Boy what difference in image he try’s to portray





*******The following information comes from the report filed by the law-firm the University of New Mexico hired to investigate the allegations against Bob Davie.

In February of 2017, a UNM student went to UNM police to report that she had been raped by a UNM football player in his dorm room.

The case was assigned to a Sexual Misconduct and Assault Response Team (SMART) officer, who conducted the investigation.

When questioned by the officer, the player at first denied having any sexual conduct with the victim at the time of the reported assault.

However, after being shown a series of text messages between him and the victim the night and morning of the alleged rape he eventually admitted to officers that he had sexual conduct with the victim.

Coach Davie met with the investigating officer and another football player who showed the officer a video of the victim – he believed was taken the night of the assault. Davie allegedly told the officer that the video undermined the victim’s credibility and continued to advocate for the player accused of rape.

Sometime after the assault – the victim sent an email to her student advocate after she heard that many of the football players had been spreading stories about her and calling the assault a “false rape charge.” Players had allegedly been telling people that Coach Davie “was going to take care of it.”

The criminal prosecution of the assault was terminated because the accusing student was no longer enrolled in the university.

The judge’s preliminary investigation confirms that UNM police investigators and supervisors were unhappy that the assault charges were dismissed – because they believed the evidence against the player in question was strong. Not only was their DNA evidence confirming the sexual conduct, but the player had admitted to using force after repeated pleas from the victim to stop. Witnesses who spoke to the judge claim Coach Davie held a team meeting in which he told players to “get some dirt on this w***e.”

Racist Slurs & Discrimination Allegations:

The following information is from the Final Case Report from UNM’s Office of Equal Opportunity.

· Players allege during a football camp in Ruidoso, New Mexico, four African American football players were sitting on a golf cart when Davie walked over and said, "What are you doing on a white man's tractor?"

· Players also allege that during an argument with a former football player, Davie said to the player, "I'm your [n-word]."

· A professor also said one player reported "multiple coaches on the football team use the n-word in reference to players."

· A former football player alleges Davie went to players at football camp and said, "What are you doing on the golf cart? That's a white man's sport."

· The mother of a player who left the program alleges Davie called him the n-word because he is black. The player also told his mother, "I can't tell you about all the stuff he said and done to me."

Physical Abuse against Players Allegations:

The following information is from the Final Case Report from UNM’s Office of Equal Opportunity.

· An ex-football player said he saw Davie scream at, get in the face of, physically grab and assault people, both players and coaches.

· That ex-player says during a game UNM was losing, Davie told another player who was hurt and in a leg boot, “What the f**k is so funny?” and got in the player’s face. The ex-player said the injured player tried to turn his head away from Davie, but Davie grabbed him by the collar and pushed him until he fell to the ground. The injured player pulled Davie with him and they wrestled on the ground for a bit. The injured player ended up on top of Davie and left the game area entirely.

· The same ex-player reported that players would call the football program “Auschwitz” because of how bad Davie made it, and they would call him “Massa Davie, ” referring to the slave term for a master.

· A retired employee of the Athletic Department said she heard stories that Davie may have lunged at a football player and may have grabbed a player’s head when he was being treated for a concussion.

· A staff member in the football program says he saw an altercation between Davie and an African American player. Dave told a player to be quiet during a game, and after the third or fourth time, Davie went over and grabbed the player by his pads and jersey, and shoved him up against the wall. The player pushed Davie off him, and Davie fell and broke his thumb. The player yelled, “I’m going to call my dad. I’m going to the papers and everyone is going to know what you did.”

· A current staff member in the department said he heard that Davie lunged at a player and that Davie hurt his wrist in the process. This same staff member also heard that Davie grabbed a player being treat for a concussion.
