Well the poster in question was a lot smarter than you. I'd wager it's not a hard threshold to cross.

Hmmm seems to me we have precedents with "attractive nuisances" to go on.

And exactly how well does Oklahoma vet the guys they bring in? Do they run criminal background checks? Do the same due diligence that a day care has to do with respect to hiring employees?

Does Stoops know if any of his recruits have reputations for being aggressive in high school and before? Why should their behavior change at Oklahoma?

Tell me something. Say I run a business in Norman. And I always go down to Texas when I hire someone.

But in Norman, these guys are constantly getting in trouble, beating people up, stealing stuff, crimes like rape. For some reason local law enforcement doesn't seem too interested in the whole thing.

But you really don't think that is grounds for a Civil lawsuit?

And you're too stupid to realize that you basically made my point...which I used Briles to make an example of. Since you for some strange reason decided to mention day care, let me go ahead and point out that I have two advanced degrees, have had multiple courses in school law, and actually have run a preschool. So there's that. From a legal point of view, states mandate different regulations for day care, but it would be obviously be foolish of me to expect you to understand that.

We're talking about prior knowledge...not supervision of the players once they get there. Again, foolish on my part to expect you to grasp the difference.

So the issue is, should universities do criminal background checks...is that what you're saying? Maybe they should...but if it's not required, or even standard practice, no, Stoops can't be held liable for not conducting them.

Plus, you would then have to do a background check not just in every athlete but every scholarship student.

And no, it doesn't take that many brain cells to grasp that, your intelligent friend not withstanding.
