“Out of respect for the families involved, we have refrained from making any public statements up to this point regarding the circumstances of the tragic accident that claimed two lives and injured two members of our campus community. However, we want the public to know that the Athletic Department is conducting a thorough review, in coordination with appropriate legal counsel, to fully understand the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.


We want to emphasize that these individuals were not engaged in Athletic Department duties around the time of this incident.


I think this is a poor decision and will generate a lot of negative publicity. Nothing good will come from this. Get ready for some lawsuits.

They’re saying the people weren’t involved in athletic dept duties at the time, not that they have zero responsibility. It says they’re currently conducting a review on it.

I feel like you’re reading what you want to read here.

Lawsuits were happening regardless. We will be lucky to escape this without serious damage to the program.

What should they say? They don’t know all the facts yet l. I get society thinks shite happens like on tv but at least wait until all the reports and official investigation are done.

Take the Idaho murders for example.

Overcoming these issues at any program is what makes for Dynastys another name for an elite program. There is always scandals whether real or fabricated.

I hate this for families as they will have to relive this for years to come with litigation which I would guess is coming.

To me they were doing what you g people do to celbrate major accomplishments. Hate it had to end like this.

Hate the media for going out of their way to smear these kids.

AJC article forced their hand with this statement. I don't see how the university or athletic dept are responsible at all if what they said is true. There's no scandal here, it was a tragic accident.
