Teague resignation: State legislator questions U's funding for athletics

The University of Minnesota senior leadership retreat that began a chain of events leading to the forced resignation of former athletics Norwood Teague cost more than $10,000, according to receipts released by the school.

The three-day, two-night retreat was held at Breezy Point Resort in Breezy Point, Minn.

Teague, who resigned under pressure Aug. 7, was accused of groping two colleagues and sent lewd text messages to one during the retreat, which started July 14 with a session titled "Framing a productive & successful retreat."

According to documents the U released, including the reservations receipt from Breezy Point, 26 university senior administrators attended the event, including President Eric Kaler.
