UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA ATHLETICS

Outside investigation largely clears school

BRIAN BAKST and STEVE KARNOWSKI
Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS Top University of

Minnesota officials didnt know about
athletic director Norwood Teagues conduct before he abruptly resigned for sexual
harassment, according to an external review
Tuesday that also found no fault with the
general climate around the issue within
the sports department.
Teague stepped down in August after
two high-ranking university administrators reported he sexually harassed them at
a senior leadership retreat weeks earlier.
Teague acknowledged improper behavior

and alcohol abuse in resigning.

The review by an outside law firm didnt
find major flaws with the universitys vetting of Teague before he was hired. The
university had been criticized for missing
a gender discrimination complaint against
Teague when he worked at Virginia Commonwealth University.
By and large, the athletics department
reflects the respect toward women that
Minnesotans expect of this flagship educational institution, lead investigator Karen
Schanfield told the Board of Regents on
Tuesday. We found no systemic or pervasive inappropriate behavior in the athletics
department when it comes to the treatment

of women.
Regents Chairman Dean Johnson promised decisive action once officials fully digest
the findings, which also recommended
improving response to sexual harassment
and strengthening hiring procedures.
If our policies have been violated, we
will take corrective action, he said. Where
there are problems, we will fix them.
University President Eric Kaler said the
review validated his belief that the culture
of the sports program is respectful and

inferiority in Sundays 38-7 loss to Seattle.

He was drafted to bury Christian Ponders malfunctioning popgun, not exhume
the shattered remains.
Yet here are the Vikings once again,
in the thick of playoff contention facing
tough questions about their quarterback
and shrink-wrapped scheme.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Moving Ricky

Nolascos remaining $25 million obligation
halfway through a four-year deal wont be
easy, but the Twins are investigating possible trade destinations for the veteran
right-hander.
Theyre trying, said a person that had
been in contact with the Twins front office
during this weeks winter meetings.
Due $12 million in each of the next two
seasons, plus a $1 million buyout on a $13
million club option for 2018, Nolasco has
contributed just 196 innings and a 5.64
earned-run average for the Twins because
of elbow and ankle issues.
The 2018 option vests with
a combined 400 innings
over the next two seasons,
but that seems unlikely
based on Nolascos first two
seasons in Minnesota.
Set to turn 33 on Dec. 13,
Nolasco has the contractual
right to block trades to three
Nolasco
teams. According to a person with direct knowledge, all three teams
are big-market clubs on the East Coast.
It might help, of course, if the Twins
were willing to eat some of Nolascos salary,
something they have historically avoided.
Twins owner Jim Pohlad, however, recently
told the Pioneer Press he would be willing,
in general, to authorize it in order to move
a bad contact.
We wouldnt be above doing that. We
would do that, Pohlad said. If youve got
a situation, youve got to figure out any way
you can to solve it.
The San Diego Padres have been mentioned as a possible trade match as they seek
to escape a long-term obligation of their
own. Disappointing right-hander James
Shields has $65 million and three years left
on his deal after giving up a league-leading
33 home runs last season.
Shields, who turns 34 on Dec. 20,
did manage to deliver his ninth straight
200-inning season while posting a 3.91
earned-run average. Shields cant block a
trade, but he does have the right to opt out
of his contract after next season.
Another potential trade match is the
Milwaukee Brewers, who have a new general
manager in David Stearns and are said to be
open to dealing their own disappointing
right-hander, Matt Garza. At 32, he is coming off a season in which he lost his rotation spot down the stretch and complained
openly about it.
Like Nolasco, Garza is due exactly $25
million over the next two seasons, but he
also carries a complicated vesting option
at $13 million for 2018. He needs 58 more
starts over the next two seasons for that
option to vest; if it doesnt, the club would
hold a $5 million option for 2018.
There also is $2 million in annual deferments, set to be paid out in 2018-21.
The Twins, who originally drafted Garza
in 2005, offered him a three-year, $42 million contract two offseasons ago but he
opted for the extra guaranteed year with the
Brewers. The Twins offer included a vesting option that could have pushed the total
value to $56 million.
Garza went 6-14 with a 5.63 ERA last
season. In 2014, however, he was much better: 8-8 with a 3.64 ERA in 27 starts.
Dont see it, a person with direct
knowledge said Tuesday of a potential
Nolasco-Garza swap.
Another industry source said teams
would likely need to see Nolasco take the
mound next spring, if not into the 2016
season, before a trade could be worked out.

