Sharon is a good woman, a lot of people have comments without knowing the person. She will land on her feet. And though I thought this move to be investable, we took a loss on this one. Also Lsu will settle.
Happen to know this person. Although the law suit amount is absolutely comically ridiculous, she was being set up to be the fall person in all of this- And that was bullshite.
She reported all of this stuff to who it was supposed to be reported to, and Miriam/Verge tried to roll her to save themselves.
She’s not the enemy a lot of you are making her out to be. Of course she’s replaceable, but having an alumni athlete in that role, was big for recruiting. She did well with the parents and organized all the events.
Again, the lawsuit is outrageous and makes her look stupid.

Every football office has a Sharon Lewis.
They all know where all the bodies are buried -- because they helped bury some of them.
LSU's athletic department did some sloppy work. Lewis got caught in the middle.
Of course her lawsuit asked for an astronomical figure. It's what plaintiffs' lawyers do.
Common sense says there will be a settlement before this ever goes to court and Sharon Lewis won't have to work another day in her life. There will be a steep price tag for her silence.

$50 million?? When you sue anyone or anything for $50 million, you're going to have a lot of people calling you a gold digger, etc.

She exhibited courage during the low points of Title IX under Miles tenure. Earned my respect while reading HB report. Filing lawsuit did not change my opinion. However, the $50 million greed factor more than erased my opinion.
I also think she made a huge mistake, and it's on Sharon, by letting those two lawyers of her's get their hooks in. They are taking her for a ride. From way outside looking in she's the Stormy and they are the Avenatti in this comparison.
Lewis did a lot of good for a lot of recruits and players (and dare I say coaches too) for many years. Sad she chose this, but chose it she did and it won't end well for her. They'll settle like someone above said, and those lawyers will get all the money, she will have destroyed her own notable career, and future players lost a good helping hand. There's a lot losers in this one because of the choices she made.

No. No she did not. She tried to keep things internal until that option was no longer possible. Then she started reporting things not as a matter of protecting the young women but more for self preservation.
Every LSU employee is required to train annually on what to do in sexual harassment/assault situations. In that training they are directed to report violations DIRECTLY to the title IX office. She violated those rules on numerous occasions

So did verge and he’s still working.

I’ve read the thread … if she’s such a good person why throw in the EEOC claim if this is about Title IX ?
She blew the chance of this being retaliation by staying on the job and now she’s going to scream racism ?
That my friends is the BS in all of this

It's funny hearing some of you welfare people support this POS.

Absolutely. But, the people defending her are racists themselves...always looking for the handout.

Except the Athletic Director mandated bypassing the Title 9 office

Piss on that bitch.

Attorneys representing Lewis told Tiger Rag that she was fired by LSU athletic director Scott Woodward on Jan. 5.
I wish he would have fired her on Jan 6. She seem to be the type to let that really eat her up.

He shouldn't be nor should Miriam IMO

Doesn't matter. LSU policy supercedes any direct supervisor. They should have asked once the supervisors instructions contradicted corporate policy. Several departments on campus actually had that same issue come up. They escalated to the VP levels and the dean was admonished.
Verge and Miriam being HIGHLY paid senior administrators should have NEVER allowed for confusion in the first place. I'd also argue they wielded their heavy influence on Joe (who is weak AF) to create the policy of keeping things within athletics. They argue they wanted coaches to have someone they knew to talk with on these matters. LSU policy says report them directly period

insane media backlash. The facts of what actually happened would be 100% irrelevant. The headlines will read that LSU fired two black people in the title 9 stuff, and did nothing to anybody else
Well then LSU should have our Black President fire his arse then.

In Louisiana you do not have to have a reason to terminate. It's called employ at will
Not quite as clear-cut as you think. Louisiana is at-will employment state, but there are exceptions to that. You can't fire someone based on the employee’s race, color, sex, pregnancy, age, national origin, religion, handicap, or disability. There are other laws that protect people for doing things like... complaining about discrimination, filing worker’s comp claims, union activities, jury duty, whistleblowing or filing complaints with other regulating agencies (work safety, environmental, etc)
I have zero idea what this woman did or didn't do. So I'm not saying this was a wrongful or justified termination. I'm just pointing out that "at-will" has some boundaries you can't cross.

She was a part of a toxic culture that I’m glad LSU is trying to get rid of. I personally interacted with Sharon regularly from 2011 through 2016 for recruiting events and she always presented herself as a nice and professional person. However, change needed to be made and I’m glad it did.
