It sounds like it had nothing to do with the football program itself, but the accusations made against him by the other person involved. His mother had tweeted something on the lines of "GO HAWKS" last night. My guess would be instead of dealing with the stress and getting a bad rap for something he didn't do, he opted out. Talk about a distraction during football with eht media stay, and school work I don't blame him.
Once again all it takes is for someone to make a false accusation and your world is torn upside down, I've seen it with guys I know. Same as a false accusation of a battery domestic violence. The guys name is run through the mud, has attorney and court fees, while nothing happens to the female.
Sounds like the University had his back, but perhaps he didn't want to deal with it. Todays society is Guilty til proven Innocent, its sad but true.

Agree with everything but this. I think it should read: Sounds like the Athletic Dept. had his back
 
Listen if you don't believe me try this..... After consensual sex with your wife or girlfriend have her call the police and say you made her have sex with you and see what happens. Or better yet (will be cheaper in attorney fees for you down the road) have her call the police and say you yelled at her then shoved her. Or play a joke on your buddy and fill out a police report saying he stole something from you, so next time he gets pulled over or his plates ran it will show an arrest warrant. Any of the above mentioned will prove my point, and that my friends is why the system fails at times.
 
just keep in mind the accusation may or may not be false. if the DA doesn't want to pursue and the alleged victim doesn't want to participate then there is no case.

him wanting a fresh start either way would be understandable.

It's amazing how ridiculously easy it is for a woman to say whatever they want (true or not) and the police almost always overreact.

I'm not sure this is accurate. When they get a report of a possible crime, they are supposed to investigate. That's just the law. And thanks (and I sincerely mean thanks) to an increased awareness of the incidence and seriousness of sexual assault, that's pretty high at the top of their list.

I think the bigger culprit here is a university Code of Conduct that is likely much more friendly to the accuser than the accused. It can get messy, regardless of the outcome of any criminal investigation. It looks like Coker didn't want to stay and have his name dragged through the mud any more than it already had been. Perfectly understandable.
 
Your probably right but I have known some crazy women who have made up some pretty crazy things in my lifetime. They are the exception not the rule but I have always noticed that the don't usually give any benefit of the doubt to the males involved.
 
I agree. I wish the police took a more hand off approach to sexual assault these days.

Sincerely,

This guy.

1 out of 4 women are sexually assaulted during their lifetime. Sexual assault is a violent crime, and it is not an overreaction to have police respond in a serious manner.

Its amazing to watch so many of you walking into "blame the victim" territory, without knowing the full details of what happened.

Coker may very well be innocent, but none of us know exactly what happened. Lets just refrain from making baseless accusations about how the system is set up to unfairly punish men. If anything the opposite is true.
 
I, for one, agree with the notion that domestic abuse allegations frequently take the woman's side without even giving me a chance to explain why she made me do what I did.

Sincerely yours,

This guy.

You are absolutely correct. In my previous life as a reporter I covered cops and for a while had the police beat where you look at the call log, check the blotter, read cases of interest and visit daily with the info officer or the head dick assigned to the media. Almost daily they get reports of abuse that turn out to be unfounded or, at least, unprove-able (eg: jilted lover, unhappy girlfriend, vindictive ex-, new mother-to-be who can't get support from the Baby Papa). They can usually sort it out, but not always.
 
By all means I understand WHY sexual assaults and battery domestic violences are taken seriously, ok but herein lies the problem. Arrests are made to further prevent the other adverse party from causing more harm or possibly death to the victim, but alot of the time they base these arrests with very little proof. You CANNOT lump all cases as the same then sort it out in the end, by then the accused has accumulated attorney and court costs up the *** (not including bail).

You can ask anyone associated with law enforcement the detective bureaus that handle such cases is seriously under staffed, and are forced to make an arrest to CYA in most cases. The thing when false accusations are made and it is found out, there is nothing done to the lying party. No recourse for the accused to receive all the out of pocket expenses for the false arrest (unless civil suit, but really....) So really Ghost until it happens to you, a close friend, or family member it is really hard to understand I guess.

I for one support Coker and will until you can show me in court, without a doubt that the accusations did occur.

agreed.

just like the "10% of the population" (living a certain lifestyle) number thrown around as being fact. more propaganda.

unless they were getting their numbers from hn.com.......
 
By no means am I down playing the severity of the crime. But you are down playing the affect it can have on ones life that is falsely accused financially, mentally and physically as well.

I have to agree with that. These numbers just don't jive.

However, if anyone ever assaults my daughter, well, I hope that fool likes the taste of his own severed junk.
