What the Fark 3: The Strange and Unusual

This poor kid will be lucky to get through one year of college, if he goes that route.

If he's an athlete, he'll be fine at UNC.

I thought that happened at Wisco and Northwestern?

I kid, it happens everywhere. It happened at Stanford when I was there and at Duke when my friend was there, the two NC$$ beacons of academic "integrity." The factory system is such a crock they shouldn't even have the kids fake going to class.

It does happen everywhere, but the matter, sadly, comes down to the quantity and degree. The U of MN just suspended 10 football players last season regarding accusations of sexual assault/rape. The charges were dropped by local authorities, stating there wasn't enough evidence to move forward with a case against any of the players. The school laid down the suspensions after that, stating that while they may not have violated the law, the players did violate the school's code of conduct. Things have yet to fully play out in all of this, and four of the players have been re-instated, but it's simultaneously heartening and disheartening that the school acted this way. Heartening in the fact that they're willing to go to bat for this female student who is otherwise unknown, going up against 10 football players. It's disheartening in that the school needs only an accusation and questionable amounts of evidence for it to make the decision to suspend students, possibly injuring them for life. (Think about the Duke Lacrosse team here.)

Well, that's a new alibi.

And four of those players have had their suspensions overturned.

In other words, the University and thus the media drug them through the mud only to say "oops, I guess we were wrong. Good luck going about your normal life now."

That's not what happened at all, actually. The players who's suspensions were dropped were never accused of assaulting the victim.

They were associated with the incident, though, so that will sit there in the background for a long time.

Well, they WERE associated with it. Their names weren't just picked at random...

And then found innocent. The point is, their names are attached to it, despite (later on) having no unlawful (or moral, that we know of) association with the incident. They are tagged. And that's a shame.

FTR, to hell with the ones truly guilty of this incident. Legally cleared, maybe, but not morally.

What were they "found innocent" of?

Don't be dx with semantics.

They had no business being named in the whole situation in the first place.

It's a joke son, laugh. Like I did with the 92% comment you had. That was dam funny.

Re: What the Fark 3: The Strange and Unusual

That wasn't a joke. That was a factual statement with a joke thrown in at no one's expense.

What you did was a mean spirited unprovoked personal attack. So yeah, seems fairly appropriate.
