The University of Minnesota will hear the results of two independent investigations into the athletics department during a special meeting Dec. 8. In the meantime, documents released by the school this week offered a glimpse at topics likely to be addressed.
Among hundreds of receipts submitted by coaches and administrators and released Monday and Wednesday are invoices for $2,298.85 to transport men's basketball coach Richard Pitino's dog from Florida, and $1,984 in clothing, shoes and hair styling for women's basketball coach Marlene Stollings.
In each case, the university paid the bill.
An athletics department spokesman said Wednesday that if such expenses are red-flagged as part of an internal audit of the athletics department's spending, the school will be reimbursed.
