"Sluggers owner and workers there directly connected to Tidey and the baseball program. Makes the most sense for Rhonda to manipulate the weak minded. Rhonda told Kevin Kasey is the worst catcher to have come through Davenport and was a good jv player. She’s not wrong but why even say that to so many people. Throw money at anything and watch how they join the wrong doing of unethical people. They did the same thing to their facility worker/ she had zero experience to do the job. Manipulation at its best "

"Just because you’re winning games now, had a couple terrible seasons and with all the resources they have it’s about triple the amount of all of their in conference opponents. Sickening. You shouldn’t be allowed to bully people because they gave you push back because you were wrecking their field and equipment. It’s not fair to their kids but you’re selfish. Your comments to your strength coach about these coaches didn’t go unnoticed either. PEOPLE KNOW "

"Everyone at Davenport University has been notified of toxic, unethical, rule breaking employee behavior and they aren’t doing anything about it. The athletic department is a mess. They play employee favorites and let certain people get away with things like sleeping and drinking with student athletes. They don’t like any coach that wants to have standards and an ethical culture or coaches that don’t abuse their resources. They will fire a coach for playing time but not one who drinks with players, sleeps with players, parties with players, changes stats for players, takes their husband out for dinner on Davenport’s dime (Ronda) it’s sickening.

"Would never leave to go anywhere else bc he gets away with murder at Davenport University. A record shouldn’t dictate unethical decisions and give you the ability to drink with student athletes. Ronda his good friend has covered this up and she was well aware of his actions and what he was doing. Ronda should be fired too. It’s honestly not funny they make a joke out of him being the deputy AD. Davenport will cover this all up I’m sure. "

"Kevin Tidey and Ronda Varnesdeel have been covering up their own mistakes like you know doable offenses since they began at the school. They both personally benefit financially when it’s not warranted to use the credit card for themselves. They both have been very inappropriate and have drank with student athletes. They both have left bars after drinking too much and drove home, they both have a lot of covering up they have been doing. Just because you have worked at a place for a long time doesn’t mean you should be allowed to cover each others fireable offenses. The school should be embarrassed. "

"Tidey’s social media manager and photographer - even though her full time job is to do facilities - but doesn’t. Was in a sexual relationship with the starting qb last year and told everyone about it. Everyone was fine with the full time employee having a relationship with a student athlete. I’m assuming that was fine because baseball needs their photographer and Tidey makes her do whatever he wants. "

He thought it was funny and got our male trainer in trouble for telling people about it. The trainer thought it was wrong. Since then they have had all female athletic trainers. I guess he doesn’t like when a man stands up to him, he can manipulate “females” "

"Being one of the players that got alcohol from the baseball team I was first mad at my softball coaches for trying to hold me accountable - when I heard the baseball coach laughed with the boys about it - I thought I was getting mistreated. I now see they were just trying to do what’s best for me and help me grow as a person. I have countless other stories of the baseball coach doing this just like this. Their standards and what they get away with aren’t fair to other athletes. They get away with it bc of the baseball coach. "
