I guess it depends on what you believe...

Do you think any of the players making complaints had the intention of seeing EE fired? Or not. Knowing human nature, I think some of them did. Not all, but some. And the Unity Council letter said the same thing. I believe what they said. You may disagree. And I think those players and their parents could certainly press their cases should EE be retained.

I respect your support for the program, and the thoughtful responses and opinions you have expressed here. I just couldn't disagree with you more. If EE returns, it does not mean the allegations were "minor/non-existent", or that the university thinks they were. It means the allegations and the findings of fact did not rise to a firing situation. Period. There could be significant concerns about EEs past behavior, but the powers that be could conclude that it does not rise to a firing offense level, and could conclude that EE has already made changes and will continue to make changes and deserves to continue here. It is sad how many people seem to look at this as a simple black and white situation, and not understand that very little in life is black and white, good and bad, and most everything in life is shades of grey.

And please stop with this horrible vitriol crap against Lowary and Finucane. I've seen absolutely nothing of the sort against Tori. Absolutely nothing. You are just making that up. And the 'vitriol' with Lowary is maybe 2-3 people. Out of everyone here.
