If you look at the Staff Directory on the Athletics web site, Parker is listed as an Associate AD for Special Projects under Facilities, not Compliance. Granted, that could have been changed in the last 24 hours when all of this broke.
@obd The article said he was removed from compliance and reassigned.

Thanks. Didn't know that.
@jvaltos There is much, much more to the story. Read the article in DE. And we still don't know why the soccer coach was suspended.
@saluki-69 Thanks. I figure where there is smoke there is fire in this case.
I am still bewildered that SIUC is capable of getting anything right with the financial and admin issues they have. Thankfully, there are still some good ones there! Its always about the people.
we could get mauled here. someone mentioned lack of institutional control. this is a blueprint.
hire a compliance director already under ncaa sanctions that were bad enough for the penalty to follow him. do nothing about swim team allegations for 2 yrs. don't place the swim coach on administrative leave immediately after made public.
a still developing soccer issue.
can we clone Nick Hill for new AD? at least he would restore the integrity.
I don’t like commenting on ongoing investigations but if you are AD and you find out the swim coach is allegedly doing that sort of thing, why do you not start investigating immediately on your own and get something done quickly to get to the bottom of it? The negligence of that I can’t get my head around.
This sort of thing should have been resolved in weeks with the swim coach long being fired if the allegations were found to be true.

you're right on the money. this is an easy one. she was supposedly hired by kill for her title ix experience and here she allegedly lands us in what could be a major title ix suit. my god.
i can't get my head around another thing. what on earth are you doing bringing in a compliance dude who is under NCAA penalty for breaking the rules that he was hired to enforce. that's a serious lack of judgement or a complete lack of vetting.
Craving a McBride Special!
Hmmm...
she sure nailed it!
this tweet actually bring another question. we assume it is about scandal. if it is, what did she know and when did she know it?
Craving a McBride Special!
Instead of conducting an expensive national search for a new AD, lets just hire Tommy Bell 😃

That would be great but I doubt he would take it.
Remember when people posted angry things about Bell? In retrospect, any criticism of him seems tame. But there were certain people with agendas.

I think most liked Bell here. He wanted to jet Barry out a year before he got fired and Kill was the reason he was brought back an extra year.

Bell did the most to deal with the debt passed onto him by Paper Mario before he ran for the border. When people like dogdays come on and complain about Lane, who I never wanted to take the chancellor job in the first place, wanting a SWAC athletic budget, remember that Bell was not allowed to truly deal with the debt. Lane wouldn’t be forced to deal with the debt situation that should have mostly been in the rear view by now. I’m not a huge fan of Austin Lane either but ultimately my judgment of him will come down to his performance on the academic end and his performance at getting enrollment back on track.
Whoever they bring in as AD the biggest skill they’ll need is fundraising…from what others have said, athletics is getting another big cut next year, so we will need to bridge that gap with donor money to some degree.
Also, clean up the department…personnel issues abound right now. They’ll have their work cut out for them that’s for sure.
