Nikki Moody sues Bill Fennelly over Racial Discrimination...

[cyclonedave25]

The University's statement is angry

Yes, especially the last point.
When they said "takes issue with the allegations and looks forward to responding in full" leads me to believe that they won't be settling and they are confident they can win.

Brynn Williamson's mom wasn't exactly endorsing Fennelly in her comments to the Tribune. Can't link, but it will be interesting to see what, if anything, Brynn publicly states about the matter.

Reputation is on the line, should be ******.

With Bill and Jamie both "under attack", I would have expected nothing less.

I don't think it reads aggressively. I think it reads in a way that nothing stated can be misconstrued and or disputed.

I don't mean that in a bad way. It reads like ISU knows they hold the cards. Whether they do remains to be seen, but they came out strong and direct as Rabbuk implies.

Based on the filed lawsuit, she believes it was racially motivated. Her belief does not make it fact for everyone else.

This is why these suits go through courts...evidence, proof, witnesses carry a lot more weight than one person's complaints, justified or otherwise.

Anybody know the background on the attorney that filed?

"Coach Stays!!"

I didn't necessarily, either, but really...do you see either Jamie or Bill to be the type to sit politely and quietly while the lawyers file papers?

The way I read that was more of a problem with the way he coached. Not necessarily a singling out issue but a issue of how he coaches as a whole. I think there is something to be said about that but I'd say the same for most women's coaches.

Interested to see what Meredith B. and TeeTee Starks have to say.

The firm can't even get the names right in the initial filing.

Some of the hot takes in here:

It definitely reads aggressive.

Translation "We are not going to settle easy just to make this go away." So brace for a nasty trial in a year or so?

I read the fact the EO office already investigated and didn't find evidence to support the allegations significant. EO office don't just roll over and ask the administration to scratch their tummies. At least my employees (fed) EEO office in DoD never does.

Yeah, whatever happens, the university must believe they are on solid ground.

Given that he's been the coach for 20 years, wouldn't something have come out before now if these allegations are true?

LONG history of Bill and his temper throughout the years. Can't understand the racial component, but there have been many players who have left his program. Sorta like LE w/out the drinking maybe?

Nice close in the troll thread Linden. You are the Mariano Rivera of CF. We just hit Enter Sandman and Linden comes in takes care of business.:smile:

Mouth of the Midwest and Miller interviewed her (of course). To me, she sounded like she thinks she is "The Goodwife" (a terrible tv show in my opinion)

 

[cyclone13]

Chassidy Cole has spoken and she said that she has never been treated with racism and never seen any of them treated that way.

Austen Arnaud also spoke.
