Don't overreact to 2 bad apples. Frost suspended them. It sounds like the problem is with the department who is suppose to complete the investigations.

The lawsuit mentions issues dating back to 2015 so it would extend beyond Frost. Also, from everything that I've seen so far the only time the football program is mentioned is because of the two players who Frost dismissed. It doesn't appear to be a pervasive football thing like Baylor where the football program covered it up. This lawsuit seems to be directed more at the Title IX office and the NCAA's failures in that area.

I wonder how much influence or connection boosters have with the title IX office? Who pays their salaries? I’m assuming it’s the university, but I don’t know.
I have no knowledge that there is any connection between boosters and compliance monitors. Too many movies I guess.

No no no, those are university staff positions. That would be a huge scandal if an athletic booster was funneling money to the Title IX office!
Might make a good movie though. I’d watch.

I feel like Gene Hackman Or Jeff Bridges would be in it.
and I meant booster influence- not necessary money. Like “ Karen, cover this up or we take your parking spot” kind of stuff.

It is though. There are women out there who probably think it's funny to. They and you have/had every right to speak to the proper authorities about it, and also have the right to choose not to because it doesn't bother them.
That doesn't mean it's not sexual assault on the part of the person doing the grabbing, and people should probably assume it's not okay to grab random people's asses.

I don't want to give people passes, but the 3 bad kids we had were because of the late arrival of Frost IMO. With losing so many players we had to fill a class and took chances on kids mainly academically, slightly possible trouble. We have already lost 12 players from that class, some never made it to campus. TWELVE! Never were able to build any relationships. As I said before, we basically didn't start anything until 2019...It's gonna take time.

I think it is important to understand these are unwanted grabs rooted in control. Think of a nasty male trucker proudly grabbing your butt at your kids' T-Ball game daring you to "do something about it." Understand that you are some 100 pounds smaller than he is. Now chew on that feeling for a few minutes.

I fail to see how this is a problem of Frost's culture. When he found out about it, he dismissed the players. Do you have knowledge that Frost knew these players would do such a thing? Do you know that he welcomed them to campus knowing they would do such a thing and turned a blind eye?

Do you think there's any chance that Frost and some staff sat down and asked the question, "Are these guys worth it? You think they'll stay out of trouble? Are they safe?"
