TFord and TRavs Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Idk if it was posted but a mizzou player was just suspended indefinitely. Maybe this mess from msu, Minnesota, slu etc isn’t isolated. Seems like a big metoo movement spreading to athletes now after the celebrities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the P-D today, Vassar was cleared by MSU's Title IX board back in 2014. How in the world could that scumbag skate by, but the SLU players get such a severe punishment? It has to be the Hearing Officer, doesn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGSLU Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 As I understand, Dr. Pestello has been at SLU now for seven years. Fr. Biondi (like him or not) built up the campus and hired Majerus, so I think he understood what would attract students (i.e., combination of an enhanced campus and a thriving on campus entertainment which would also enhance the school's brand on a larger scale). What has Dr. Pestello done to build on Fr. Biondi's foundation -- serious question. On the surface, Dr. Pestello doesn't seem to recognize the marketing provided by the basketball team and how it will enhance applications to the school. Simultaneously, SLU needs to attract a couple of top level scholars as professors in one or two prime subjects. They actually have this with the health law program but they don't seem to be doing anything to build on this highly rated program. A key hire or two in the business school would be a first step-- IF SLU wants to really be considered a good business school. Instead of attending a Jazz concert, our Nero should be working to right his ship. An unjust Title IX decision sets him back -- maybe even to pre-Biondi. I don't see how he justifies his continued position at this point. The Board's silence is deafening-- what is their purpose? Time to wake up and get things corrected-- sooner rather than later.

We can eventually get back. This needs to be talked about more often. This is a story line of this board. There is a light at this end of the tunnel. This is the reason I have faith, and the reason I will ultimately be a Billikens regardless of how this situation plays out.

How in the world could that scumbag skate by, but the SLU players get such a severe punishment? It has to be the Hearing Officer, doesn't it? There is a Florida case-- maybe University of Florida-- where the HO appointed was a big booster to the athletics program. As one would suspect, his decision was in favor of an accused football athlete. The accuser apparently appealed citing bias of the HO. The appeals stated something like a HO is entitled to a presumption of integrity and fair dealing. This language certainly doesn't help a claim of bias in SLU's case, but since facts of a case are often distinguishable, the language doesn't necessarily indicate that a reasonable person could not find bias in SLU's case. The appointment of the HO is certainly a key component in these cases, which brings SLU's appointment even more into question. Is there such a lack of competence at the highest levels in the school or some other agenda? If the agenda is to mire SLU into a lower tier institution, Dr. Pestello is to be commended.

Once somebody mentions S2 he will promptly leave and then sneak into courtside seats hoping that he will find friends. Unfortunately for Fred, he has no friends because people like people with a backbone. Fred has the backbone of an overstuffed burrito supreme from Taco Bell. As soon as he feels triggered, he will log onto the internet to access the survey in order to press the "I feel triggered button." Alas, the survey was taken down. Fred will be scared, triggered, and lost. He will then retreat to his safe space in a box where he will cry on Fran's shoulder. #FireFred NextYearBill likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trigger warning people are a loud minority and not representative of most kids. College kids just have a lot of free time and some push weird causes like this. It’s not most kids in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
