ISU tight ends coach named in lawsuit By Luke.Manderfeld @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh was named in an Illinois player mistreatment lawsuit.

Iowa State tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator Alex Golesh was named in a lawsuit from former Illinois lineman Anthony Durkin claiming coaches forced him to return from injury too early, causing him further injury and to lose his scholarship, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Sunday. Golesh was the tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator for the Illini at the time.

While Durkin was discussing shoulder surgery with doctors in early 2013, coaches at Illinois forced him to keep practicing, which caused further damage to his injury, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He underwent shoulder surgery in September 2013. Doctors advised Durkin to rest and rehab his shoulder during spring 2014, but Golesh and former coach Tim Beckman forced doctors to clear him for practice, according to the Sun-Times. Beckman was later fired in 2015 for pressuring players “to avoid or

postpone medical treatment and continue to play despite injuries,” the Sun-Times reported. Durkin practiced through the spring and summer and caused more damage to his injury until August 2014, when he dislocated his shoulder, the article said. He was told by doctors that he could no longer play for the team in December 2014, and on Dec. 7, 2014, Golesh told Durkin to sign a release from his scholarship or “risk other repercussions,” according to the Sun-Times. Durkin signed the release, which

absolved the university of any charges with a second shoulder surgery and Durkin’s scholarship, the Sun-Times said. The suit claims that Golesh, along with three doctors, Beckman and the school’s athletic director, were “negligent in not ensuring Durkin’s safety,” the Sun-Times reported. Durkin is seeking damages worth $250,000. Campbell hired Golesh from Illinois in December 2015, soon after Campbell was hired at Iowa State in late November.

SECOND IN COMMAND Get to know the 2016 vice presidential candidates

By Emily.Hammer @iowastatedaily.com With Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump neck-and-neck for the presidency, knowing where their vice presidential nominees stand on certain key choices can certainly sway some to or from a presidential candidate. Tim Kaine, senator from Virginia, was chosen as Clinton’s running partner in early July 2016. Mike Pence, governor of Indiana, also was picked in early July 2016, as Trump’s running partner. Peyton Russell, sophomore in biological systems engineering, wishes the media would cover the

vice presidential nominees more. “I don’t even know who the vice presidential nominees are,” Russell said. Graduating with a bachelor’s in economics, Kaine went on to receive his J.D. from Harvard Law in 1983. Since then, Kaine has worked his way up through the government, from mayor to lieutenant governor, then governor to chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He has been a Virginia senator since 2013. After receiving his bachelor’s in history, Pence graduated with his J.D. from the Robert H. McKinney School of Law in 1986. Before becoming the incumbent governor of Indiana, Pence was

also a member of the House of Representatives for two different Indiana districts and the chairman of the House Republican Conference. With their many years of political experience, Kaine and Pence both have developed their views to earn their spots as the vice presidential nominees, even if those views don’t always align with the presidential nominee they’re running with. For example, Clinton and Kaine fundamentally clash on abortion, which Clinton fully supports. Kaine, however, has stated that he personally opposes the practice because of his faith, but be-
