  • The best among us have feet of clay. It's too bad somebody decided the laundry had to be aired this long after the fact. I appreciate the media giving us the news we need, but I'm not sure anybody needed this, and I don't consider it news. I consider it in poor taste, and I've spent a career in the media. Sometimes the media just screws the pooch. Major's already paid his due penance and some snoopdog digging around for it is like digging up a grave -- a grotesque curiosity.

  • Oh for crying out loud !! "He without sin cast the first stone." I know let's bring back the inquistion in the form of the Board of Regents.
    I'd rather go to war with a bunch of sinners than a group of holier than thou, santimonius saints. I am proud of Applewhite stepping up to the plate and taking responsibility for his actions enough said...move forward.

  • Any thoughts on what BOR might do based on setting a precedent, pending lawsuits and other firings of staff related to similar things? Will they feel they have to do something to be PC in the Public Eyes? Does this get Dodds in trouble for not reporting it up the ladder? If it was not part of the reporting process back in 2009, then why should the BOR review it now? If it was, then DD may be next to get a reprimand.

    I suspect someone either threatened to go public with it before NSD or was already doing so. Hence, the pre-emptive strike/full disclosure.

  • I have looked at the legal implications of the Kearney matter closely as an attorney who has tried and continues to handle a number of employment-related cases. I am not an attorney in that matter just to make things clear.

    Ms. Kearney was involved in a sustained relationship with a student-athlete over whom she had supervision. Obviously we have almost no facts on the student involved in Major's situation, but as an assistant coach on an all-male football team, my hopeful guess is that it was not a student-athlete in his program.

    If University employees having relations with adult University students not under their supervision is a hanging offense, every department and administrative office on campus is going to be awfully empty.

    Timing was terrible given Major's role as a great recruiter.

    I agree with BEHorn about Major having gotten out in front of the matter in 2009.

    +1. IMO, one of the larger issues to watch here is the timing of when the BOR was first alerted to the situation given the issues with Cleve and Bev. That's a potentially big problem for DD (and possibly BP) if the BOR wasn't aware of Major's indiscretion when they were being updated/consulted about the Cleve and Bev situations. Regardless of whether the BOR is involved in ultimately making personnel decisions, failure to keep a governing body informed of incidents like Major's will often get you canned in a hurry.

  • That BOR statement and agenda smells of trouble for Deloss.

  • This should be a non-story. 4 years ago and dealt with already. This is just stupid to be getting the coverage it's gotten in national outlets.

  • If it was a consensual then who cares. This should be between major and his wife. How does this affect his performance as an offensive coordinator?

    Combined with everything else it paints a picture that our athletic department condones a culture of sexual misconduct. And if I were Kearney I would be suing as well.
