Agree the likely outcome of this process, meaning the sanctions, will not be announced to the public unless they involve expulsion or additional suspension which I think are unlikely outcomes.

(I had to skim this interminably long thread to find this; I found it on page 50 [for me -- may be different for non-moderators, as the system continues to count hidden posts for moderators].) As a result of the pattern, I don't think any SLU official source will announce that the players will play except perhaps to Durando (which probably comes from the SID, not the president's office). So we await to see what Durando tweets today and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgstl Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Speculation time, gather around. AD had a tweet earlier at which someone replied by asking if he was playing tomorrow. AD never responded. The only reason this has me raise an eyebrow, s2 players have been quick to reply if they're not playing. VeniceMenace likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for a fact Stu was not in Portland for that game. Certainly limits the amount of info he can gather and we can glean. If it's a local writer in DC for the game I hope he's up to speed on the "Situation 2.0" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgeldmacher Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I agree with Old Guy that there may not be any announcement. The three may just show up and start playing. The administration may muzzle everyone and tell them not to talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mmmmmm, my glass half full mindset says they wouldn't have all been in that photo if they weren't playing tomorrow. I think they know they're playing, but just have been told to keep quiet.

Macallan 18 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not sure why so many on this board think there will be an announcement? The University only owes a decision and communication to the involved parties. Outside of that it is a private matter at a private university. The announcement will be if the players are on the floor or if formal suspensions or expulsions are given? The picture speaks volumes in my opinion with the players are on radio silence and social media lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, if anything, the university will announce that a decision has been made after extensive review, but that that decision is a private matter due to blah blah blah guidelines. They put themselves in a weird situation by sending out that second email saying that the incident was still under review or whatever. It was a way of acknowledging he elephant in the room without actually acknowledging the elephant in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always likes to see himself on the inside on recruiting issues, would have thought he would want to be out front on this, too. mhg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a local writer in DC for the game I hope he's up to speed on the "Situation 2.0" Even when Durando doesn't travel to the away games, he usually does a game preview that appears in the Post-Dispatch the day of the game. He may be working on that as I type, and he will complete it today. I'm sure he'll ask if Henriquez, Bishop, and Graves will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to be hopeful and share this sentiment. On some level, I do. However, given how inept the athletic department seems to be, are we really expecting that they are exhibiting this kind of control and planning over the situation?

slufan13 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 My only fear is that it was a good ruiling but the school doesn't let the players play during the appeal process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think that Ford is Frank's source for some of his SLU scoops. Here, even if he knew, Ford would be prohibited by law from passing along info. Same would apply to anyone involved. Ergo, Frank gets no scoops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
