Well i can see that line of logic, but i am not arguing that there aren't a lot of costs - i was just saying that protecting a relatively minor portion of the revenue generated through an action which puts a much larger portion of the revenue at major risk would be an incredibly dumb and shortsighted decision regardless of the morality of any decision.

Unlike Lsu, we have money to burn.

I have not read all of the thread. Are you one of the homers that was blaming the victim and saying how none of this could be true, in spite of having very few of the facts out yet?
The butthurt is strong in you. I would rather stick with the facts but you seem to want to make it personal as part of your deflection agenda. Your protection at all costs attitude is part of what got us to this point.

We still have very few full facts available - there are a lot of partial facts and speculation and connecting of the dots but insufficient substance at this point.

Correct. Some of the things we do know are pretty damning. Some of the connections that are obvious using common sense will never be made in court.
Just to speculate, and ask for the attorneys here to chime in, Why would this other attorney be releasing a bunch of articles stating things as fact, when so much is largely unknown? Is he trying to goad them into suing him so he can depose them, ad nauseum?

Watkins isn't directly involved in the case to my knowledge. Go back and read the articles on his facebook to get a clearer picture of why he is saying what he is - or the reason he is presenting.
The last few articles have become more apparent that he is playing it up to a certain degree - that may jsut be how he does what he does - but its certainly necessary to consider his angle.

Yes, but we have only heard one side of it and its hard to figure out what is important and what is circumstantial at least to me. The defendants in these situations typically keep quiet until you get further along.
And its hard to tell with Watkins, the PAC connections and timing of the grand jury are real, but what do they mean, is he playing it up similar to the Duke Lacrosse DA (obviously that is the extreme example who also kept saying he was only searching for the truth) or can we take what he is saying at face value?
And regarding the connections - specifically to UA - its a small town and UA is the major employer there are going to be associations to some degree.
Take the connection to the sheriff's wife - what is that she could even do that is nefarious? She is a fundraiser, a very common position. Is the implication that she is running around offering protection from the sheriff or political favors for donations because that seems very far fetched. A lot of these connections can be circumstantial and mean nothing or make common sense for a conspiracy / grand cover up depending on your angle.
As one great investigator said "This is a very complicated case. You know, a lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-have-you's."

Donald Watkins is woke: Stay tuned.
COMING SUNDAY---
The University of Alabama has steadfastly failed and refused to demand a full and fair investigation by a special prosecutor into the July 1, 2015, alleged rape of honors student Megan Rondini. The Sheriff and local prosecutors who had the power and authority to pursue justice in Megan's rape case took laundered campaign money from the company of Terry Jackson Bunn, a member of the powerful University President's Cabinet.
Lyn Head, the prosecutor in Megan's case, also took laundered campaign money from the criminal suspect named in Megan's rape report even though her political campaign for district attorney was over and she had been defeated in her election bid.
President Stuart Bell and the Board of Trustees have remained eerily silent on the subjects of Megan's alleged rape and subsequent suicide despite the growing body of evidence that T.J. "Sweet T" Bunn, Jr., enjoyed a special form of immunity from prosecution and protectionism within the Tuscaloosa law enforcement community.
Is this deafening silence tied to the Bunn family's cozy relationship with the University and the University's incestuous relationship with Tuscaloosa Sheriff Ron Abernathy and his wife Leslie? Is it designed to send a direct and overt message to Tuscaloosa's oligarchy that the University will protect its members under the most difficult circumstances?
Is the University knowingly and willingly facilitating Sheriff Abernathy's cover-up in Megan's case? If so, how and why?
Has the University chosen to elevate and safeguard its strategic relationships with the Bunn family and Sheriff Abernathy over the competing interests in protecting female students from rape and pursuing criminal justice in Megan's case? If so, why?
We will answer these and other burning questions in the Megan Rondini rape case. Stay tuned. The truth on these matters is coming out Sunday.

Seems like he coulda just written the answers in stead of writing a story about how he will be answering these questions in the future. Or just waited and wrote the story and put it out tomorrow without the grandstanding.
- just would be my preference...

Donald Watkins without the grandstanding? Surely you jest.

This is my first knowledge of him - although i have recently read a few articles about his past ... workings?.

How is this thread still going and not anchored, and what does any of this have to do with the University of Alabama outside of it involving a student?
How is this clearly deceptive thread title allowed to stand?

Really? He has been around Alabama and Birmingham politics a long time. I think is sort of semi retired an lives in Miami now. I always considered him to be Birmingham's version of Johnny Cochran. Very plugged in to black political circles in Alabama and key advisor to former Mayor Arrington. Started a bank as well.
Watkins would be best known on this board for his involvement with Eric Ramsey. Really stuck it to Auburn which ended up getting Pat Dye fired. He is a pitbull bomb thrower so if I was one of the players this sordid tale I would be nervous.

Bama posters desperately want this thread to die like the bunns and bama elite.
Well new discoveries occurring each day that clearly shows corruption at some levels within both the police force and UA administration.

Try reading some of the thread, starting about 15 pagers ago. Read the links too.

How is knowing your University puts donation money ahead of students' safety?

I mean it looks that way - but we only really have one side. I think Duke Lacrosse case (hell even ATPB / Cam saga) should have taught people to be somewhat cautious with all stories and not get ready to string people up before all facts are brought to light.
As of now we have a lot of partial facts, smoke and circumstantial evidence - most seeming to implicate TPD and DA office - but not a whole lot of substance.

Has zero to do with football man. It's a story that keeps building and has all the variables to be a huge shite show. Just happens to be at UA. Won't be as big as penn state but certainly has potential to bring down a lot of people all because UA protecting a donor. Also, the girl reached out several times to her school counselors. They shunned her bc of The bunns connection. She killed herself bc of this and not being taken serious.
I found it weird he got his Dwi on night she killed herself.
