Wow, the story made the USA today. Must be huge.

I think under the new Trump regime, sexual harassment will no longer be policed. Complainers will be sent to camps or something like that. That's what I heard anyways
I Heard under the current regime only men harassment men or women harassing women would be looked at, or if you identified as an animal you could file a claim in Ark, Ky. an Tn.

I have no issue with this. Since the Me Too movement was weaponized, most accusations I've seen have been proven false. I assume the guy is innocent until proof is provided.
Caveat: I assume ot is BS until some proof is showh; however, the allegations should have been addressed immediately upon receipt of the complaint and a statement that an investigation, assuming both parties to get due process, was to be conducted.

THAT is the failure of the AD here!

A few thoughts. I was trained last year as a Title IX investigator for my institution. First, once the complaint was filed with the Title IX office at UF, it was out of the hands of Stricklin, so he couldn't investigate, discipline, or comment on the complaint. Title IX complaints are investigated at the institutional, not departmental, level. If Stricklin got involved it would have created a pretty strong conflict of interest. Second, one of the quirks of Title IX is that it only applies to activities that happen on campus or at campus events. So, if he was stalking students off campus, it is weird and creepy, but does not fall under Title IX -- depending on the complaint (which seems to have disappeared from the internet). It is possible that it was dismissed because it didn't fall under the rules. Third, a complaint that was filed on September 27 probably hasn't been investigated and adjudicated yet, especially at a place as large as UF. The investigation would probably take several weeks and then they'd have to schedule a hearing. It is possible, I suppose, to have the whole thing done in six weeks, but that would seem to be pretty fast. Or, they could have investigated and found that it wasn't true, so no hearing. But the whole thing goes into a confidential Title IX black box, so who knows. But having an attorney on your side is a good step for Golden.

Well, aren't you a stick in the mud!

So how do we take this information and turn it into something SS did wrong? :scratchchin:

By pointing out the likelihood that this isn't the first time, if true, that Golden has done this sort of thing and if SS had done his homework properly he would have discovered that the guy is trouble. But...as we have seen, vetting for success isn't tops on his list when searching for coaches. Womens' BB shows a trend IMO. Who knows what other time bombs are out there with SS tattoo on them?

Has it ever occurred to you that these sexual harassment allegations and lawsuits against Trump only started AFTER he decided to get into politics as a Republican circa late '15, early '16? With some of them, allegedly, going back decades? :facepalm:

Odd really. Almost as if they're fabricated.

Kinda like the subject of this entire thread.

Prior to this year, with the Gators expectations of grandeur, and including all other stops for Golden, how many people saw him as a threat to women?
None?
Yep, same here.

So in the first year of our BB team possibly being very good, this happens?

I hope this turns out to be false and he sues the pants off everybody.
[Edit: never mind, pants off would only get him into another sticky situation.]

You think this band of white boys is going to be pretty good?
Yes, sir. No doubt about it. Condon is a legit talent. Haugh is a utility guy with mad skills and energy. Richards and Clayton are just light-skinned enough that they fit the color scheme. And then don't forget, most importantly, our seven-foot nine secret weapon, largest White Boy in Basketball, the Colossal giant of roundball. They are, all of them, a credit to their race and skin-color and the game of basketball, which of course was stolen through cultural appropriation. Now add Martin, Aberdeen, Chenyelu, and Alexis to the mix and we qualify as a rainbow-coalition of kick-ass.

Watch this team play. You will enjoy.

Band of white boys? We pretty much play an 8 man rotation and only 2 of them are white boys. Or was that in reference to the guys riding the pine?
