Should be skipped. Been only two replies to your weekly and excellent game preview this week while 500 posts on this thread. ND game will be way down the line of media questioning and a "no comment" interview shouldn't be required of players who have been distracted enough doing what should have been done by administrators.
Agree. Desko should have skipped his too.
I think it’s likely the team knows way more than we do. I also respect the players for having the principles to take a stand. At the same time, these decisions cannot be made by players. There are legal issues, liability issues and due process rights issues that need to be considered. The university needs to be in charge and proceed cautiously.
Disagree with this 100%.
yes, and you would know better than me. but someone, 3rd party or not , made an allegation within 24 hours. or campus po made admin aware of an ongoing. the rest might come down to title 9 and a game of telephone and past behavior and relationships informing insider opinions.
And perhaps issues with how all of this is being perceived by the Haudenosaunee?
Away from any potential legal and criminal implications, does it really matter if the whole team does not want to be associated ? Can sixty players be forced to accept what they find unacceptable?
I’d be very surprised. Title 9 deals with status at the institution, not on athletic teams. Also, SU never to my knowledge bought into the changes in Title 9 guidance affording the accused more due process protection (and those were recently rescinded anyway).
Also 20 - 25 other current players liked or retweeted that. From new young arrivals like Tenaglia to 5th year seniors. These youngins do not tend to be dishonest on social media. Would hope that college crosse and other media folks who chimed in will at least acknowledge this wrinkle in the story. You can acknowledge this while not letting the admin off the hook.
