Why would it make sense that they would be significantly more guarded in one case vs another?


I'm not sure of the question. If I was an ex-employer, and you were calling me for a reference for an employee who I thought was violent, I would be more guarded than if he wasn't violent. I'd be concerned about the guy suing me for libel, while at the same time concerned about the guy doing harm with the prospective employer.

I could have the same conversation with two different prospective employers and the conversation would be different, depending on my relationship with the caller, and that caller's skill at cross examining me.

A libel case would not be an issue when it comes to schools sharing information about student athletes who have been dismissed from a program.

But if the concern is providing too much info from Boise's end like you were suggesting, why would they so openly answer UF's questions and make it so clear to UF what the nature of his relationship was like?

From a common sense standpoint I have trouble believing that Boise officials went as far as to imply he had beaten his girlfriend to officials from UF, but Peterson made him seem like a homesick kid who needed a change of scenery to Baylor as Briles said

Even if the questions asked by the two ADs were different, it seems unlikely to me that the message would vary that greatly
