No but maybe this is being blown way out of proportion by those wanting it to be true. I admit the tweet was odd but if Stoops takes the field tonight then that should be a clue this is just so much folderol. Or maybe it's true, just doubt anything that comes off UT's board.

Cal was cleared by the NCAA, Davis was cleared by the NCAA. Looks the same to me.
If he is going to be fired, then what's the wait? If it is that bad, why not now?
Yes, when he was still at Memphis. And, as YOU KNOW, he has said many times that he was wrong. And that is why he is leery of doing that again to some other coach.
And again, YOU already know this.
Don't think I've ever seen a fan base hope a scandalous rumor is true before now.
That's my point. There are numerous rumors. Which ones are true? And again, why an investigation if they are already known to be true?

I assume Mark Stoops. Unless the alleged girl has MS. Someone send a cryptic tweet about donating to charity and get that rumor going too.
Don't know if it's true or not....and I've been around long enough to know anything is possible (bad) when it comes to UK football. But does anybody else find it funny that if we back up 4 years and replace "co-Ed" with "local sports reporter" we end up having the exact same rumor at about the exact same time of year with Joker?
BCG was pretty bad...........and they didnt fire him until the season was over...
Same fan base hoping their team loses.
The former Ark HC situation is a somewhat bizarre slant on a common pitfall..... A more common scenario is if boss/supervisor/person in power is pressuring a woman who is already employed by the organization for "extra attention." Especially problematic at BBN if this hypothetical woman happened to also work in the FB staff or athletic offices. At that point the "holding my job hostage" accusations become career altering or worse.
The "numerous tumors" (Mitch & Stoops) need to be surgically removed.
It's an extremely personal and sensitive situation.
Better have your ducks in a row if you start accusing.
As I stated above I think they'll give him an opportunity to resign before it gets really ugly.

They aren't the same. Davis might have been cleared but that was a dirty program. They didn't get caught for half the things they did. What Cal got in trouble for was over things he had no control over. The Rose situation in particular. It's still not clear that Rose cheated. Even if he did he wasn't at Memphis at the time. He really wasn't even committed. All Cal did in the Rose case was to play a player that the NCAA had given it's blessing to and then later retracted after the season was over. Davis was far more at fault than that. Even if he didn't participate in the cheating, which I doubt, he did have control over the players that were involved. Cal had no guardianship over Rose at all when he took the test.
That isn't the problem. The problem is that A word that people keep saying. Assistant.
kyrivals confirmed the rumors in the other thread. hes a former player and has been pretty credible on this forum.
You can say Davis was far more at fault, but the NCAA doesn't agree with you. They said he had nothing to do with it and that's all that matters.
I personally think you guys have done a very good job. Fans have been allowed to rant and vent pretty freely IMO. I think you have improved the site and content.
Employer/employee relationship. If one party works for the other, it is perceived that the employer is/or could use the power of continued employment over the employee. Improper (in some cases prohibited) behavior suitable for firing in most organizations over the past 25 years.
Well, playing the devils advocate here, she could say she felt like if she didnt do what he wanted, he could get her fired. As bad as that sounds, it happens pretty often when the shiat hits the fan
Because if you are in a position of power over the other person it can be considered sexual harassment and she could sue the pants off of UK. I go thru this every year when HR does sexual harassment refresher class.
You understand that Stoops is very much a supervisor right Merri? That is considered a boss...
How do you know for sure it's true? That's a big statement unless you have something concrete to back it up.
Interesting question: IF this is true, do you think UK would allow him to resign/fire him had he actually turned the program around and had UK on the way to respectability?
Just curious.
Just curious.
100% agree. University policies must be adhered to by all University employees. Stoops is an employee and a supervisor of other employees.
