Leath's delay in handing down the ruling was in part because he took an ISU trip to Africa. He advised Palo's lawyer, Matt Boles, of the anticipated schedule and there as no objection. If Palo was worried about the transfer schedule, he should have said something at the time.
These are difficult cases and Leath had to make a difficult decision. I can't find the lawsuit online. Looks like it has not yet been served.

Bubu will never ever go away. He is what they call in the avionics industry as a 'parasitic drag'
Curtis Stinson has been a D league all star for years. No team is giving him an NBA deal just like no team wold consider giving one to Palo. The D league is not a development league. It is literally a pool of replacement players for the desperate teams at the bottom of the standings.
Unfortunately true. The D-League could be something better with some reworking (although I think better salaries would have to be the main issue to prevent people from running to Europe).
Stay tuned. Something is in the works that may make the D-League look a little more like minor league baseball. The jury is still out if they will go far enough.
Don't be silly, of course he could have. He ended up signing a contract to play in the NBDL but you think he could not have gotten a scholarship anywhere but ISU?
His options coming out of high school weren't overly strong if I remember right. He did develop into a solid player. Did he have any/many offers?
So their response was to not only keep him at that university but continue to pay for his education there as well?
If they felt he was guilty, he should have been removed from school to protect other potential victims or at the very least no longer pay for his education there.
According to the findings of Administrative Law Judge John Priester in a separate case over sexual misconduct sanctions ISU handed Palo, Cruise raped the alleged victim and left the room. Palo came into the room immediately afterward, Priester found, and had sex with the still-traumatized woman, who did not verbally consent but did not convey a lack of consent. - See more at: http://amestrib.com/news/trial-set-palo-defamation-suit#.dpuf
Doesn't sound like there was much of a mood to kill. Reading this gives me little sympathy for Bubu. This is the findings of the judge who did not punish Bubu's because he is required to have a higher standard of proof. He did conclude that there was a rape and that at very least Bubu took advantage of the situation immediately afterwards while the girl was still traumatized. I've seen a few cases of totally made up rape charges, they looked nothing like this. Just because he wasn't convincted doesn't mean he didn't violate the code of student conduct and basic human decency. Bubu definitely won't get anything for his "damaged" pro career and hopefully will loose the case.
There are no winners here in this situation. Unfortunately, everyone involved loses, no matter what.
So he still made it to the D league which is probably about his ceiling, really not following how he possibly lost wages.
No matter what we think, this will end up costing ISU/BOR. This is not a case about rape. It is a case about poor leadership/judgement on the part of ISU/BOR. The rape charge was thrown out of court for evidence tampering (among other things) and Bubu was even allowed to play BB (even in the NCAA tourney against Notre Dame and Ohio Street). Like the case against the accuser and the accuser's mother, this case will be settled out of court. Bubu will have prevailed multiple times. Hopefully, we will then move on.
