Bernie Fine fired by Syracuse amid molestation allegations - ESPN

Uh oh. Has Boeheim disavowed him yet? Saw where he said he would give Fine the benefit of the doubt.

The evidence was piling up against Fine. This was inevitable.

I cannot stomach many more of these type stories. Hope that there are no more.

These people are disgusting. It's like some super grotesque version of the Jerry Springer show made it to college campuses.

So, did or didn't Boeheim walk by and see Davis and Fine on Fine's bed in a hotel room?

How long did ESPN have that phone recording?

Every news outlet wants to he the first to break a story, doubt they sat on it.

It is possible that they had this tape back in 2003 when they decided not to air an OTL segment on Fine and child molestation. I am not saying they did have it; I am saying it is a possibility.

I don't want to think of the repercussions of this possibility. Are you pondering or is there info to support such a thing?

 

[GahLee]

8 years, wow. Hard to believe they actually sat on the tape.

ESPN was planning to run an OTL segment on Fine; according to ESPN, though, "the other victims would not speak". If there were no other known victims, that statement would be unnecessary at best and incredibly misleading.

ESPN has no credibility in this. They possessed a tape purported to incriminate Fine in 2003 and failed to turn it into the police. The people at ESPN should reap what was given to Paterno.

SPORTSbyBROOKS Why Didn’t ESPN Give Fine Tape To Authorities?

This might explain the lack of outrage from ESPN toward Boeheim in all of this.

I'll admit, it looked like a money play when this first came out. The two guys making claims sounded sketchy to me and their timing was suspect. If Cuse is clipping this guy based on suspicion and unwanted media speculation, I get that. Let's see how this goes. If he's guilty, this is another sad chapter for college athletics at Syracuse.

 

[TXA&M07]

WTF is wrong with Mrs. Fine? That tape is effing nuts.

Holy crap.

This was going to happen sooner or later...better to go ahead and have it out of the way. All the stories like the Sandusky scandal and this one are breaking my heart. Things have gotten way out of hand.
