Judge rules hiring of UConn coach’s son was not violation

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut Superior Court judge has ruled that UConn did not violate the state’s ban on nepotism when it hired football coach Randy Edsall’s son as an assistant coach.
Judge Joseph Shortall on Thursday vacated the state Citizen Ethics Advisory Board’s ruling that would have forced Corey Edsall to leave his job when his contract expires in January.
Shortall says Randy Edsall was not yet a state employee when he negotiated for his son to be hired.
