This is an Opinion piece by the same "reporter" who made an opinion about the handling of the complaints against Verge in 2021. He was suspended but reinstated. That was determined by the administration at the time to be sufficient due to the totality of the circumstances. Essentially, he failed to report an alleged domestic battery by Drake Davis who texted his admission to Verge as a self defense claim, but then later denied hitting her. The victim herself did not make the complaint as it was reported two weeks later due to her receiving treatment from the trainers (she was also an athlete).

My Opinion was that it was handled appropriately at the time. My Opinion is that this is a shitty hit piece by a "reporter" with an agenda. My Opinion is that Verge can adequately handle the AD job in the short term, and maybe longterm, with little to no learning curve as he has been involved in the Athletic administration in a very high position for a long time. He knows all the people involved and how the programs work. No one involved in Athletics has voiced any concerns about him taking over. In fact, Mulkey was happy for him.

This is how I remember it.
The article wants people to think Verge committed assault himself.

At risk of being Captain Obvious, I think its pretty apparent now that Saban won't come anywhere near this shite show.

If it was up to verge the player would receive no discipline and would still be out there beating and raping women

We should pull the ultimate Uno reverse card on them and bombard them with messages about them being racist and wanting to see a black man fail. I’m tired of all these stupid arse northern elitist publications trying to besmirch LSU at every turn.

Thought for sure this would be by Dan Wolken or Pat Forde. I’m surprised.

Is that supposed to make it better?

Verge tried to cover up a crime that was worthy of jail time. And that crime was against another LSU student athlete

He called drake davis immediately and was told that he didnt hit her and the event was self defense. The girl didnt even report it.

Verge is not a bad person, he got caught in a weird circumstance… was investigated and subsequently cleared.

Verge sat on a text message for two weeks where a football player told him he abused another female athlete and he did NOTHING

He sat on it longer than that. The only reason anyone knows about that text message is that the DA’s office found it on Drake Davis’ phone.
