re: LSU missed a lot of opportunities in this "scandal" that could have solved much of it

I haven't been enamored by Woodward, but to be fair he's dealt with more shite in his first couple years (MBB investigation, COVID-19, Title IX, etc.) than any LSU AD in recent memory, most of which he had no involvement with or control over. He's probably just still trying to tread water right now. If you read the HB report, it says dozens of times how things have gotten much better since Woodward took over.
