Commenting on your comment, if the players were not allowed to play to maintain separation between players and accusers, then the accusers should not have been allowed to be present during games either. Fair is fair, whether it makes sense or not, right?

Can you please explain that cheeseman. If you go in voluntarily you are arrested?

So now, give them a couple of weeks so the lawyers and involved parties can get their act together before they raise whatever objections, complaints, and appeals they may have to present about the report that will be discussed with them. Allow another 6 months for the appeals to run through and then we can come to the second review of the (now amended) report to be followed by the second round of objections, complaints, and appeals that will have to run in their own sweet time. Maybe this will be over before the start of the 2018-19 season. Aren't government regulations a lot of fun?

This is particularly true when you are short handed and desperately need anyone who can contribute during play.

Biondi was trying to develop a soft touch at the time of S1.

Biondi would have ended this situation 2 nonsense in a couple of weeks. Everyone involved in it would have been expelled and the title IX proceedings ended, he would have saved a ton of money compared to what this thing is costing the University. Then he would have hired a high power lawyer to defend the University against law suits, spending some of the money saved. He probably would have commissioned a new statue to commemorate the event, spending the rest of the money saved. That is the Biondi I know of. I am glad Biondi is not SLU's President during situation 2. Pestello may have his issues, but nothing like Biondi had.

I really do not think that this matter of sanctions has only two possible outcomes: either expulsion, or a full pardon (I really do not know a better word). I think there are any number of other options, requiring neither a pardon nor expulsion, that are more likely outcomes than the two extreme ones. If this is the case there is no reason for the kids not to be allowed to register for the second semester.

You are totally wrong Compton, you cannot extend the way a single game is played by any team to the way that same team will play the whole season. There will always be extremely well played games and terribly played games (and every shade in between) in a season. The LaSalle game was certainly not one of our best played games, other games may, and probably will, be better played by us than that one was.

I believe Zeke transferred out of his own volition, for whatever reason. I do not think Ford had anything to do with Zeke's departure.

OK, something to look forward to.

Happy new year to all.

Delusions are OK, what is not OK is the feeling that you have been victimized once more when the delusions do not happen as expected.

Not my gradnkid Jimbo, nice kid though.

No I have no idea, and I am not a donor either.

Of course you know this for a fact, because you are both a booster and a donor, right?

The apparent double fracture of the same foot that (we do not know the facts) apparently took a turn for the worse and landed him back in a boot are not good prognostic features in terms of his ability to play again.

It's looking that way isn't it?

Agree you could get an injunction quickly, but this was not done.

Cheeseman I hope you realize that you are commenting about the very large number of actions and moves that are available in a legal situation, including injunctions and civil suits. I would think that you realize that all of this stuff requires time to do properly, and that these actions are available to both sides. These are actions which can be commented upon, and discussed, and appealed. The process takes a LOT of time to go through.

I think La Salle is a winnable game, even at LaSalle. Depends entirely on what the team plays like and the officiating they get.

The answer to your question Clock is that short of expulsion or a longer suspension time, we will probably never know what the sanctions against the players will be even after the whole process is finished and the kids receive whatever sanctions they are going to receive. I think there is no way they are going to make public any conditional or probation sanctions that may come out of this process and I believe nobody will be expelled or kept suspended beyond this year either. That said I think the appeals process will continue at its own pace, which is very slow, until it is done. I do not think the kids will get to play this year. Again this is my opinion based upon the way the process has been progressing so far, which is very slowly.

Nope, that is not what is about to happen. If I understand the process, the lawyers on both sides will jockey around with appeals and negotiations trying to get the best deals for their clients. The difference is that now they have a solid point of reference, they know what the recommendations in the report are, now comes the process of trying to get a less onerous sanction for their clients. This can take some time still.

They will sell it to a local power plant.

OK 3 star that makes 2 of us predicting a .500 year in conference play. May we be wrong and may they go over this number.

True, a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2018 to all of you.
