Tedford.” Right.

Now the Cotton Bowl can step in to the 4th BCS spot. Imagine OU and UT getting to play a de facto home game in Arlington for the national title like LSU, USC, and Florida all have.

Good lord. This goofball pulls down 600 large every year and gets to play golf and get dry humped by silicone sisters all for free?
How does one even get that job?

Is this for real? That guy made that much as the head of a bowl game? Wow. Now that’s a gravy train. Is Wetzel’s book good?

Best call of the day: “if you are on the company tab how do you ONLY spend $1,200 at a titty bar. Rookie.”
Clearly not executive material.

Now you know why so many monied interests defend the status quo bowl system with such fervor when everyone with common sense knows a playoff would be huge. It’s a gigantic, engrained gravy train that they’ll fight tooth and nail to keep running (yes, more money is made by a playoff, but wouldn’t necessarily be by these same goofballs in the ugly jackets).
I’d like to see the line items showing how much he used to bribe Univ. Presidents, coaches and ADs to keep them on board with the corrupt current system errr, I mean grand tradition that is the bowl games.
I can hear ‘em now, "A playoff system would ruin the tradition and integrity of college football. Now who’s coming with me to the strip club for a ‘business’ meeting?"

I agree. Fiesta Bowl is out. Cotton Bowl is in. Jurrah is on it, it’s not like there’s anything else that he should be up to.

Dez Bryant thinks John Junker haz no skills.

Wetzel did get his flamethrower out.
++++++++++
“The Bowl Championship Series is so troubled by the graft exposed in Tuesday’s Fiesta Bowl corruption report that it appointed a special "task force." Among the members is an athletics director who accepted a free Caribbean cruise from the Orange Bowl just last summer.
Yes, there’s nothing like having a guy – in this case, Southern Mississippi’s Richard Giannini – who takes lavish gifts from one bowl game to judge another bowl game for giving out lavish gifts."

Someone is funding all this “investigating” methinks a great deal of that money is originating in Dallas Texas, and yes, I mean Dallas.

This scumbag is straight up racketeering. He should be brought up on the “honest services” provision of the RICO statutes, even if it has been watered down by the Supreme Court in a recent Enron related case.
