“I am hoping (U. Athletics Director) Chris Hill will get a giant apology for paying this price, for being dragged through the mud in the media and other places for an audit that just should not have happened,” the Salt Lake Democrat said.
The Senate chairman of the appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Evan Vickers, R-Cedar City, said he agreed the audit shouldn’t have been sought.
“I personally don’t want to revisit the reason for the audit,” Vickers said. “I agree. I don’t think the audit should have been called for, but it was. I think our auditors did an excellent job. They were very professional in their approach.”
