Who are the players and when did this allegedly happen?

If in the current climate what the article is saying is true, UNL is a huge f#&%ing failure. I truly don't know how you can be this stupid, now of all times.

I assume the 2 guys who got booted last fall are the ones accused of multiple rapes (if I read that correctly), and it was Adrian who was rumored to have impregnated the volleyball player.

 

There's also some older stuff but these 3 were under Frost/Moos. I hope Frost was not involved in any of this.

The women reported the incident to UNL’s Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance, the office responsible for investigating instances of sexual misconduct and harassment under Title IX, but the lawsuit states no investigation was initiated as is required by law.

 

Davis later told an instructor at UNL about the alleged assaults, and the employee reported the incident to the Title IX office, but still no investigation was started.

 

<snip> 

 

One unnamed student, who reported being sexual assaulted by a Husker player, said she was reluctant to move forward with a Title IX investigation after learning the office sent another female student’s confidential information to an involved student with the same first name but a different last name.  

 

 

 

Wow, just wow.  Incompetence at every turn.   Here we go.

This is a lawsuit against the NCAA...is there also a corresponding lawsuit against UNL? If these allegations are true, why would there not be?

 

If the allegations of wrongdoing by UNL are not true, UNL should be able to easily disprove them, because any Title IX reports should be well documented, even if (especially if) no action was taken. The steps to take, even if no other reason than to check the boxes and avoid lawsuits, are so well known by major universities at this point that it is completely baffling that any of this stuff would happen. So if these allegations are true....well, f&#k.

 

But if complaints were made, there should be ample evidence to show how they were or weren't handled.

Yeah, this is the federal case against the ncaa.  I'm sure you're right that there will be a civil suit brought against UNL.  So we have that to look forward to.

This sort of mistake is remarkably easy to do with any email system thanks to auto-fill and the fact that the whole university directory is going to pop up...but it is remarkably easy to avoid if you pay attention to minor details for f&#k sakes.

This needs to be looked into and investigated heavily.  It also needs to be reported precisely what happened.  A)  If UNL did everything the way they were supposed to, they need to report that and let the public know so we all can be comfortable that UNL is doing the right thing.  B)  If they didn't, it needs to be reported so that the appropriate people at UNL are appropriately reprimanded.

 

I am confused about something and I'm interested in learning more.  Hunt and Lagrone were kicked off the team and banned from campus.  If there were no investigations into the allegations, how did UNL come to the point where they took these actions?

 

It's also going to be interesting to see if any current FB players are involved in the alleged incidents. (Martinez)
