than they are being told they

"A New Way to Dream”
was the title of Todd‘s speech.
He said that Kentucky's herr
itage has not given students
and educators a good basis
from which to dream, and this
low self-esteem has limited
their ability to dream of a world
where they can compete the
same as everyone else

“If we don‘t believe we can

He said that when he interr

the fact that he did not feel peo-
ple were taking the Top 2o chal-

convince people lTK does de-

Todd said that TIK has
demonstrated that it is willing
to work hard for Top 20 status.
but the work is never complete

"We must prove our womb

Report says Ivy knew
of payment violations

Contradictions: Athletics claims ignorance,
fails to report secretary ‘salaries' to NCAA

ASSOCIATED ”163

UK Athletics officials said
they didn‘t know about
booster club payments to foot-
ball secretaries. an NCAA vio-
lation. until after their Febru-
ary 2001 selfreport on the
program‘s
problems.

But more
than six
months be.-
fore that re
port, Athlet-
ics Director
Larry Ivy re-
viewed a
s t a t e m e n t Ivy
showing a
booster group paid 33.500 to
one of those secretaries.

The form. sent by the
Wildcat Club to Ivy's office in
late July 2000. listed an expenr
diture of $3.500 for a secretary
in the football program.

The document appears to
have been initialed by Ivy
Brooks Downing. Athletics
Department spokesman. said
that [yy received the papers.

The booster club's report
for the next year after lTK
had filed its NCAA report
spelled out the payments more
clearly. listing "supplemental
salaries" of 33.500 and 31.400
for secretaries Kwyn Jenkins
and Jodi Gillespie.

In its February 2001 self-
report to the NCAA. l'K said
nothing about salary supple-
ments to the secretaries of for
mer L'K Coach Hal Mumme.

Payments of that kind vio-
late NFAA bylaws.

When a pattern of supple-
ments later surfaced in the
NCAA‘s August 2001 report.
school officials said they did»
n't find out about them until
after their Fel'iruary report.
