Nikki Moody sues Bill Fennelly over Racial Discrimination...
- Thread starter Chipper
- Start date
I also noted in one spot they referred to Josh Carper and then referred to him as Josh Carpenter. The item that you pointed out and the one I pointed out point to this as being sloppy work by the Attorney (for reference see Better Call Saul and how HHM screwed up the Mesa Verde filing).
Silence means very little. A lot of people want to keep their life/family out of the spotlight.
I know JP came back early from the Pinstripe bowl to have a talk with BF (after Schroll left the program).
maybe she didn't want to sit out a year. or leave her friends. or her boyfriend. or her educational program.
there have been several players that "almost" transferred out of this program, but didn't for a variety of reasons, like being engaged to someone else at ISU, for example.
Again, more evidence that he's perhaps over-the-top in intensity (to put it nicely) but not doing things out of racial motivation.
This. I wish people would stop trying to read into every little detail. But then most don't have anything better to do.
Yep, pretty pathetic work, especially considering how serious these charges are. Nate Borland is a joke, don't know much about Brooke Timmer. Note to self: do not use Fiedler/Timmer for any future legal assistance!
So don't pay attention to those who don't agree with her. Shocking. Not saying anyone is right or wrong here, but I wouldn't give you're friend passing info along through others more credence than those willing to state something in a public manner with their names attached to it.

and what about the ones that have complained publicly that have had their letters to the press forcibly removed by ISU?
anyone have a copy of the Dennis and Judi Wieben letter? Or how about the letter written to CF by Jess's Parents?
I REALLY don't think Bill singled her out because of her race but reading that, damn, his approach to demeaning his players is pathetic. Some of the things the lawsuit claims he said are pretty bad.
I suspect there's a lot of truth in these two posts. There are a lot of good reasons for most "but why did...?" questions. Also, on the topic of silence, there may be former players who hated him at the time but have had their stance soften with time and perspective. Those types would almost certainly not care to get involved either way.
I do not know if the 2011 ESPN accusations were, or were not, valid. My guess is that you don't either. A previous poster had stated that s/he did not recall any previous allegations of discrimination related to Fennelly's program. The ESPN says differently.
If you teach at a university, you must certainly understand that rhetoric is not black and white. There is little doubt that "family and "family-oriented" are sometimes used as code words for discriminatory beliefs in contemporary social discourse. As the ESPN article suggests, at least one ISU recruit/player understood them in that way.

because saying something positive is so much easier than saying something negative and critical that could damage relationships, one player has already tweeted negatively.
I hear "Family" coming out of Coach Campbell's mouth almost everytime he speaks, so does that mean he's discriminating?
Interestingly, this comes on the heals of coach Yori leaving Nebraska under similar allegations. Copy'clone?
