Innocent before proven guilty is relevant in a criminal context.
In this civil suit, however, it's about whether or not they were liable in fostering the type of environment in which accusers did not feel that they had the safety or support to come forward. Innocence or guilt is not really relevant, so it is completely appropriate for people to form an opinion on this matter, especially because as you mentioned it seems to be a pervasive sentiment on a lot of major university campuses.
That is often what defense attorneys do though. Im not sticking up for the school but when a defense attorneys job is to keep their client out of jail they often get trials pushed for years for various stupid reasons to at least delay the impending consequences.
Yeah, I was thinking who the hell Biff was, then I caught on. I like it, and definitely see the resemblance.
I just hope that horseshoe fell out of his ass back at BYU this past season, although I hear he's recruiting some of the BYU players to come to UVA.
I think the most important thing he said was that his S&C staff get the opportunity to establish the "culture" that Fuente wants. Culture is so important and more important than any scheme, workout, or drill. It's refreshing to hear the new staff constantly talking about this topic! BRAVO!
Yeah, that is a bad deal for Dean, and hopefully it was 'pulled' gracefully, like telling him they feel strongly he'll get the scholarship once he gets established on the squad, and the extra scholarship is needed to help in the transition to getting more players that fit Fuente's schemes. He sounds like a good kid that won't have a problem putting in the work needed to secure a scholarship.
The most annoying thing about winter storm events in NC is how much people freak out over just the thought of wintery precipitation falling. People in 4x4 vehicles will go 15mph on a clear road "just in case". The NCDOT isn't that skilled at snow removal in this part of the state, either. Western NC, though, have their ducks in a row when it comes to handling snow removal. Here's to hoping everyone stays safe and warm!
Thanks!
Make sure you have that written down. Y'know, for the lawsuit that's coming at said CEO like a freight train.
If they treat the roads, we might get something. If the roads are clean, we 'll probably get nothing.
The main time that such a donation makes no difference is if you're not itemizing.
Middle initial and all. I feel so old and stodgy.
Sure enough...43 and rainy here on Tuesday. But nothing in between while VA is getting snow.

# | OT: UTenn sued for "Deliberate Indifference" towards Sexual Assault It should be made clear that UT, the athletic department and coaches supporting accused players is not a bad thing. Innocent before proven guilty. They deserve all the support they can muster.
What is at issue is the apparent persecution of those accusing the players. It's one thing to be rigorously defended and another to rigorously defame the victims.
For me that is the central issue. Likewise, I take issue that the victim if also a student is not afforded the same support from the school as the athlete. They presumably do not have coaches and athletic department to support them and so the school should play no favorites and offer the same support. Unfortunately there is clearly a contemporary trend that schools struggle with this. This is not something that is unique to UT. This is something that is unique to schools today in general. And this is the larger issue in my view.
I also read the Peyton article. And while that disappoints me greatly, I think the larger, and more pressing issue this article proves (if all true), is that this culture has been pervasive for quite some time at UT and likely throughout American universities in general.
I was fortunate to see VT's internal operations for these type of things in person and in my dealings always felt VT did a great job with these sensitive and important cases. Does that mean VT is always infallible? I seriously doubt it, but things that I saw were consistently handled well.
well yeah you're in New York, its a -25 chill in Wisconsin too.
Just because its cold now does not mean it will be cold on tuesday. Moisture will be present. Trust me
the issue is that the air is going to be warming up and thats going to make it less snow and more rain. Besides just because its cold in New York does not indicate cold in the Mid Atlantic, this is a very cold snap (really our first of the winter) due to the dreaded "polar vortex" yeah...its a real term...but usually pretty common

74 pages. The NBC article makes a big deal of that like 6 times in two paragraphs.
Up here in Taiga land, New York, our dew point is -25 tonight, with a low of -12 and a wind chill of -27. I'm pretty sure it's cold enough all the way up. What you also need is moisture. We haven't had much of that lately. More snow in VA the other day than we've seen all season.
This is a civil case, not criminal. So, there's no guilt/innocence. Just liability.

Your name should be on here.
My understanding is hokie club website is rather dated so online viewing of current points / ranking is not possible. I heard some talk in the past year of a full revamp, but not sure of the timeline.
I don't think the article mentions that, at least, not that I noticed, I read it twice too.
Couldn't catch this one, but from the twitter feed it seemed to go as expected overall. Here's hoping for a good matchup for the duals.
ACC Champions?!! Where is the summary article of the win? We need more celebratory GIFs
I don't think the Battle at Bristol tickets will be counted in by the time ND tickets go on sale.
I agree mostly, but i must be missing something. The alleged rape victims simply need to file a police report, then the state will pursue criminal charges if they find adequate evidence. The victim then has representation via the states attorney, again given there is evidence to support the claim.
