If the school has known since last December, why suspend him now?

Sure sounds like the time ran out to withhold documents to espn's public records request, doesn't it?

Only suspending him because the story came out. Not a good look for MSU

Is Kirby going to bring someone in from MADD? I'm sure you understand why it's important.

No. And he shouldn't. You can address the issues without the activism and agenda. Plus none of the current players had shite to do with what happened in the past. Why taint them with that stench?

At the end of the day, Mel Tucker is a dumbass, who got played. But these coaches who keep inviting activism into their locker rooms are playing with fire.

I'd say to Woodruff, you either suspend at the beginning of the process


Think about that for a minute and how it might go sideways/be abused and get back to me.

Do you think they'll hire Louis C.K. as the next coach?

Sounds like they were trying to avoid a mass exodus of player via the portal. Probably the same reason he's only suspended and not fired b/c the moment he's fired the players have 30 days get an immediate portal transfer.

Only if you think I am advocating for that. I don't care. The point which you might have missed is you either suspend at the beginning or end, not when the media finds out more than half way through.

This is how they get out of his buyout. Genius against his utter stupidity.

I disagree. Sunbelt Billy better watch his arse.

The story sounds ridiculous though. So he started masturbating while you were on the phone with him...my question, why didn't you just hang up if you weren't also in on it?

I just don’t understand anyone’s decision making here. At all.

MSU, Tucker, anyone.

Really need a transcript of this phone call. Was he already primed and ready when he made the call or was it a mid-call decision to bring out the little guy for some air.

Sounds suspect.

Rape advocate who gets "phone raped" ?

Is there a recording of this "sexual assault"?
