To be a Contrarian... Why should somebody's boner cost an entire athletic department? Seems pretty hard....

Agreed. There were threads about it on this very board.I feel like when this was all going down the rumor was that scroggins was pregnant with loves baby
One of the issues is Love didn't get fired, at least publicly he was allowed resign which would appear problematic to NU even if the relationship was consensual. If this does blow up and Williams loses her job, at a minimum, the women's BB program is facing some serious challenges with two consecutive coaching regimes ending in scandal.I agree, she is an adult and put herself in that situation and then claims victimhood. there are no claims of sexual assault. Obviously Love deserved to be fired.
Haven't you any better than 20 year old memes?
Seems like she is responsible here…Good thing we make all that profit!
Hope she takes the admin & others responsible to the cleaners
Good post. A suggestion: leave the opinions out of the description of both pointsIMO… Williams is probably toast. I suppose it’s possible Trev could choose to retain her, but most of the time someone has to be held accountable and she’s HC.
Now Trev on the other hand… I can only see 1 or 2 scenarios where his job should be in jeopardy?
1. He would’ve had to know about all this (the relationship and more importantly AW actions towards Scoggins) and chose to do nothing about it. But that seems implausible, I just don’t see him being close enough to the situation to have any 1st hand knowledge. He likely would only know what AW reported to him.
2. Scoggins reported this incident to Trev (or the athletic dept) and he sided with Williams’ version of the story. If in fact Scoggins was telling the truth and her story is corroborated that could be bad for Trev.
Overall I think it’s more likely that AW is toast. But this is all my opinion with limited information. We shall see what happens I guess…
Judge not lest ye be judgedHey, look:
The guy who trusted frost/Whipple to land the qb of the future instead of offering Flores!
Your posts toward me lately haven’t been very Christlike. Perhaps I will be a focus of your ‘24 silence retreat?
Either way, I hope all is well with you.
That street runs two ways, brotherJudge not lest ye be judged
I think we are tracking the same way. I must say though, from a performance standpoint, AW has the program doing well. Just landed 5* along with her daughter and this years' team is competitive and playing well.Well, let’s just see how this all plays out. In some cases coaches have to fall on the sword (or are forced to) when they really had no idea there was impropriety among their staff/players. The institutional control thing when sometimes there was absolutely nothing the HC could’ve done. And in these cases I believe it’s unfortunate that someone had to lose their job primarily due to other people’s actions. I understand that in most of these instances it’s necessary to move on from that coach and get a fresh start with someone new. Eliminate as much stench from the scandal as possible. But that doesn’t mean we can’t feel that was an unfortunate situation for that coach.
Now… if she did berate Ashley in front of the team from sleeping with her assistant coach, and then encourage her teammates/players to do so as well, then she deserves to be fired and I will not feel one bit sorry for her. But I do find that part of the story a bit hard to believe. I’m trying reserve judgement until I personally know more. But if her teammate’s corroborate her story and say it happened then the hell with Amy Williams, she’s obviously a terrible leader and nothing like the person I thought she was.
without knowing ALL the facts, I 1000% agree with this not being part of our culture....Scumbag
That blockhead trev is named is also telling.
Agree it will be interesting to hear his response
No room for any of this bullshit at NU
Questions:Not good. NE will have to pay.
Two sides to every story. Embarrassment and shame are followed by lies. We don’t really know how things happened or what really went on. Until we know facts instead of public shaming we don’t know anything. So simmer down with the firing of coaches. That’s your answer to everything. I agree there is no room for that shit here. Or anywhere for that matter. But we don’t even have the full story. Maybe we never will.Scumbag

Agreed. It took two and they were both wrong. Then they got caught and now nobody did anything to protect her. How long would it have gone on had they not been caught? The dude deserved to be terminated, not suspended. But it appears there is not an innocent party here. We need the facts, if we ever get all of them.Some of this is just weird. I'm not in this situation, but from there article this stood out among other things:
“When ASHLEY eventually did accept one of LOVE’s SnapChat invitations, they met in the parking lot of a Costco, after midnight. LOVE told ASHLEY he had just left the bars. They sat in the car and talked. LOVE chided ASHLEY about not bringing alcohol and asking her, if I leave for a different school, will you come with me?”
What did you think was going to happen in the parking lot at a Costco? I get the angle of wanting to be a coach and making sure you aren't ruining your shot, but what did you think this guy was pursuing? There is a lot of wrong here on the NU side, but surface level has some massive red flags on her side and looks like just searching for a settlement of some sort.
Yea you’re right a WBB coach’s side of the story is more important than the reputation of the state and the university.Two sides to every story. Embarrassment and shame are followed by lies.

You need to learn to read. Never did I say one side was more important than the other. I said we need the facts. Period.Yea you’re right a WBB coach’s side of the story is more important than the reputation of the state and the university.
Nobody gives a shit about these coaches or their sport. Everybody cares about our good name being dragged through the mud.
They’re scumbags for even having this bullshit enter the discussion. There is no room for that here.
The fact is this is headline news.You need to learn to read. Never did I say one side was more important than the other. I said we need the facts. Period.
They are allegations. It will undoubtedly be settled out of court. You put this in front of a jury at your own peril.Questions:
1. Is it against athletic policy for a coach to have a sexual relationship with a player if they're both consenting adults?
2. If the answer to #1 is yes (presume it is), and he was fired, didn't the University follow it's own guidelines?
3. If the answer to #2 is yes, then how is the University libel?
I know that young women can get caught up with a late 20s or early 30s something coach, but if she's 18 and he didn't assault her, kind of having trouble understanding how the University has any responsibility in this, other then they have the deep pockets. In reading the article, sounds like the player had plenty of opportunities to say no and/or to go the the administration and she didn't until it had gone way too far. Also interested in how she feels she was damaged.
BTW, the story about the ruse and the 3 hour team meeting are a little hard to believe, unless Williams is a complete idiot. The allegation from the player is that she essentially lied to everyone about their relationship, so who's to say she's not lying now?
You wake up. Anyone can go make a headline about someone. Doesn’t make everything they say true. I’m glad they’re both gone. They were both adults. They both made a stupid decision. And kept doing it until they got caught. We need ALL of the facts.The fact is this is headline news.
Only fact that matters.
Wake up
You can suspect all you wish but if you don’t have all the info it’s just a guess. Might as well be a modern day journalistOk. I've had enough comedy. What are we really working with? Amy... We can suspect is gone. Trev........ I don't quite know but that's in jeopardy
Ok, Kevin. You're a male Karen.You can suspect all you wish but if you don’t have all the info it’s just a guess. Might as well be a modern day journalist
Agreed 100% - if Williams aired this laundry to the whole team and allowed it be a public flogging she deserves to be fired. Who the hell handles it that way???Her losing her job will be deserved, not unfortunate
AlwaysThat street runs two ways, brother
Buckle up.This was interesting:
"Sometimes Love would tell her that he was out drinking with Williams’ husband and he would invite Ashley to join them."
Maybe Love trying to get a three-some started?
Ok so me calling out people for making things up and posting about a serious issue going on makes me a Karen. Don’t be so soft.Ok, Kevin. You're a male Karen.

Good post. A suggestion: leave the opinions out of the description of both points
Regarding the AD and HC:
1. This coach had been with the head coach for 10 years.
2. The coach was suspended with pay while the player was immediately removed altogether
These offenses statistically arent one offs. The head coach is thus more likely to have had complaints before this.
I am not sure what immediate removal from a women’s bball team means from a scholarship/benefits standpoint
Brother? Are you assuming the user’s gender?That street runs two ways, brother
I don’t think she will if the allegations are true.
