Probably, which is unfortunate. Maybe it's like the time fulmer met some people at Denny's.

Your statement is full of insinuations. Fulmer met the accuser's friend who was at the dorm that night and her mom to get a better understanding of what went on. He was trying to avoid another Nilo Silvan type incident and avoid ruining an innocent person's life and career for false accusations. Turns out he was right as the charges were proven false. Here are two articles about the situation. Let's not rewrite history davethevol:

SI.com - College Football - Tennessee CB identified in rape of 16-year-old girl - Friday June 13, 2003 09:47 PM

SI.com - College Football - Vols DB Stewart won't be charged in rape case - Wednesday July 30, 2003 05:40 PM

I'm sorry, but that is incredibly shady.

I agree it's odd to meet with the friend but again I remember the Nilo Silvan incident and that ruined his future pro career. His rape case was later thrown out of court. I'm willing to give Fulmer the benefit of the doubt because he must have felt horrible about what happened to Silvan and didn't want to jump to any conclusions. If you just consider the incidents separately it's really odd but when you know the previous incident, it doesn't seem so odd to me.
I also remember when Marcus Dixon was jailed for a year for rape and missed going to Vandy on a Scholarship. That case was later overturned because they decided the girl was white and embarrassed what her friends would think so she cried rape. Dixon spent over a year in jail. Nobody wants rapists on their team, but unfortunately there have been many false accusations too and that can destroy the accused for life.

Incredible that more than a week has gone by and no names have leaked. When will the details come out?

I don't know which person I despise more, the rapist or those that cry rape on the innocent. Both are disgusting humans to me

i bet vandy is trying to let keep this under wraps till at least media days is over

I think trying to keep it under wraps till after media days is a bad idea. It's just going to make the press try to hammer them that much harder over it while they have direct access to them at media days.

Tennessee law does not protect media "sources"...that and Vandy being a private institution is why the names are not being released. If any member of the media released names their sources would be subject to recall by the courts. No member of the media wants to go to jail to protect his source and no source wants to be dragged into court proceedings. Until charges are formally made, we won't "officially" find out anything.

James Franklin smells like kimchi. I think we finally got to the bottom of the quote's original intent.

My mom brought homemade kimchi from this lady in a jar once and opened it. The whole house smelled so bad she made me take it to the woods and throw it out. Sorry a memory from 1980 I can still smell it. Or is that Franklin that smells?

So a private school doesn't have to release information?

This is definitely understandable, but the fact that nobody is finding out who the 4 players are that were dismissed from the team is quite surprising. Regardless of whether they were involved or not, 4 players of the Vanderbilt football team were dismissed and nothing is being said.

Unless nobody knows because nobody was actually dismissed.
