Gophers booster and former football captain Jim Carter is still waiting for University of Minnesota President Eric Kaler and members of the search committee to take blame for hiring athletics director Norwood Teague, who resigned Aug. 7 amidst a sexual harassment scandal.
Carter, a member of the Gophers' 1967 Big Ten championship team and a former Pro Bowl linebacker with the Green Bay Packers, emailed a letter Wednesday morning to seven people on the 21-member search advisory committee that Kaler put together in 2012 to help find a new AD.
He also sent the email to the four members of the search committee: Mary Jo Kane, professor, College of Education and Human Development; Tim Mulcahy, former Vice President for Research; community member John Lindahl, a Minnesota graduate and managing general partner at Norwest Equity Partners; and Amy Phenix, U President Eric Kaler's chief of staff.
