Has UF issued an official statement even condemning what J.Jones did? Or has UF stayed silent, ignoring the PR damage that this unfettered speculation can pose? Can anyone provide an official UF response?
It irritates that Jalon Jones issues only the announcement that he's entering the transfer portal, as if he's rejecting UF like some respectable transfer that happens all the time.
At Mullen's meeting in the Steele family living room, what did Mullen say? "We had no way of knowing JJ was a moral reprobate.".... then turn to Chris = "You had no way of knowing, huh Chris?"
Maybe it's too soon to condemn the PR sluggishness? IDK? But for most horrid events like this I want UF to condemn with rapid response. Wrongdoing occurs at most schools ... and it will occur again. Do some pre-thinking on the PR responses to not be caught off-guard, to not allow "suspicions" cast on the University.
It's questionable that the best outcome will be for Steele to stay a Gator, and become a star. (Although, you know, the TV announcers will repeatedly mention Steele's name being associated with a double rape.) ???
I'm sure you remember HIPPA.....The University is under similar student privacy restrictions.
