As long as it takes Vandy's people to write a speech for the presser firing him...

Don't know about the Franklin angle, but what I just read about the rape makes me sick. I hope those guys lives are ruined and get jacked in prison. That is just messed up and disgusts me.

Whether he did or not, it's going to get real ugly the more details come out that Vandy can't sweep under the rug just because they're a private institution.

What an a-hole Franklin is:
quote:

Franklin’s self-described “extreme personality” is the marvel of players and fans alike. His voluble nature has also garnered unwanted headlines. During a radio interview last June, he said that he doesn’t hire an assistant coach until he sees his wife. “If she looks the part, and she’s a D-1 recruit, then you got a chance to get hired. That’s part of the deal.”


And wtf does this mean?:
quote:

Vandenburg and the victim are white. The three other players are black. One attorney who has seen all the evidence in the case said the video footage has “a strong racial component” that goes beyond the mere fact of the skin colors of the individuals involved, but would not elaborate on specific details.

I have no clue what this even means. These allegations would sink Franklin and Vandy if true

The rapists should go to prison for a LONG time. Franklin will wind up resigning, IMO. Just the allegation hurts the program.

Yea, sick story.

The Franklin angle is one person saying he saw the video.

A lot of people jumping in to comment on a thread where they haven't read the linked article. Does this really sound like much of anything? Especially considering the players were immediately dismissed and charges pressed within weeks?

quote:

A source close to one of the defendants said he believes that Franklin encouraged a player to delete a video of the incident after the player showed it to Franklin.

"I'm 99.9 percent sure that Franklin saw the video," the source said. "And I wouldn't be surprised if the public finds this out soon."

"Coach Franklin denies that emphatically," said Hal Hardin, Franklin's attorney. "People always speculate and gossip. There is no truth to that accusation whatsoever. It's inflammatory."

"He has been cooperating fully with the investigation," Hardin said. Prosecutors believe they have recovered all the images associated with the incident and that no potential evidence was lost before or during the investigation.
