Havent checked this out, but... Oregon State University Athletic Director Bob DeCarolis was considering firing their Basketball Coach ... Craig Robinson. After all, they had an abysmal 8-11 start (2-5 in the Pac 10 Conference). When word reached Washington, DC the Undersecretary of Education … Martha Kanter, was dispatched to Corvallis, Oregon with $17 million in stimulus money for the university. Thankfully, Craig Robinsons job was safe for another year. Now comes the interesting part of our story . For those of you unfamiliar with Coach Robinson, he just so happens to be the brother-in-law of none other than our countrys beloved President Obama. Yup...thats right! He is the brother of Michelle (Robinson) Obama! But hey, cant we all come to the conclusion that Coach Robinsons job security was all just a coincidence? Im sure of it; arent you? Thank goodness for The Stimulus! But $17 million for one job? I wonder what mine is worth?!! If this doesnt anger you, nothing will ... remember to vote in 2014!!! On May 5, 2014, Robinson was relieved of his duties as Oregon States head basketball coach. He was given a $4 million buyout of the three remaining years on his contract.
