In this day and age how the hell do coaches expect to get away with this sort of behavior. I am amazed.

The football team was 1-11 and the baseball team was 10-40. I wonder if they would have been fired if they were 11–1 and 40-10.

In these cases I always start out with the reality that 96% of college admins are ankle-grabbing twinks who collapse easily. Even at RU remember how Mulchay had his stripes ripped-off and his sword broken as he was kicked out of the fort over 2008 media ambush (Schiano also targeted).

Lots of smart NW fans aren't buying these scandal eruptions and think the NW will pay for recent actions

Remember Rutger's "bullying " swim coach

I mean…. It was the freshmen football players at NW who were forced to strip naked and grab their ankles.

I don't know and I just ignore these stories when they first come out.
People make stuff up all the time for many reasons (settlements, getting rid of a coach etc). Tawana Brawley, Duke Lax, Navy football rape - all kinds of stuff turns-up false. I never believed Cosby was guilty. Porn ****** accuse politicians. Lots of bad/unstable people out there

Big time athletics departments do NOT have this going on. This is small minded people running, or ruining, athletic departments. WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE DOING!?

U don't think Cosby did it?
Yikes

You have a point except for that one.

People don't know how toxic and screwed-up Cosby's case was.
He might not have been a saint (or "America's Dad") but much of the prosecution was politically motivated and legally corrupt.

A civil settlement 10 years old was resuscitated criminally by connivers and many proven sketchy witnesses heaped-on (five of the accusers were known as serial accusers). Most of the accusers were old, washed-up minor celebs making "charges" well beyond limitation criteria.

If interested a good description of the case is made by lawyer Robert Barnes 37 minutes into this vid

I'm a big fan of Robert Barnes. Viva as well. Both very fairly lay out both sides of most issues. Carry water for nobody. Many here would do well to check them out.
I'll give the video a watch.

Viva and Barnes and Baris (pollster) and Barnes and Col. Macgregor are my only "can't miss" podcasts.
They are smart and honest but they know people inside the issues

Watched the podcast about Cosby. The guys laid out how his rights were violated and all the prosecutorial misconduct in his case. Vacating his conviction is the correct punishment for all the wrongdoing.

That said, nowhere in there did they say he's not a creepy SCUMBAG who did the things he was accused of. So I stand by my opinion of him.

The reason I like Barnes (and many others) is because he will defend the rights of people he despises because the Constitution applies to everyone. A lesson for everybody cheering the weaponization of the law because it's aimed at those you disagree with. When the shoe is on the other foot he (and I) will be defending your rights. This is not an us/them issue. Too many useful idiots these days going along with this nonsense.