woes
Early deficit too much for
Winhawks to overcome
MATTHEW LAMBERT
matthew.lambert@lee.net

If only the Winhawks could have saved

a few from Saturday.
After scoring the most points in a single game in school history in their previous game, the Winona Senior High School
girls basketball team couldnt overcome
a big first half run from Rochester Mayo
and lost to the Spartans 46-33 on Tuesday night in a game between two Big Nine
Conference title contenders.
The Winhawks jumped out to a 5-1
lead, but it was all Spartans for the majority of the rest of the first half. Mayo slowly
built its lead until a layup from Hallee
Hoeppner cut the advantage to 20-8 with
3 minutes, 11 seconds in the first half.
Winhawks coach Tim Gleason said his
team lost its composure during the 16-0
run.
You saw us do some things that were
uncharacteristic, Gleason said. It was
probably the first time this year that weve
had that much adversity. We fought back
in the second half, but the first half our

mistakes compounded and were too big
to overcome.
Junior Danneka Voegeli said her team
needs to be more confident in their shots
and said during the 16-0 run, the team
wasnt playing together.
We just werent playing as a team,
Voegeli said. We were just getting down
on ourselves and thats not how we want
to play.

Long named national athlete of week

Winona States Kaitlyn Long has been named national
athlete of the week after her performance at the Minnesota State Chuck Peterson Open, the United States
Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association
announced Tuesday.
The honor marks the first national athlete of the week
award in Winona State track and field program history.
Long, fresh off a national championship-winning
performance in the weight throw as a freshman, opened
her sophomore campaign in impressive fashion. Long
heaved a nation-leading (all divisions) 67 feet, 6 inches
throw, which nearly matched her title toss from a year
ago.
Long also set a personal record in the shot put with
a mark of 42-, which placed her second in the event.
WOMENS BASKETBALL: Despite a pair of blowout victories over Southwest Minnesota State and Sioux Falls, the
Winona State womens basketball team fell from No. 10
to No. 11 in the latest WBCA top 25 poll.
The Warriors (10-0, 3-0 NSIC) play at Concordia-St.
Paul and Minnesota State-Mankato later this week.

MLB

Cubs sign Zobrist, trade Castro

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Free agent infielder Ben
Zobrist and the Cubs agreed Tuesday to a $56 million,
four-year contract, a deal that caused Chicago to trade
Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees for pitcher
Adam Warren.
A two-time All-Star, Zobrist gets a $2 million signing bonus, payable by Jan. 31, and salaries of $10 million next year, $16 million in each of the following two
seasons and $12 million in 2019.
The 34-year-old switch hitter plays second, third
and the outfield, and he was an important spark for the
Kansas City Royals in their run to the World Series title.
He is a career .265 hitter with a .355 on-base percentage and .431 slugging percentage, and he hit .276
this year with 36 doubles, 13 homers and 56 RBIs for
Oakland and Kansas City, which acquired him on July
28.
BRAVES TRADE MILLER TO ARIZONA: The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired All-Star right-hander Shelby
Miller from the Atlanta Braves for overall No. 1 draft
pick Dansby Swanson, outfielder Ender Inciarte and
pitching prospect Aaron Blair.
The Diamondbacks also get minor league lefthander Gabe Speier in a trade that gives Arizona its
second top-flight starter in one day. Free agent Zack
Greinke finalized a $206.5 million, six-year contract
with the team earlier Tuesday.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity
because the trade is pending physicals.
The 25-year-old Miller played one year for the
retooling Braves after spending his first three seasons
with St. Louis. He was 6-17 for Atlanta despite finishing with a 3.02 ERA.
Swanson, a shortstop, was the top pick in the June
draft out of college power Vanderbilt.

NBA

Thompson, Warriors improve to 23-0

INDIANAPOLIS The Golden State Warriors followed the script perfectly for three quarters Tuesday
night.
Then things got a bit more interesting.
The defending NBA champions improved to 23-0,
with Klay Thompson scoring a season-high 39 points
and Stephen Curry adding 29 points, seven rebounds
and 10 assists in a 131-123 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Thompson scored 29 points in the first half, during
which the Warriors went on a 22-0 run. Golden State
led by 28 in the fourth quarter before the Pacers closed
within six in the final 25 seconds.
The Warriors have won 27 straight dating to last
season, tying the 2012-13 Heat for the second-longest
streak in NBA history. The 1971-72 Lakers hold the
record with 33 wins in a row.
Golden State also has won 13 straight road games
this season, breaking a tie with the 1969-70 Knicks for
the leagues best road start. The Warriors next play on
Friday night in Boston.

