while you are probably correct Shirley you can see the optics issue when it appears that the university is more concerned with its reputation than its coaches following policies.



The optics of this situation will always look bad for one party as long as you only hear from one side. AUs policy of not talking specifics pertaining to an open investigation will hurt them from a PR standpoint.

Bad PR or not, that's the only proper way to respond. Jacobs has already planted both feet firmly in a pile of fresh dogshait with is earlier denial of an issue. If he'd simply said "I can't comment" the athletic department would have a lot more credibility on this issue right now.

The last thing in the freaking world they want to do now is make a statement and then have something else turn up in the investigation.
