My take earlier this month on the then-unspecified allegations of misconduct against UW-Madison senior associate athletic director John Chadima was that anyone with that many words in his title can?t be high enough on the totem pole to merit much of a scandal ? especially since he wasn?t charged with a crime. Boy, was I wrong. We don’t yet know the extent of the fallout from Chadima’s alleged sexual assault of a student employee during the football team’s trip to the Rose Bowl. But I feel pretty confident a primary factor behind the incident and the university’s response to it is clear enough: hubris.
