Should Bubu appeal President Leath decision to the BOR?
- Thread starter CHAKAZULU
- Start date
If he is absolutely innocent of any wrong doing, then it would seem he has nothing to lose. If there is the slightest doubt at all about his innocence, then he would be a complete fool to drag this out any longer.
In the grand scheme of things a kid with good character and some class wouldn't bother appealing this decision. He would accept the decision that was made and understand that dragging this out further would be a distraction to the program, his former coach, his former teammates, and it would also continue to keep a story alive in the media that has been a black eye for the university. It's time for Bubu to take a step back, look at the big picture, and do the right thing which would be to simply move on.
Is it likely that Leath made this decision knowing full well that it would probably be appealed to the BOR, then? If Bubu appeals and gets reinstated, then Leath will have been able to dump this mess on someone else and reasonably defend his decision by citing university policy. Or if the dismissal is held up by the BOR, then Leath looks good for making a tough call and having the full support of the BOR behind him. He wins either way.
I think he's just saying that the first time around they found him not in violation of student code. So what made them change their minds, does ISU know something they didn't know the first time or did someone threaten to wage a negative pr battle (smear) with University over this. The latter would be my guess
Voting you redneck father of the decade.
isufbcurt talking to his recently raped daughter:
"Well Nancy, boys will be boys (chuckle chuckle chuckle)! Whaddya say you and I go down to the Walgreens and buy some morning after pills then go to the clinic and get you tested for STDs you little knucklehead!"
A quibble... The prosecutor didn't necessarily drop the case based on evidence. Most likely he examined the case including the evidence and including the victims actions and felt his odds of success were less than certain. Never heard of a single NON-TV lawyer who took a case to court without doing that math.
Are you speaking from a legal POV or from an insititue of higher learning's codes and standards of conduct POV?
He had to feel pretty confident he would not win the case. If there was a chance of proving the case, he would have taken it to court. There was obviously no chance of proving the case.
Big deal? Really?
By definition, having sex with a person who is not able to give consent is rape..and that's sad if you brush it off as "everyone does it"
I'd love for you to look her father in the eye and say exactly what you just posted and see how he responded.
For those saying, "lawyer up," why?
It appears ISU procedures have been followed (and those are different than criminal charges, etc). Do you think Leath would make such a decision without legal counsel and understanding the process?
A players ability to be on a team isn't a right (heck, we saw it this summer when we took on a transfer then took that spot back for someone else).

Indeed, if it's a matter of university policy than why was he reinstated in the first place? Palo made some horrible decisions and hopefully he has learned from what happened. Leath is the one putting ISU back in press again. My opinion is he would rather have the regents make the decision to allow him back on the team. He then looks good and Palo gets to play. Just my 2 cents.
I don't know. An appeal of that reinstatement was made by a third party. The appeal may have contained additional info not available to the student board, or Leath may have reviewed the case and simply came to the conclusion that the student board made the wrong decision. Just because the student board reinstated Palo doesn't mean that it was the correct thing to do based on the facts.
Awesome, so some girl can make an accusation with no proof and fabricated evidence towards a person, ruin their reputation and basketball career, and people with 0 association to the case side against him. Awesome, hope you guys don't meet the wrong girl one lonely night, might get the favor returned.
Do you trust Leath's judgement in his decision? If not, why?
Seems like Palo's case is pretty good incentive to avoid that scenario...

My how smart you are jamby.
Enlighten me/us. Why should he have been kicked off the team a year ago?
