It's OK, just taking pre-emptive action here. I don't really know anything about this beyond the Chronicle article, but it's a subject that should probably be treated with more gravity than what are Gonzaga's chances at a #1 seed, etc. etc.sorry GPJ
I doubt much will come of it here in the FFA, but it's good to have it in it's own thread for updates. This crap sickens me. I wasn't a big fan of the way Michigan handled their situation that was similar to this (talked about it in the Michigan Football thread), and I don't like the way Duke's handling this (if what we are reading is accurate of course).It's OK, just taking pre-emptive action here.

Whoa nelly. Chill. Seriously.
The school should do what is legally required of them when these allegations are brought up and follow the Title IX guidelines. Coach K doesn't know what he should be investigating - that's why he (or others in the AD) need to refer them to the appropriate people. If that wasn't done, it's a big problem regardless of whether it turned out to be true or not.
I wonder if the lacrosse scandal at Duke a few years ago affected how the Duke student body reacted here.
You don't have your Archer glasses on.....I'd suggest, you just let him go and don't talk directly to him. It's much more enjoyable that way, but you're right. Everything has had a lot of "ifs" in front of the statements. Most know the deal...just a few don't. They're the most special.
Lots of folks made the same sort of comments during the Michigan football case as well. Personally, I'd want them off the team, but I get why they may want to keep him on the team. There is absolutely no justification for letting him to continue playing though.
Not so sure about that either. Allegations aren't proof. Especially with the recent spate of false claims on various campuses, I wouldn't necessarily want to react too hastily. Might have been best to be open about it, though. "These are the allegations. We're investigating them very seriously, but until such time as there is more concrete information, Rasheed will remain a valued member of the team. Etc. Etc. Etc."
Well to begin with, K is going to have to explain why he let Suliamon go when he did rather than in March of last year. Easy enough to come up with an explanation most likely, just fabricate some other problem, but he's still gonna have to get in front of the press and do it. And then he's going to have to answer questions as to why whatever happened in January was bad enough to dismiss him but the allegations and whatever he discovered when looked into them was not ...or even worse, he'll have to explain why he didn't look into them or demand that someone else at the school/athletic program didn't look into them.
My daughter goes to Duke and knows a few on the inside of this. Most of what I am reporting is very well known on campus. I'm just amazed it took a full month to come out. I've heard more, but I won't speculate for now.
No, he probably shouldn't. He could acknowledge that there is an ongoing investigation, however.
Other than saying an issue's been brought to his attention and it's being investigated, no. He doesn't need to say more than that though.
It is an anonymous message board, we are amongst friends (and Archer), speculate away please...
That weird - I thought you and Jah and Sheed were best buds, and that you knew all the inner workings of the club...
I'd like a lot more information on this.

He didn't really kick him off immediately. He waited ten months, for reasons that he is now going to have to explain. It's certainly not a good look, probably worse than if he was still on the roster IMO because he can't use the "innocent until proven guilty" position and will have to invent some other reason why he removed him on a seemingly random day in January after giving him minutes the day before.
Can the cool ones stand up? Maybe because they aren't tools I don't notice their affiliation. Plus hardly been in the ACC thread this year with all the personal #### going on.
oso diablo is one of the best posters here regardless of topic.
tdoss, tlef316 and oso diablo are all pretty good guys (or present themselves that way here
)
That's right. Ok, maybe I will recind my comments - except those Dukies that are unbearable do seem to bring it like no other fan base I know. Of course, living on Long Island seems to bring about more of the Arch-type and less of those who definitely seem cool and balanced.tdoss, tlef316 and oso diablo are all pretty good guys (or present themselves that way here
