Why is the RK being shared with the University? Seems like that sort of sensitive medical information should be under seal in the court file.

The defense has a right to the evidence. And if it helps get his client back in school, why wouldn't he share the new evidence, or lack there of, with the school?

This is good stuff, but it leaves out two things. First, we need to know who replaces Smith, and what they are worth. If we will always have Smith or Von on the field (if both are healthy) and if they would have split time roughly 50/50, then Smith replaces Von for the top 50, and someone else (RDA4, Johnson, etc) replaces Smith for the bottom 50. Now, if they are worth .5-1 ppg, for example, then Von's absence costs us 1.0-2.2 PPG.

The second thing we need to know is how much Von affected other wide receivers. Did he draw a safety? Did he get the best or 2nd best corner? Would our other WRs have done better with Von on the field than with him off of it? And, if so, how much does that affect their PPG?

Edit: It also leaves out a third, and perhaps most significant question: how much could we have expected Von to improve? He definitely passed the eyeball test, and looked very good. But, he wasn't completely healthy, and it was his first year with our team. Would he have made the leap this year? Would his performance have dwarfed his numbers last year?

Yah, Turambar, you're right on all counts. I did the first-order measurement, but there are second- and even third-order effects that would have to be taken into account for a more precise measure of Von's complete productivity. At the end, it becomes too complex even to calculate (how can you measure relationships and the effect of esprit de corps?).

I just did 1st-order and stopped at that because: lazy. :)

Bingo...I'm afraid the entire process will just end up being drawn out so long to the point that Von will not be eligible for this year anyway. I have lost all hope and credibility with the timing of the due process.

He's got exactly 2 weeks until fall classes start. I would imagine he would have to be enrolled before the start of classes to be eligible this year. If the university is sitting on evidence that exonerates him, and they prevent him from enrolling, he could and should sue.

That's why I never commented. I appreciated your effort but there really is more to consider:rock:

Personally, I would in triplicate. However, it's not necessary for Catbone because he is a cat, and cats don't speak English.

With a negative rape kit, can you still have a sexual battery case?

I am afraid UT might be in a double jeopardy situation here. They could get sued by the player if not allowed to play and hit up for an EEOC infraction and significant fines if he is allowed to play.

There has to be more information here that is not being discussed. I wonder if there was some kind of intermediary that was involved that could implicate either the university or athletic department. That would make for a very tense situation all around.

I highly doubt the UT administration or Butch would be comfortable in letting Von enroll and back on the team if his name wasn't completely cleared of all wrongdoing, for fear of the potential backlash. I would say that the lengthy suspension reflects on our institutions character to cooperate. If what Hyams is reporting is true, it seems all that is left to wait for is the findings to be reviewed by school administration. Unfortunately, it is still just speculation at this point. Fingers crossed.

Thanks. What should be so complicated for the school to make a decision?
