He was suspended and removed from the president search committee back then because of it

It’s ok. He’s not permanent, just took off the interim tag or whatever Rousse said

That’s bad. I would be fired for that.

It’s LSU. The line forms to the left of elite candidates and we just promoted a guy that’s never been an AD

LSU should have known it was coming - media has a “hard on” for everything here right now

Our next HC hire will be scrutinized profusely, as well. I HOPE they do their due diligence but very nervous.

It happened in 2018, I think the investigation was done years later

Revisiting this now but I recall Miriam Segar & Sharon Lewis being more in the wrong with that ordeal than Verge was. He served a suspension for it and figured it was behind them after that.
Verge sat on a text message for two weeks where a football player told him he abused another female athlete and he did NOTHING

didn’t tell the cops or anyone else. He handled it as poorly as possible

Drake Davis beat the shite out of that girl and Verge tried his hardest to just sweep it under the rug.


He's a career deputy, a 'Yes' man. Higher-ups told him to keep the news quiet, and he did. Later the higher-ups told him needed to take one for the team and fall on his sword - and he did.

Personally, he's not a bad guy. People who work with him like him a lot. However, he's a puppet. He's not the person we need to lead LSU's athletic department.

Miriam was more responsible for all the Derrius Guice stuff(purposely left his name off the rape report)

Drake texted verge telling him what happened and Verge didn’t do anything despite being legally required to do so

Why don't you ask who Verge is married to and you will find your answer.

Anyone willing to eat their crow now? Landry "just saying out loud what no one wants to say" has turned into an utter disaster.

So let me get this straight

Rousse removes Verge's interim tag because he's a yes-man and we're scrambling to not look incompetent in order to hire a HC

Rousse then learns after the fact about Verge's involvement in the cover-ups

Rousse then backtracks the interim-removal because he wants to separate himself from the Verge hire now that his transgressions are back in the news cycle

This is all within 24 hours of Rousse being named LSU system president

I miss anything?
Nope I think you summed up this cluster frick that is LSU sports and Louisiana politics

We deserve every f’ing bit of what’s coming. This was screwed up from the start and LSU continues to trip over its own dick.

What a bunch of idiots we have running this school

there is less than zero percent chance Rousse didn’t know about the coverups.

I agree.

Just bc some uppity new york journalists constantly have a hard on for attacking us doesnt mean we have to fire verge

frick them. Mind your own business. The player went to jail.