NFL

Browns name Manziel starting QB

CLEVELAND Johnny Manziels timeout has
ended. Hes starting for the Browns again.
The polarizing quarterback will play Sunday against
the San Francisco 49ers, returning to the lineup after
being benched two games by coach Mike Pettine for
defiantly partying during the teams bye week.
Pettine is giving Manziel another chance after the
second-year QB broke a promise that he wouldnt
become a distraction when the team was off last
month. Manziel had been named the starter for Clevelands final six games on Nov. 17 only to throw away the
opportunity with his escapades.
PACKERS: Eddie Lacy has a chance to regain the
starting running back job in Green Bay after falling into
disfavor last week with coach Mike McCarthy.
Everything Eddie wants to accomplish is right
there in front of him, McCarthy said before practice
on Tuesday.
Lacy didnt play much in the 27-23 win on Thursday
night over Detroit. He had five carries for 4 yards, and
James Starks replaced him as the starter.
ESPN.com has reported that Lacy and third-string
running back Alonzo Harris missed curfew the night
before the game. Lacy was demoted and Harris was
released.

against South Dakota State guard Lane Severyn, right, during Tuesdays game in Minneapolis.

Gophers finish
0-for-South Dakota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP)
Jake Bittle scored a careerhigh 25 points for South
Dakota State, which dominated from start to finish on
both ends of the floor for an
84-70 victory Tuesday over
Minnesota, the second loss
in four days at home by the
Gophers to a border-state
team from the mid-major
Summit League.
Deondre Parks pitched
in 21 points for the Jackrabbits (8-1), who played without second-leading scorer
George Marshall. Picked for
the preseason All-Summit
League first team with fellow senior guards Bittle and
Parks, Marshall had a walking boot on his right foot.
Nate Mason scored 18
points and Kevin Dorsey
added 16 points for the
Gophers (5-4), who were
beaten 85-81 by South
Dakota at home on Saturday in double overtime.
The Coyotes were predicted in the annual poll of
coaches, sports information directors and media to
finish fifth in the nine-team
conference. The Jackrabbits, who made the NCAA
tournament in 2012 and
2013 and won 24 games last
season, were the landslide
favorite to win the league.
Minnesota entered the
evening as the secondworst defensive team in
the Big Ten, allowing an
average of 74.6 points per
game, and South Dakota
State took full advantage by shooting 11 for
19 from 3-point range.
Bittle swished his second
one about 6 minutes
into the game, giving the

CLEAR
From B1

The probe went beyond

Teague and a separate
review looked at expense
p ra c t i ce s w i t h i n t h e
department, raising questions about some deals and
spending when he was in
charge.
Investigators did find
that some Minnesota athletes lied to investigators
trying to follow up on a sexual harassment complaint.
While the universitys equal
opportunity office didnt
find enough evidence to
substantiate the harassment allegation, the probe
determined otherwise,
saying there was sufficient
evidence to conclude that
at least some of the student
athletes violated the universitys sexual harassment
policy.
Neither the review nor
investigators identified
the sport, but the schools
director of equal opportunity reported in July that
her office had received
complaints about football
players.
Bill OBrien, an attorney
for Teague, called the 700page report comprehensive
and thorough.
The report largely
clears the university, and
it largely clears Norwood
Teague, OBrien said.
This should end, then, the
months of false speculation
about his conduct that has
ranged from the untrue to
the absurd.
Teagues deputy, Mike
Ellis, resigned in November after being placed on
leave in September when
unspecified complaints
also surfaced against him.
Despite the claims against
its top two leaders, the
general climate in the
department does not
condone or tolerate sexual
harassment, according
to the review. The outside
investigators interviewed

