Rape still a crime in Georgia? And withholding evidence?

This reminds me of the Duke Lacross case. Hear initial reports, assume guilt.

Read the reports from this summer. This WaPo article is a good start: https://www.washingtonpost.com/spor...d32e182a3bc_story.html?utm_term=.e3d202fcf1bf Then try this from the Dallas Morning News. https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/...atorial-behavior-nothing-court-filings-allege

Elliott was suspended from the football team 12 days after the sexual assault of Hernandez, the same day Briles learned Waco police were asking for a cheek swab from Elliott and three days before Elliott was even charged.

In contrast, based on Thursday's court filing, reviewed by KWTX-TV in Waco, it appears two top officials in the university's Judicial Affairs office, David Murdock and Bethany McCraw, and Associate Vice President for Student Life Martha Lou Scott became aware of Elliott's assaults as early as Nov. 7, 2011. It also seems that Dr. Reagan Ramsower, then Baylor's chief operating officer, was aware that Elliott was "assaulting young women" as early as the week of Oct. 5, 2011.

It's preposterous that the school would have thought these documents from the Hernandez case weren't relevant to the ongoing Title IX lawsuit brought by the 10 Jane Does.

And it's even more mind-boggling that the administration appears not to have informed the football program of what it knew. This was a campus police department being careful — too careful — in relaying sensitive information. This was an administration that was operating in silos and didn't like to talk about unpleasant truths.

...
Among the most troubling emails included with the motion is one from May 25, 2012, that indicates the football program didn't know what the administration knew about the football player. In the email, Jim Doak, then the Baylor police chief, tells his boss, Ramsower, that he had met that day with Collin Shillinglaw, director of football operations, regarding the Elliott case.

So what actually happened at Baylor?
  • Students (not just football players) were raping people.
  • Baylor's administration suppressed these reports and discouraged charges in order to keep the name of the school clean. This wasn't limited to the football team.
  • The football coach was unaware of this until charges were formally filed against his player. He suspended the player when he learned the player was under investigation.
  • When lawsuits began, the administration attempted to peg this as a football issue. Released reports about other football players that were never sent to the coach. Fired the coach.
  • Subsequent investigations indicate that the coach knew nothing and that the administration supressed literally hundreds of cases.
  • School paid the coach an $18 million settlement.
  • President of the university was fired (and I suspect several additional administrators will be, as well.
Keep yourself informed.
 
FSU is an absolute shitshow. UT is bad, but they’ve been bad. For a while. Nebraska is bad going back for a while.

FSU went from a pretty good team to clown show.

Somehow these words are reminding me of both GT basketball and the USSC. How weird is that.

I think Scott Frost would have been better to stay with the national champs then going to the Huskers.

I've never been run over by an Abrams (that might hurt). But I have been run over by a Bradley.
 
I think Frost is a good coach and a clear upgrade over his predecessor. Whether or not he can turn Nebraska around remains to be seen.

I think Tennessee and FSU made bad hires and they should feel bad.
 
Talked to a lifelong Nebraska fan at a bar last month. I asked him if he missed option football ever since Tom Osbourne retired.

His response was “Terribly.”
