Mizzou’s Corporate Card Was Used For $7,600 At A Vegas Strip Club
Mizzou’s Corporate Card Was Used For $7,600 At A Vegas Strip Club
Barry Petchesky Mizzou's Corporate Card Was Used For $7,600 At A Vegas Strip Club Missouri, like many schools, handed out credit cards to athletics department employees and trusted them not to abuse the privilege. Anyone who's ever had a corporate card can guess how that worked out: strip clubs and steakhouses. After an external audit of the program's finances, they're cracking down on who they give those cards to. And you've got two folks to thank for ruining it for everyone: Director of video operations Michael Schumacher spent $7,605.50 in a single night at Olympic Garden, a club conveniently located on the Strip that "feature[s] literally hundreds of the world's most beautiful ladies (known as the Dreamgirls) in a relaxing and spacious setting." One of those charges included a $2,000 tip on a $4,400 bill. Maybe I don't understand how strip clubs work, but was Schumacher being extra generous, or is "tip" just how you say "blowjob" on a receipt? Schumacher has since repaid the university for his Vegas fun, which took place while he was representing the school at a conference. He was there alone, so that $7,600 is all him. Another charge, for nearly $3,000, was racked up by former basketball director of operations Jeff Daniels. He took the entire team out to dinner at the Vince Young Steakhouse in Austin, including coaches and support staff. Spending $100 a person at Vince Young's steakhouse is more of a crime against taste than dropping $7,600 at a strip club. Missouri has deactivated 32 credit cards, and says all in all, it could have been a lot worse. The strip club could have been in Downtown Vegas. http://deadspin.com/5954304/mizzous-...gas-strip-club |

Look at it this way. Now the people who financially support the university know that the school will not tolerate these types of actions. It breeds confidence that the money is handled in the proper manner that it should.

What is he defending? He isn't saying that it was okay for the guy to do what he did. He's saying that, because the situation was handled by the university and the money was repaid, there isn't really much worth reporting.

Come on now. This is not that difficult to grasp. It is a story and one that should be reported. I do not see how any one can say otherwise.

It's a story worthy of deadspin.

"You don't think the taxpayer, the donor, the alumni member deserves to know where their money is going?" I noted that it wasn't their money going anywhere. He reimbursed the U for the tab. I suppose American Express (or whoever) could be upset, but I doubt they are. Again, I'd have zero problem with the guy being fired. What he did was beyond stupid. I'm not sure why you've chosen to entrench yourself into such an angle, but, hey, go for it.

Only because he got caught and because school officials didn't tolerate it. Otherwise it was very much the tax and donation money being used. People are acting like he planned to pay it back. And even if he did, that is still a gross misuse of company resources.

No, people are just acting like it isn't newd worthy. I whole heartedly disagree.

I tried to use a credit card at the strip club but the dancer got a little pissy when I tried to swipe my card in the slot.

Again, nobody is defending the guy using the card. Keep ****ing that chicken, though.
