There was legitimate new information in the piece yesterday.

not really, there was an old memo from Alleva to the staff stating all sexual violence must be reported to admin. and there was a paper that discussed a sexual violence title 9 investigation from 2018 but was so redacted it was virtually incomprehensible. They mentioned an instance that the admin helped a victim fill out a police report but didn't correctly fill out a title 9 form.

And you wonder why this shite goes on around here. This is the kindve of attitude that leads to it. Excuse anything and attack the victim always, that’s how you create the culture we have now and put a big fat target on your back, Dipshit.

LSU is saban’s Bitch. Face it.

This USA Today crap feels way too calculated

EVERYTHING the MSM writes about or reports on is calculated to push THEIR agenda

The Title IX investigation report linked in the last USA Today article, while factually accurate, exemplifies all that is wrong with the law itself.

Calise Richardson was a student athlete recruiting hostess who had previously dated Drake Davis. After a game in October 2016, she walked into J&L's, saw him with another girl, called him out on it, didnt like what he said, and threw a drink in his face. That is according to her own statement and witnesses who were both her friends and his.

At that point, Davis' dumbass pushed her down and threw his own drink on her and was immediately thrown out of the bar. He then tried to approach her in the parking lot and showed up again at her apartment the same night. Totally unacceptable behavior from a piece of shite thug.

So, the next morning she reports and action is taken right? Nope. It is actually reported by either Davis or other players. She is brought in by her supervisor (Sharon Lewis, who heard of the incident from the players present in the bar) and asked if she wants to get help or go to the police. Richardson declines and she apparently forgets about it for two years.

At that point, the only compliance issue is the lack of someone not following a convoluted and poorly organized chain of command when reporting the incident to the Title IX department.

Two years later, she said she feels regret after hearing that Davis has been abusing other girls (along with being pissed about losing her job over the previous summer) and decides to pursue it again. It is then discovered that the reporting chain wasn't followed correctly, The Title IX office finally investigates and finds Lewis at fault. Enter USA Today and here we are.

Someone with a better legal understanding of this can correct me, but I believe Davis' status as an athlete has no bearing on the Title IX violation, but rather hinges only on them each being students. Tell me, if this is a bar fight between an EE major and her, is USA Today doing a story on a 3 yr old compliance snafu in the engineering department regarding an incident from 5 yrs ago?

I hate to sound like a Conspiracy Theorist but look at what happened to Ole Miss after they SCREWED UP and Beat Bama two years in a row? One would think that it is abundantly clear in College Football that you should not challenge the Evil Empire?

i'm pretty sure the players/Davis reported SHE attacked HIM

try to be honest

You lost me. How am I being dishonest? I only said the incident was reported by the players, as in not reported by her. And yes I agree that they likely blamed her for the incident. By her own admission she threw a drink at Davis. After that, all blame seems to lie with Davis and yes its easy to imagine his teammates saying what they could to support him when informing Craig of the incident.

this is spin

the law, AS WELL AS LSU'S POLICY, states these claims are to be reported to the Title 9 coordinator. it's not convoluted

the AD specifically instructed its employees/coaches to report them to a person working in the AD, which is the behaviors the law specifically tries to prevent. the whole point of the law is to avoid EXACTLY what LSU was doing (circumventing Title 9 compliance by keeping it "in house")

---

You misunderstood my point. When I said convoluted, I meant that it had to have been convoluted from Sharon Lewis' and Verge Ausberry's point of view. Lewis apparently had HR training that told her one way to handle a complaint, and an ignorant email from Alleva to her, Ausberry, Segar and the entire athletic department telling everyone to do something entirely different, and likely illegal.

Im not arguing that LSU isnt in seriously hot water over this. That's obvious. I'm trying to point out (poorly I admit) the absurdity of this situation's existence hinging on a victim who did not even initiate the original complaint.

Now, from that point forward, the manner in which the athletic department handled the issue resembles a monkey fricking a football. I'm not a lawyer, but I trust you when you say this is a legal nightmare.

Penn State got away with enjoying the young boy's for about 25 years !

Nationally, schools like Alabama, Notre Dame, USC, and Ohio State are bigger deals in the football world and anything that can knock LSU down a peg or two is not going to be discouraged.

Seems to me schools like those would be the first ones reporters would go after given half the chance. Bigger names, Bigger headlines.
