He was labeled a negavol by some VN posters for saying that CDD wasn't as nurturing as he should be to his players. It was then, with great fanfare and verbosity, announced to the board and the general public via a notice in The News Sentinel that he had been placed on ignore by ImportedVol. IV's public rebuke of him made his sins known to the coaching staff who brought down the hammer for his egregious and dare I say sacrilegious behavior.
I am a firm believer that the justice system becomes a mockery when it is unevenly enforced. If (and that is a big IF) Clear actually did the things that are being speculated, then there should be no quarter given. Everyone says that "these are just kids" and that enforcing the law will ruin them. Sadly, not enforcing the law will teach many more that there are no repercussions for wrong doing.
But, beyond an arrest all is speculation at this point. I have also learned that the government cannot always be trusted to come to the correct conclusions. Far too often (any time more than once, is far too often) the government at every level, will rush to indict the most visible person that they can in an effort to seem efficient at enforcing the law.
DISCLAIMER: I am not saying this happens even the majority of the time, but it happens enough that it should raise some critical attention and has taught me not to rush to judgement. The framers of the constitution were really smarter than most give them credit for.
I'm not reading through this entire thread of posts with one word responses, but will say that if Cam Clear is still on the team by the end of the week, then Dooley's more desperate than I thought. He should be kicked off if the charges prove true.
OK, final update on this. Nothing to do with a previous alleged theft, although this could bring those allegations back to life. Cam Clear's arrest was on a new charge, on a laptop reported stolen last week from Gibbs Hall by a student-athlete in a sport other than football.
He was caught with the laptop in his hands on Tuesday after he used it to access the campus network. Since the laptop was registered with OIT at UT, a notice popped up because it had been reported as stolen. OIT called it in, UTPD responded to the area where the computer was logged on to the campus wireless network, and he was arrested with the computer in his hands.
Possession of stolen property is a crime. Even with believable stories, cases are closed with convictions. Unbelievable stories tend to increase the sentence.
