Maybe I'm missing something but it sounds to me like Callaway's lawyer is putting the alleged victim's lawyer in their place.

I guess I'm just over this title 9 money grab bs I see going on. I don't care what school it's at.

She complained to the school. A player apologized and left. The other had a florida booster selected as judge. The judge selection caused the accuser to not attend due to a feeling of bias. Accusers lawyer states why she didn't attend along with other witnesses. Accused attorney doesn't even mention the judge selection but rather misdirects by blowing smoke up the innocent rhetoric and indirectly besmirching the accused but stating he's not going to...but he did.

Smells bad. Real bad. UF is getting sued.

If this case was happening at UT right now people would be applauding the athlete's lawyer for taking the gloves off with a statement like this...

If releasing info would benefit their client, you'd better believe they'd be making it available. Pure posturing.

UT also didn't hire a booster to hear the cases. worst thing UT did was say "get a lawyer".

Agreed. It actually looks like Florida is setting themselves up for a Title 9 lawsuit by appointing the booster to hear the admin case against a football player.

I think the point is that it was extremely inappropriate for UF to appoint a booster to hear a case involving a football player. The evidence and facts of the case are irrelevant to that point. Callaway could be completely innocent, but them appointing a booster to hear the case would still scream institutional corruption. It basically looks like UF is stacking the judicial deck in favor of a star football player, so that he can stay eligible and continue to play football. At least that is my reaction.

Yeah, I think the concern here is about appearances. If the documents are truly as exculpatory as the defense believes, who the judge is shouldn't matter -- so why go in the direction of appointing a booster?

Butch Jones is 3-13 vs the top 25 and 0-9 vs the top 10.

Sobering stats.

But that is about to change in a big way.

Meaningless stats. He didn't have the talent to compete until last year. And we were 2-2; 0-1. I don't count the first two years (especially the first year where we faced 6 or 7 ranked teams with a team full of walkons).

Articles in which people throw these stats around don't take into account the monumental rebuild that has been happening on Rocky Top.

If we lose every game against top 25 opponents this year, then I'll listen to these stats.

People (and attorneys) take their gloves off all the time, and you find that they have a weak punch. Posturing.

Edit: LAVol beat me to it and I hadn't read his post yet. He must be an attorney. We see these type things a mile away.

You tell 'em Al Bundy! How's Polk High looking this year?

If you were in fact Shy Tuttle, then I could see that sort of thinkin. But, assuming you're not Shy, the apparent glee you took in describing someone's leg breaking, someone you and all your serious football have never played against, is rather disturbing.

Exactly why I said the players who will be on the field will be looking to get him. And I bet at least one of them will get a thrill out of it themselves. Thanks for proving my point.

Eh, "bold predictions" articles are like that line in As Good as It Gets when Jack Nicholson remarks how he apparently writes certain characters so well:

You picture regular predictions, and take away reason and accountability.
