So Hugh Freeze contacts an escort service with his University issued phone and he is forced to resign. In doing this Ole Miss has shown that this is unacceptable behavior for the leader of young people and a representative of the University.

I can only guess they think this is....
1. Bad example to young people from a person with major influence/power.
2. Misuse of resources.
3. Goes against previously held moral/religious standards.

How many of you accept this level of scrutiny when it comes to an individual that holds this type of leadership position? Was his removal justified to you? How would you respond if he represented something you are a part of....say NU or an organization you belong to or support? Do you believe that we should live in a society that asks Football coaches to have a "moral turpitude" clause in their contracts......while, obviously, others in similar or even vastly more important positions are not held to these same types of standards?

Why are these even questions?
I feel like America is becoming the twilight zone sometimes.
 
Are you guy's really just buying that line from Ole Miss?

They've spent months protecting him and throwing the previous staff under the bus.

All they did was decide to cut their losses after this latest bit of stuff. Mark my words, Freeze is about to get a lot of blame for other stuff as well.

I agree. Twilight Zone indeed.

I ask these questions because the more I read the more I see people who are perfectly willing to ignore or make excuses for lying, amoral actions, poor leadership and worse. They will make excuses for those things and start blaming those who speak out about them.....but if a football coach does it then we are all in agreement.....he must go. We can't have him continue in a position that could influence people or represent a group. Why have such a high standard for football coaches but when someone else does it the excuses start to fly. Is that the society you want to live in?
 
Yet it's perfectly okay to give large bags of cash to relatives of recruits who happen to choose your school. SEC baby!
