The collective indifference from the Boneyard surprised me. Makes me think I've underestimated UConn fans in general, and that this story is going to have a whole lot less "bite" than I thought it might a couple hours ago.
I do think that, in a bizarre way the Bernie Fine story has given Syracuse a huge amount of wiggle room as long as there's no solid evidence out in public. The media trashing of Syracuse started with a story that an assistant coach sexually molested boys, and the Boeheim must have known about it. So far there's nothing in evidence that makes a solid case for that, and a growing list of reasons to be skeptical that its probably not close to the true story. The result is that stories like this appear to be nothing but an attempt to pile on, and are likely to INCREASE public sympathy for Syracuse and JB.
