As the Beavers Beat (ummm... I battle punctuation rules daily, but isn't there a missing apostrophe?) tracks yet another "request to transfer" from Oregon State, Michelle Smith from West Coast Hoops weighs in:

Wagner leaves behind a disastrous wake that may take years to clean up.

It seems to me that, though the coach is gone, a problem still exists -- and that would be an athletic administration that let this mess escalate to the (alleged) levels reported. That smacks of institutional deafness at best or, at worst, a almost pathological disinterest in the health women's basketball program.

How is any student-athlete going to believe that the Oregon State athletic department has their best interests at heart?