Jackrabbits a 17-5 lead.
The Gophers didnt cut the
deficit below double digits
the rest of the night. The
final margin was the closest Minnesota came since
the score was 24-10.
Out of control on the fast
break, outhustled for loose
balls and outshot from the
perimeter and in the paint,
the Gophers looked a lot
more like the team with the
lesser resources than the
Jackrabbits. Minnesota only
committed nine turnovers,
another sign that South
Dakota State was the stronger squad. The Gophers will
be glad to be done with the
Summit League portion of
their schedule. They also
barely beat Omaha 93-90
at home Nov. 27.
Reed Tellinghuisen had
14 points and 11 rebounds

more than 100 people and
studied 250,000 pages
of documents, texts and
emails for the review, which
cost $690,000 through
Nov. 30.
A separate financial
audit examined Teagues
administration of the
department as well as
travel and expense reports
by his leadership team.
Athletics administrators
had $386,000 worth of
expenses during his tenure; some are still under
review. In some instances,
auditors found alcohol
purchases were disguised
under other expense headings or improperly charged
to special purchasing cards.
Holiday parties, luxury
hotel stays, private car services, private plane charters and first-class airline
tickets also came under
scrutiny. The department
was urged to seek reimbursement of expenses
that shouldnt have been
allowed.
Auditors also took issue
with an agreement the
athletics department made
under Teague for rent-free
use of TCF Bank Stadium
for a concert during the
2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The
audit said the arrangement
for the Imagine Dragons
concert was not fully vetted and that the fair-market value would have been
$319,855. The league was
billed $187,000, but it also
got to keep net proceeds
from concessions and merchandise. Instead of being
paid, the university was
given tickets to the game
at an average cost of $2,565
per ticket.
In response to the audit,
interim athletic director
Beth Goetz said her staff is
seeking reimbursement for
questionable expenses and
that all current employees
have completed repayment.
University auditor Gail
Klatt said the school will
try to recover $6,669 from
Teague and $434 from Ellis.

VIKINGS
From B1

Even opponents are trolling

Bridgewater.
Seahawks linebacker Bruce
Irvin said after their blowout win
that Minnesotas quarterback
was so scared.
Bridgewater brushed off Irvins
comments as the hubris of a good
friend with whom he has had a
friendly rivalry since their college
days when his Louisville Cardinals
defeated Irvins West Virginia
Mountaineers.
I think Bruce was just excited
to get the up on us, Bridgewater
said Wednesday. Thats typical
Bruce.
Hearing teammates gush about
Bridgewaters unflappability
makes it sound like he sleeps in
a cryogenic chamber. Irvins cut
drew ice water.
It is a little embarrassing to
hear that, Bridgewater conceded.
Bruce is still a good player, and
a great guy off the field also. Im
going to make sure that I remember those words.
But I cant lock in and pay too
much attention to that. We have
a game here in two days. I have to
shift my focus to that.
Demanding that Bridgewater
outduel Arizona gunslinger Carson Palmer in the desert Thursday
night is a fools errand. He does
not have the arsenal or acumen
to chase the Cardinals (10-2),
who boast one of the NFLs most
dynamic offenses, not with the
Vikings (8-4) simply striving for
competency and keeping Adrian
Peterson relevant.
But it is not too much to ask
Bridgewater to complete a pass
that requires observers to at least
turn their necks.
Bridgewater only attempted
four throws of 20-plus yards
against the Seahawks. Three were
incomplete. The other was intercepted, a badly overthrown ball
toward Stefon Diggs at midfield.
The ball just got away from
me. It happens to everyone,
Bridgewater said, unwilling to discuss mechanics or other factors.
It was definitely a big enough
window. It was an anticipated
throw also. The ball was thrown
on time. It was early. It just got
away from me.
In the red zone the previous
week at Atlanta, he underthrew
Kyle Rudolph and was picked off
near the goal line. He also missed
a wide-open Mike Wallace for a
sure touchdown in Chicago.
We like to take shots down
the field, but thats something Ill
continue to work on, Bridgewater said. We havent had many
opportunities throughout the
course of the season. But throughout the work week were out here
completing those passes. Were
just a few plays from hitting the
big one.
Sounds like a warning-track
slugger touting his batting-practice bombs.
Its convenient to stroke
Bridgewaters poise and confidence, but at some point he has
to get dirty and deliver a victory, especially with the Vikings
defense hobbled and Peterson
susceptible to being shackled.
He flashed clutch playmaking during last months gamewinning fourth-quarter drive
at Soldier Field, but receivers
Charles Johnson and Stefon Diggs
deserved gold stars for making
Bridgewater shine with spectacular catches and runs.
Pressure is building on No. 5,
though Bridgewater insists he is
not feeling it.
No, not at all. The thing about
this offense is we have a bunch of
playmakers around me. All I have
to do is get the ball to those guys
and allow them to make plays.
The hard truth is Minnesota
ranks at or near the bottom of
every major offensive category,
from points and passing yards to
third-down conversions.
Coach Mike Zimmer and offensive coordinator Norv Turner had
a sit-down met with Bridgewater
on Monday although nobody was
willing to read from the minutes.
Zimmer acknowledged his
young quarterback hears the
freight train coming down the
tracks.
(He) and I talk a good amount
about a lot of it, Zimmer said. I
would say hes human. Im sure he
hears things. No one likes to hear
how bad you are. I dont know
that it affects him. I know were
all human.
Teammates were quick to close
ranks around Bridgewater, who is
14-9 as a starter, insisting blame
should be spread around when
roasting their offensive deficiencies.
The kids played phenomenal
for us over the last two years, said
Rudolph. Hes shown multiple
times he has what it takes at that
position to win games. Hes only
going to continue to grow and get
better. If we can keep him upright,
hes shown he can make a lot of
plays for us.
Tick, tick, tick.

