Callaway cleared

[Yankeetown]

They would need a positive test wouldn't they?

Well I thought about that, but don't know the answer. Probably depends on the precise wording of whoever's rule it is. Of course the Head Coach has wide discretion to apply sanctions for "conduct unbecoming" ... but if he was so inclined, that's again where "time (arguably unjustly) served" could come into play.

Guess we'll know soon enough, if Callaway is on the field in Game One then the penalties for off-fields actions are probably over.

(I hope the coaches are giving "don't be like those guys" lectures every day. It just amazes me that guys who undoubtedly aspire to million-dollar paychecks in the NFL can be so oblivious and undisciplined about their own self-interests.)

I'll admit the light didn't switch on for me until I hit about 20/21ish years old. Most of these kids aren't there yet.

I was closer to 30 about too many things.

I just don't get this crap. She basically held him hostage for 8 months saying she was sexually assaulted because she was intoxicated meaning she couldn't give consent. Yet he was as well in some fashion. It's total BS imo

Based off of what I read, it seems to me that Callaway has some sort of claim (counter-claim if you will) pending against her in student court. He may be pissed off at her for causing him 8 months worth of BS and it sounds like he is willing to pursue her for allegedly making a false claim. If he didn't do what she accused him of then I say good for him for pursuing redress against her. Maybe Clune's statement that she may not continue her education at UF is code for she knows she is fcvked in student court and is using "the moderator in the Callaway hearing was biased against me so not only am I not going to show up for his hearing, I'm leaving school altogether" as a way to skip her own code of conduct hearing by slithering away in the dark of night.

GiG, I agree with your thinking that false accusers (or lax accusers) will at least recognise the
backlash potential if they are lax about seeking LE verification-steps immediately. Any lax accuser
must face some kind of equalizer effect of accountability for reeking havoc on the life of the targeted
person. Only such a sequence will hone these "trials" into incorporating greater likelihood of "truth"
accessible to both sides of this equation. Such a "snug" protocol standardized will help any truly
aggrieved weaker sex victim -- now as well as future victims.

Right now the false accuser (feemale) can right off strike fear into the life of the accused, such that
if the accused already had wealth his reps would advise him not to fight for the truth due to it ruining
his rep and costing more money than a quick settlement ... regardless of his innocence.

Glad to hear that if it was BS. In many schools you are out of luck if a female makes a false claim against you. Even if you have evidence to show that was the case.

I dont know. A positive test is evidence of use and an admissiin is evidence of use. Hasnt he already been suspended once? I think it is three games this time.

 

[Chomper]

It would be satisfying to say that the system worked in this case. But to be falsely accused even when no physical evidence exists can still be a nightmare for the accused. Callaway was cleared, as the headline says, but he still paid a steep price - suspended from school, suspended from practice, legal fees, etc. Where is the justice in that?

He played in all 14 games last year.

I've been wrong before.

Yeah, you do get it in ahead of anyone else.

So what's the sentence for being "not responsible"?

 

[CGgater]

Reading a summary of Mac's comments today about the AC situation and speculation about how he would handle the revelation of the "I was high" defense... Mac danced around a bit, but sounded like he thought AC had already suffered enough. Maybe there are specific suspensions to apply by policy, but I'm guessing Mac won't pile on unless AC doesn't show signs that he learned his lesson.

If I'm not mistaken, we don't suspend players until their 3rd positive drug test for weed.
