I guess I didn't know that the SCSU athletic department was that well off financially, this was the same athletic department that considered dropping their football program, now it appears that they have deep pockets that are bulging with money.
Mick Hatten; Saint Cloud Times --- The continued uncertainty of NCAA Division I men’s hockey conferences has helped John “Gino” Gaspirini receive an extension as a special adviser for athletics to St. Cloud State University President Earl H. Potter III. That extension begins today.
Gasparini’s six-month contract with the university’s foundation has been $15,000 a month plus expenses. He was hired initially to review the athletic department’s organization and advise on the hiring of a new athletic director and to be involved in fundraising for and operations of the National Hockey Center. Morris Kurtz announced in February that he was retiring as St. Cloud State’s athletic director in July.