Winhawks rally
falls just short
Daily News staff

ROCHESTER The Winona

Senior High School boys basketball
team sure knows how to make a game
interesting.
The Winhawks nearly came all
the way back from a 16-point second-half deficit in a 66-64 loss to
Rochester Mayo on the road Tuesday
night.
Terrell Hall had a steal and fed P.J.
Appicelli for a score with 7 seconds
left that cut Mayos lead to 65-64.
Kale Milek had a 3-pointer earlier
that helped the Winhawks rally as
well.
But Mayo made 1 of 2 free throws
at the other end, and although Winonas baseball pass with 1.9 seconds
left got it a good look at the buzzer,
the shot was off and the Spartans
(2-4, 2-3) survived.
They dont have any quit in
them, WSHS coach Rocky Peterson
said. We didnt get things started
the way we wanted to. We ended up
getting in some foul trouble. We had
some young guys on the floor at the
end of the game. It was a good learning experience for them.
Appicelli, a senior, led the way
with 22 points. Milek added nine.
Trajan Grimsrud led Mayo with 20
points.

Winonas Hallee Hoeppner looks to pass against Rochester Mayos Grace Riley during the first half of a Big Nine Conference game Tuesday.

WINHAWKS
From B1

Voegeli was tasked with guarding

one of the Spartans best players in
senior Anna Winter. Voegeli finished
the game with eight points and five
rebounds, with Winter finishing with
13 points and 11 rebounds. Both players had four fouls, something that
Voegeli says, herself, and her team
needs to improve on.
I just need to foul less, Voegeli
said. It just hurt our team down the
stretch.
The Spartans (4-0, 2-0), ranked
ninth in Class AAAA, are coming off
a big win against Minnetonka, the
second ranked team in Class AAAA,
winning 49-45 on Saturday.
The Winhawks (2-1, 1-1), who
began the season as the No. 2 team in
Class AAA but slipped to No. 4 in the
latest poll, were coming off a pretty
big win themselves.
Winona beat Chisago Lakes 85-56
on Saturday, setting school records
for points in a game and 3-pointers
made in a game (12).
Winona started to chip away a
little bit in the second half, but ran
out of time. A 3-pointer from junior
Justine Schultz narrowed the score to

TWINS
From B1

After missing nearly four months

last season due to a right ankle injury
that required surgery, Nolasco is
being viewed purely as an expensive
depth option. He isnt guaranteed a

42-33, but there would be no miracle

comeback.
Hoeppner had 11 points to lead
Winona. Eden Nibbelink had nine
points, all in the second half.
Olivia Korngable led Mayo with 16
points.
The Spartans were 15 of 25 at the
free-throw line compared to just 0 of
4 for the Winhawks.
Gleason said all of the mistakes
that were made by the Winhawks
cant be continued if they are going
to compete with strong teams like
the Spartans.
We missed free throws, we didnt
box out and rebound on either end of
the floor, and turned the ball over too
much, Gleason said. You cant do
things like that against good teams.
Gleason said his team will need
to go into practice to get back to the
basics and continue to play the way
they did in the first two games of the
season.
Both Gleason and Voegeli said that
playing a tough competition like the
Spartans early in the season, will help
them further down the road come
playoff time.
Theyre a really good team,
Voegeli said. We just need to practice on how to match up with their
players so we can be ready for the
next time we play them.

spot in the Twins resurgent rotation, which doesnt even have room
for young right-handers Trevor May
and Jose Berrios at the moment.
Weve got some question marks,
Twins general manager Terry Ryan
said. You dont know exactly what
Berrios is going to look like. You
dont know what Nolasco is going to
do.
