It looks as if an “anonymous tip” has caused the NJCAA to examine the booster club and basketball program at TRCC.  If there is a problem that is further proof the leadership at TRCC has got to go!

Larry Kimbrow as the executive vice president of the college and vice president of academics is the obvious first person who needs to resign or be fired if there is a problem.  Kimbrow’s job is to provide oversight to the college and as the vice president for academics to oversee the faculty at the college including the coaching staff.  Kimbrow also served as president of the college while the former president was away due to illness.

Joe Rozman is the next person who should resign or be fired if there is a problem.  He was the direct supervisor of the athletic program in his role as vice president for student affairs and as the interim president.  Joe Rozman is now the president of the college.

Robbie Myers was the vice president for finance and the vice president for administration.  Myers oversaw the business office and was involved in the oversight and audit of the booster club in the fall of 2007, any financial problems should have come to his attention.  Of course Myers may lack the education and experience to provide financial oversight.  The result is still the same; Robbie Myers needs to go from TRCC.

The three people chosen to look into any problems in the athletic department are Steve Cookson, Bill Hollida, and Joe Rozman.  Cookson and Rozman should be immediately disqualified.  Cookson is the superintendent of a nearby school district and was in trouble for his involvement in basketball recruiting violations.  For Cookson to have a leadership position at two schools and both schools have problems in with the basketball program seems to be an interesting coincidence.  Because Joe Rozman was in charge of oversight of the athletic program having him investigate is a conflict of interest.

More change is needed at Three Rivers Community College.  Unfortunately John Stanard and friends decided to make that hard to do.  Stanard and the fired former president of the college pushed for extending contracts for the vice presidents the December prior to the election where Stanard was ousted from the board.

The two new board members of Wilbur Thornton and Randy Winston are a great start to correcting the problems at TRCC.  Since the last board elections, more problems covered up by the old gang running the college are coming to light.  The more problems at TRCC uncovered regardless of where the problem is located are further proof the administration of TRCC needs to be replaced as soon as contracts and finances allow them to be replaced.
