The Connecticut state ethics board will no longer pursue the nepotism charge regarding Corey Edsall’s position on his father’s staff for the UConn football team. The board chose to drop its appeal of a judge’s ruling that said UConn did not break state nepotism laws when Randy Edsall hired his son Corey to the football staff, the Office of State Ethics announced according to the Hartford Courant
Originally, Corey was hired to UConn football’s staff as the tight ends coach but placed under the supervision of then-COO Beth Goetz instead of Randy himself. By most standards, Corey was well-qualified for the job and would be one of the lowest-paid assistants in the conference.
