    Re: yikes...

    The Shannon thing seems extremely unfair on the surface as nothing reported to the public sounded as if there was any misconduct. But the thing that nags me about it is that a committee of 5 people determined there was misconduct (or at least 3 of 5 did). Contrary to what has been posted here, none of those 5 was Boren. But as Kanto says, that's the problem with using title IX as a system of justice made worse by sealed documents. It could well be that the committee has information that we don't, but any process like this has to be transparent to be fair.

    Yeah well I understand the rules are rules but it is absolutely asinine in my opinion to take away what could be one of the most important years in this young man's life for something that was not proven, and the alleged victim did not even want to press charges herself. Also the fact there was no actual sex involved. Freaking johnny the jackass can illegally sign and sell helmets WITH pictures and gets a half against Rice taken away. It just disgusts me.

    I think this or another like it will find it's way to the US Supreme Court. There are real Constitutional issues with this whole process.

    What's going on here is pure mob psychology. Don't mistake me: violence against anyone is not acceptable (subject to certain exceptions of which self defense would be a pretty non-controversial example), domestic violence is also unacceptable and should bear enhanced penalties, and sexual violence is over in a class by itself. But they are all acts that should be judged and adjudicated by the police, prosecutors and courts.

    To me, applying Title IX to a sexual battery case is absurd. The 'crime' is so far beyond anything Title IX was legitimately intended to address that it's a mockery.

    And, likewise, using non-judicial proceedings to attempt to appease those dissatisfied by the decisions of the court system is not only a dangerous precedent to set but outright morally wrong.

    That the public is an *** may well come to characterize this whole affair better than we fear now. I just hope that the University holds firm and doesn't give in to the loud and the, so conveniently, outraged.

    Re: yikes...

    just curious, but I wonder what her feelings were when Pinkel was arrested for DUI?

    Did she do an op-ed, then, cuz if she did, I missed it....and a DUI is just as bad of a transgression, easily.
    on Big Tex burning....They mentioned this on College Football Live. Pollack asked if it represented the Texas defense. Herbie told him it represented the Texas bandwagon.

    Claire McCaskill is a meddling old biddy and has some kind of axe to grind about Oklahoma. Last week she was running her mouth about a police department in Oklahoma and how "militarized" they were. Come to find out all her facts and figures were wrong and she got called out on it. Such a doofus!

    I guess she wasn't watching the riots in Ferguson.
