HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Connecticut ethics lawyers say the University of Connecticut violated the state’s ban on nepotism by hiring football coach Randy Edsall’s son as an assistant coach but say Corey Edsall can serve out his contract.
In their draft recommendation to the state advisory board, the lawyers recommend no action be taken against UConn if Corey Edsall’s one-year, $95,000 contract to coach the team’s tight ends is not renewed.
The draft opinion recognizes the ”potential disruption” to UConn’s football program if the younger Edsall is barred from coaching this year.
UConn says it respectfully disagrees with the draft ruling and adds that Randy Edsall wouldn’t be supervising his son.
The ethics board had questioned whether it was legally permissible for the elder Edsall to negotiate a job for his son.
