Title IX Allegations - Update

This might be our chance to get rid of Coach O!

If there was a coverup (and I mean IF) then those people should get the axe ASAP and never be allowed back on campus.

You are a fricking idiot that is getting all your info from USA Today without doing any kind of other research

Godchaux and Phillips were suspended until cleared by BRPD
Delpits allegations were reported
Provens/Parrish / the other 2 recent ones all were suspended as soon or before allegations came out then left school or were kicked off football team

Verge/ the tennis coaches/Joseph are in trouble for Davis/Guice situations
Fking/alleva/ some other school admin might be. O and miles might be
Woodward won’t be

why is the university on the hook,why didnt the victim go to law enforcement$

Like it or not, the Title IX laws say:
A college or university that receives federal funds may be held legally responsible when it knows about and ignores sexual harassment or assault in its programs or activities.

Believe USA Today or not, this is what they are reporting:
USA TODAY found that at least nine LSU football players have been reported to police for sexual misconduct and dating violence since coach Ed Orgeron took over the team four years ago. The university has disciplined two of them.

Should have gone to the police?

Yes, of course. The victims should be blamed.

Wow.

Also Midtiger Farm;

You should probably explain all of your "truth" to the 200+ students and growing that started protesting LSU's handling of title IX alleged offenses on Wednesday. My point with starting this thread is this has a chance to become real big news, real fast.

It isn't going away just because you call me a fricking idiot for bringing up the topic.

USA Today’s story was padded with bullshite allegations to heighten the drama and the link to the athletic dept. The stuff they reported on Guice and Davis is terrible and has to be dealt with. However, the rest of their reporting on the football team appears to at best be poorly researched and at worst, completely slanted and misrepresented for heightened effect.

The reporting on Guice, Davis and the other university students seems to have been well done and that should have been the extent of it. Lobbing additional accusations against guys who were either dealt with via proper Title 9 procedures, had their Title 9 proceeding on hold pending legal actions in progress, were already in the transfer portal and gone before Title 9 got involved, or were fricking publicly cleared is bullshite. They keep going back to the same well that LSU only officially punished two guys, but every LSU football fan knows what has happened to these other guys. Parker, Provins and Parish were dealt with. So was the Tight End who’s name escapes me. Reporting the way USA Today is not intellectually honest or unbiased.

These investigative “journalists” had a real story here but ruined their credibility with many of us by padding their article with fluff and borderline libel to make a bigger splash.

You can’t fire anyone on staff with cause unless it’s ironclad.

are you sure contract lawyer? So there’s nothing in there about being responsible for the program as a head coach including the actions of your staff. This isn’t “proven beyond the shadow of a doubt” dummy. This is about reasonableness. Hell, OJ didn’t go to jail for murder, but he sure got his arse sued and lost pretty much everything that wasn’t hidden.

Orgeron will be held accountable in his part if he either knew or should have known about the allegations and failed to address it accordingly including but not limited to firing or suspending or reporting to the police any of his staff as well as the athlete involved should they acted inappropriately. This accountability may include his dismissal or forfeiture of his salary or restitution payments to the victims if any of this is true when he was HC or if he was involved when he wasn’t and it was his position group involved.

This situation has turned into people mad at O for the abysmal product on the field and hoping these allegations are true so we have justification to fire him with cause. It’s pretty sad and pathetic.

I hated the Orgeron hire and was vocal about it. But he brought a championship to LSU less than a year ago and in true rant fashion, everybody wants him fired for one down year in the middle of a pandemic with a bare cupboard.
