ATHENS, Georgia, October 14. THE University of Georgia and its swimming head coach, Jack Bauerle, are set to stand before an NCAA committee this week to answer to the charges that Bauerle stepped outside of his boundaries as a coach to help a swimmer get an academic advantage.<\/p>\n

Original report on NCAA Notice of Allegations in April.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Two of Bauerle\u2019s former swimmers, Kristy Kowal and Kara Forbis, wrote a letter to the university expressing their concern that Bauerle might not be getting the type of support the six-time NCAA Coach of the Year needs from the university administration to help clear his name. Bauerle has been on suspension since January 4 after he violated protocol in attempting to get Chase Kalisz academic help. The NCAA has alleged that Bauerle gave an extra benefit by stepping in to help on the academic matter.<\/p>\n

Kalisz also served a short suspension but was able to compete at the NCAA championships and break the American record in the 400-yard individual medley<\/a>. Bauerle has not been allowed to coach in an official capacity since January, and was unable to be on deck for Kalisz\u2019s record swim or when the women\u2019s team won the NCAA team title in March.<\/p>\n

Kowal and Forbis, both multiple All-Americans in their time at Georgia, raised concerns that the university threw public support toward football player Todd Gurley days after he was suspended for being paid for his likeness, a major NCAA violation. The two noted that they had not seen the same type of public rally for Bauerle in the days or weeks after his suspension.<\/p>\n

The letter partially states: \u201cWhere is the support for someone who has guided his student-athletes to accomplish all of the above academically; not to mention the numerous SEC and NCAA championships his teams have won?<\/i><\/p>\n

Have you made it clear that Jack \u201cis still a member of the Bulldog family, and we will support him in every way we can?\u201d We would argue, that NO you haven\u2019t made that clear in your actions.<\/p>\n

Greg McGarity, the university\u2019s athletic director, responded to the claims in the letter with a statement to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution<\/a> that \u201c\u2026we support Jack and we have all the way through and we\u2019re still fighting for this. Jack knows we\u2019re doing that. That\u2019s all that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Journal-Constitution, Bauerle is set to face the NCAA committee Thursday. Below is the full letter from Kowal and Forbis.<\/p>\n

October 12th, 2014<\/p>\n

An Open Letter to The University of Georgia:<\/p>\n

Jack Bauerle has been a loyal Bulldog for 34 years. Over these years, his guidance and mentorship has produced the following:<\/p>\n

\u2022 NCAA Women of the Year: 3
\n\u2022 NCAA Post Graduate Scholarship Winners: 34
\n\u2022 This ranks the Georgia Swimming and Diving PROGRAM 8th out of all COLLEGES in the US
\n\u2022 SEC Scholar Athlete of the Year: 6
\n\u2022 SEC Post Graduate Scholarship Winners: 15
\n\u2022 Capital One Cosida Academic All Americans: 30
\n\u2022 College Swim Coaches of America Assoc. All America Team: Too many to count
\n\u2022 Foundation Fellowship: 8
\n\u2022 Woody Hayes National Scholar Athlete: 1
\n\u2022 Today\u2019s Top VIII award: 3<\/p>\n

As the news broke of Todd Gurley\u2019s suspension, a subsequent statement from Athletic Director Greg McGarity noted, \u2018I encourage the Bulldog Nation to continue to pull together during this difficult time and support all of our coaches and student-athletes as we move forward.\u201d This was very confusing.<\/p>\n

We ask where has that public support been for Jack Bauerle\u2019s 35 years of service to Bulldog Nation? Where is the support for someone who has guided his student-athletes to accomplish all of the above academically; not to mention the numerous SEC and NCAA championships his teams have won?<\/p>\n

Have you made it clear that Jack \u201cis still a member of the Bulldog family, and we will support him in every way we can?\u201d We would argue, that NO you haven\u2019t made that clear in your actions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also interesting that Jack currently does not have a title listed on georgiadogs.com, but a member of the athletic department staff who resigned in September still has a title and bio on the website. Personally, as alumni of the program, that\u2019s a slap in the face. To see the university that you were honored to compete for, treat someone who has given so much to so many with such disrespect is disheartening.<\/p>\n

The lack of respect for someone who truly embodies the NCAA\u2019s motto and guides his student-athletes to \u2018go pro in something other than their sport\u2019 begs the question, WHY? WHY have you approached Jack\u2019s situation differently than you have approached others?<\/p>\n

Showing the power of teamwork, as noted in the Athletic Department\u2019s mission statement: We clearly understand that the success of any one person is always the result of dedicated effort on the part of many people, the Swimming and Diving alumni have amassed more than 100 letters speaking to Jack\u2019s character and integrity. These letters have been sent to the NCAA prior to the upcoming hearing. That\u2019s because we believe that Jack truly embodies the values set forth in the athletic department\u2019s mission statement: Integrity, Personal Development, Teamwork, Excellence and Leadership.<\/p>\n

Signed,
\nKristy Kowal \u2013 All American, Olympian, World Champion, NCAA Woman of the Year, 1996-2000
\nKara Forbis \u2013 All American, Academic All American, USA Swimming National Team Member, 1994-98<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
