I know you'd love to kick my ass even though you've never met me and I've never done anything to you to deserve it.
Right. I keep saying we needs facts. You keep dripping your feelings all over this shit. Good thing it is innocent until proven guilty.
not in the court of public opinion, which has been my entire point
1. The settlement will be based on the amount verses the costs of going to trial. The insurance company will determine that.
I never said I’d like to do anything if the sort. Your screen name doesn’t bother me at all. The fact you have people guilty until proven innocent and are so hell bent on being an emotional wreck of what this looks like for the university is baffling. Anyone that has looked into this can see where this is headed. Someone looking for a payday. Happens to pro athletes a lot. This is nothing new in this day and age.
this is, of course, hilarious considering "Michigan cheated" and "iowa is racist"
let's say you do "run into me at a football game this fall"
Who is shaming her?
Please tell me where I made a physical threat. Did I say I was going to do something to you? Me saying I’d like to run into you at a game this fall is not threatening you. Not at all. My exact point you’re soft and full of anxiety. Grow up buttercup.
Tell me who cares about any of those things now, except maybe for you.
I absolutely would. I’ll have a beer with all of you at the rail yard before the game.
I don't know about that, I'm always surprised what people will do when the rubber meets the road.
That or see if this guy is actually like this in real life.
Maybe he wants to make out under the stadium bleachers with you
Athletes are not entitled to due process. I think that point is irrelevant. That Coach Love should have been thrown out on his ass right away but he wasn't because of legal obligations.
I just don't see it that way. I think Coach Williams (and her five star recruit from Elkhorn) stays. This is a money grab and nothing more. Throwing in the hot word of the day "grooming" is just semantics. The player could have gone to administration to report this behavior at any point and chose not to.
I don't see any damage. Both wrongdoers were dismissed from the program. Now one... hell maybe both of them... will sue to try to get rich off the deal.
And to that I ask, what is wrong with a little bit of public shame?
Sorry didn't mean that. Above posts suggest that. I don't see it either. Sorry I agree my comment came off that way
Due process might have not been the right term. Perhaps I should have said I wonder if a thorough investigation was done before the player was dismissed. Yep....legal obligations.
True, and I made that distinction in my original post. I just think it would have been smarter and ultimately cheaper to let Scoggin finish out the school year and then have her move on. Maybe she sues anyway, but it would made the actions taken by NU look a lot more deliberate and equitable. I don’t think Scoggin is going to make a killing from this lawsuit, but I do think she will be written a check.
I have a neighbor who lost his job as the store manager for the local Albertson store because he was having a consensual affair with one his employees. Another employee who for whatever reason did not like what was going on reported the affair to corporate headquarters. (They must not have been too discreet.). The woman told the corporate investigators that everything she had done with her boss was voluntary and done willingly. It did not matter. They were both fired. I don't know her, but it was a big hit for him. He was born and raised here and worked at three or four out-of-state locations before he got the store here back in his hometown. My biggest take away from all this is his wife stayed with him and as far as I can tell everything is ok between them.
Scroggin's birthday is May 8, 1998. I don't think it matters that she was over 21 years old when the scandal occurred.
