Lawsuit - coaches, Barta, and Doyle dismissed
- Thread starter spliff45
- Start date
Well well well what do ya know.... Only thing I'm surprised about this is that it wasn't a Friday afternoon news dump sort of thing. For as big of a deal as the media and folks made all this out to be when it got going I sure hope they do right by correcting the record.
And if I bet Doyle is going to have a meeting with his Lawyer asap to see about going after the school for how they dismissed him. Painted him as the scapegoat.
I hope the media reports on this this with the same fervor that they did when it first started. Some have some crow to eat and I hope they do

If the dismissal was with prejudice, then they got something out of the coaches. We probably won't know what, but there is no reason to let the coaches walk for nothing. All of them have money. My guess is that they squeezed some money or some level of cooperation and now, as Fry said, they are focused on who can write seven figure checks.

Then
Then they got nothing from the coaches. Fry's take is still correct. They are clearing the underbrush and focusing on the deep pockets.

Back when I was a kid people would ask hypotheticals like "If every other person jumped off a bridge would you do it as well?" I always answered with long winded rhetoric like "well, it depends. If we were walking across a railroad track bridge and a train was coming, a case could be made for jumping..."
Anyway, based on my observations over the past 3 years, ahh hell, 2 years and 50 weeks, I can definitively say that most people would jump right the hell off that bridge. And not only would they jump, they'd call the people who didn't jump idiots until they expended their last breath when they hit the ground or river underneath the bridge.

I would guess the university just wants this to go away and not go to court. If it costs them several million to settle that's what they are doing.
I'll be interested to see how much each of the 7 players get to put in their pockets when it's all said and done. There will be the lawyer's fees, they all want their money, right? What kind of payment would make Akrum Wadley happey since his pro football career didn't pan out? Would a million dollars do it?

I get what you are saying, no way are they going to go down that route as it would look horrible in the public's eyes and keep the discussion of the topic going. They will just want it to go away quietly.

No, no it wouldn't. Bruce Springsteen produced one of my favorite songs ever, Glory Days. The beginning of the song is about a talented baseball player who was desperately longing for his glory days. I think that with societal changes we've seen in the past couple of decades the kids who think they're gonna make it "to the next level" and fail have even bigger mental health problems than society at large. I've heard too many stories from too many parents to think otherwise. These kids who get told they are the shit from the time they're 8 become completely destroyed when they cease to be the big man on campus anymore. It's really disgusting what sports emphasis is doing to some of these youngsters.
Some of them become unable to function in society. Some turn to drugs. Some turn to crime. Some take their lives. Some lash out at others who they believe are responsible for their downfall.
There is a decent chance that in Akrum Wadley's mind the only reason he's not the second coming of Barry Sanders or Adrian Peterson is because he was wronged by his previous coaches. If only they had been more supportive while simultaneously driving him to work harder while simultaneously making him an inch taller and shaving two tenths off his 40 time then by God he could have made it. When you're all conference and get a P5 offer and put up solid numbers for a few years it is clear you are destined for NFL greatness and if it doesn't come, it is someone else's fault. It couldn't possibly be his.
I seriously pray for these kids who get spit out by the sports meatgrinder. It really has to be tough.

You sure as hell can if you’re a member of a protected class and you can show that you were being treated differently than everyone else.
Hell I half forgot that Meyer hired Doyle for 5 mins. He was lucky as hell to just not even really be a part of all that mess anyway
