Soderball Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just in case you all needed another reminder of how insane and stupid collegiate athletics is becoming. The NCAA should just fold.

Lord Elrond Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 What’s next? Is the judge going to sign off on who starts and who subs in to insure fairness for Shannon? When Shannon gets subbed out? How many total minutes he plays? How many shot attempts he gets per game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NextYearBill Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Where was this during Situation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRN Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 6 minutes ago, NextYearBill said: Where was this during Situation 1 There weren’t court charges filed against the players. It was all done within the Title IX process. I don’t believe you can get a court injunction for internal kangaroo court processes like that.

It appears the judge found that the school didn’t follow their own rules for these kind of situations. TRN and JMM28 like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Think you could also argue why a complaint was filed in september and charges weren't filed until 3 months later. Why the wait by Lawrence PD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the wait by Lawrence PD? I’m not condoning what Shannon did at all, by any means. But it seems like the DA overcharged him based on an interpretation of the law. It took them 3 months to issue the charges, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the wait by Lawrence PD? I have no info about this but sometimes it takes a while to get people to step forward. Maybe the player was not cooperating - who knows but it is not unusual for something like this to take time before the DA decides - not saying this right just that it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The victim was ok with it when she thought he was a KU football player, but when she found out he was an Illinois basketball player she got upset. The DA charged him with the harshest law.
