Wake Forest Scandal

Minnesota players boycotting their bowl

[Cr1028]

Is it overreaction to Baylor to the point where all it takes is an accusation for football players to get the boot? Or an assertion that we take accusations seriously and we don't want guys in our program that may have been accused?

I think this should warn us about a certain Mr. Barnett.

Yep. All it takes is an accusation... And a Title IX investigation... And evidence... And the accused changing their stories over time... And more new evidence (including video)... And admission by some involved. They released the full report... and it's pretty damning. I waited until reading everything I could before forming an opinion. 

Thing is, there's a code of conduct. I believe Minnesota suspended some b-ball players last year for something similar, but more consentual. So there really shouldn't be any confusion from these guys that the university might look cross at a train being run on some girl. 

The fact that the remaining players, who didn't have the evidence at the time of their boycott, thought they had ANY cause to boycott just shows how little the "student" part of student-athlete applies these days. 

I hope NIU gets their bowl game. Because F these spoiled tools.

Thanks. I hadn't heard any of the facts just hearsay.

University has declined request to reinstate said players, and the team has ended the boycott. Gophers will play Holiday Bowl.

Yep. One day after the report came out.

Army indicated that it received info from the Wake Forrest idiot.  Wondering what might come of that...honor code and all.

From what I've read, the concerns are for the 2014 & 2015 games, when the Army staff included a guy who worked at WF with the leaker.

Both games were wins for WF. 

If we got info, then we certainly should come clean. I hope that the only person involved at Army was the guy who is no longer on staff. 

The Honor Code applies to cadets.
