I really hope this isn't the case.

I am pretty hopeful that it turned out to be bogus because universities never go from investigation to reinstatement, with full transparency, in only 5 days. There must've been a serious lack of evidence and gaping inconsistencies in the story.

With the current climate in the NCAA and the NFL about sexual assault and domestic violence, it seemed like things were handled swiftly and professionally.

I tend to agree. When it comes to sexual assault, I generally immediately assume the worst, but if Florida feels that they can resolve it that quickly they really must be comfortable enough to stand by it.

The facts of the Harris case didn't make sense to begin with, and felt fake to me. Winston definitely raped somebody, but I think with Harris she got cold feet after the fact or something. Lots of sorority types like to party and then start looking at things differently when they find out everybody on earth is going to know what they did.

Yeah people just bring rape charges all the time to avoid a little egg on their face. Those vapid sorority slores.

I think he's just saying that he hopes it wasn't swept under the rug or that she wasn't pressured into dropping the charges.

I was saying that the FSU story seemed to have facts to back it up even months later, while the Treon Harris investigation had "she said" vs "everyone else said," apparently. And that does lead to doubting the motives of the alleged victim.

Somebody mentioned the fact that Manziel's autograph investigation occurred during the offseason, while Gurley's is obviously going on during the season. On the surface that seems to be the only difference between the two.

I know, its sour grapes and all that. I have a feeling that because the broker is known, Gurley is going to have the book thrown at him. Again, he broke a (lovely) rule, but unless the broker produces evidence about paying cash money and Gurley doesn't cop to it, I don't know how they could justify a suspension longer than tomorrow with just he said she said.

Death to the Seahawks. Death to Seahawks posters.

there is an amazing reality show to be made in taking exchange students from various countries at SEC schools and teaching them the ins and outs of college football and the ncaa. when you explain the chain of events that leads to autographs and money causing criminal investigations and death threats and congressional action the look on their faces as they realize how deep the rabbit hole of american insanity goes would be incredible. and then you get to tell them how condaleezza rice fits into the picture

If I remember right, the Downtown Athletic Club just invites however many finalists they want to New York, not like a fixed top five. If Gurley's done it might be a small guest list this year. There's Bryce Petty, whichever QB wins the SEC West... I guess Winston again?

If Notre Dame goes undefeated or only loses to FSU, my guess is Everett Golson gets invited. In fact, I'd put money on it, barring injury or complete meltdown.

I'd say Winston will almost certainly not be invited back. He hasn't been even close to last year's level.

But new information has recently emerged, as part of The Times’s continuing examination of the case, indicating that it was Florida State’s athletic department that decided the allegation did not merit a university investigation.
