This is just odd. Statute of limitations here? I don't know. Seems incredibly weird to file a lawsuit 16 years after something happens. Especially something this severe in nature.
Over/Under on how long it goes on before her attorney and OSU settle out of court for around $1M?
This is just another person looking to get paid off. The girl was clearly drinking and put herself in the situation.. The typical "I had a couple drinks". If it did happen that sucks but seems hard to believe.
I Hate hearing the old "She shouldn't have been drinking/She was asking for it" argument. So women aren't allowed to consume alcohol around men? Bull----.This is just another person looking to get paid off. The girl was clearly drinking and put herself in the situation.. The typical "I had a couple drinks".

I agree the case has zero shot, but the university needs to do a cost analysis on how much it will cost to fight, and the intangible of how this dragging through court for years will tarnish the university. They may pay just to get her off their back.There will be no settlement. This case has zero shot. ORegon State will hold pat for years. They're basically going to try and prove that a preponderance of evidence illustrates Mike Riley oversaw a culture of violence and rape in 1998 which led to an alleged assault in 1999. Its utterly ridiculous.
Her attorney must be a loser.
Can a judge ask a plaintiff "why now?" in terms of timing in lawsuit?
It wasn't even OSU football players...it was relatives of OSU football players. Alleged occurrence didn't happen on campus either...

That said, this case looks pretty thin. Not sure why Mike Riley is named here.
You are spot on! People just look for an excuse for there actionsI partied pretty hard in college and still do to some degree. And I've been around many, many people who got completely trashed to the point of incoherence and then the next day said, "Someone must have put something in my drink." In no way am I judging this girl but unless there's this massive underground market for that drug, which I've never been around, in most cases you just drank too much. At least that's how it's been with the people I've been around.
I agree with you about the victim blaming. On this case though, it doesn't look like she has much to stand on. She never reported the rape to police. It happened off campus with someone who didn't go to OSU. I'm not sure why OSU is responsible for none students off campus.

I just don't get how people always jump to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the woman when one of these cases comes out. Were you there? How do you know that's what's going on here?Not saying rape is ok l by any means but many times people make dumb decisions and look for a scape goat

So, without commenting on the woman or the evidence, I think it's safe to say that Mike's culpability is a stretch. But it's important to keep an open mind in these cases and not jump to conclusions.
Have you read the police report on it? Yes if it did happen it's terrible but it's just as bad when people make up things because they partied to hard and need a scape goat for there actionsI just don't get how people always jump to the conclusion that there was something wrong with the woman when one of these cases comes out.

I see this point. I see the other side as well well girls barely wear any clothing out, get hammered beyond belief, end up at some guys house and the cry wolf because they were to drunk to remember what happenedSome of you guys don't realize how common it is for a woman to be drugged at a bar. It happens far more than people appear to want to acknowledge. I'm not taking a position on any case; however, to minimize the significance of drugs that are used to sexually assault is a huge mistake.
I have, and I agree it looks strange (especially where MR is involved). I just to prefer to let it play out in court before I speak with certitude on it. Given the vulnerability of the real victims in these cases, I just don't want have calling out a victim on my conscience if it ends up she has a legitimate claim...Have you read the police report on it?

I agree.. It's just disappointing media had to draw this all the way back to Riley. That's what makes it fishy someone is looking for moneyI have, and I agree it looks strange (especially where MR is involved).
