UGA

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.

they aren't, and it's kinda crazy that otherwise normal thinking adults are trying to spin some other kind of narrative. The incident only involved 4 people, only 1 of which was directly responsible for the outcome. Any person, businsess, or entity other than those 4 people have absolutely zero responsibility whatsoever.

UGA will throw all kinds of attorneys and PR people at this situation. One of the keys for UGA is the PR aspect. It's a terrible tragedy and the University wants to be empathetic, but still they have to travel a fine line in terms of acknowledging liability.

I dunno...
Edit: (Honestly, I didn't know I could post here until I tried this reply)
For the record, regardless of what happened on the main board yesterday, given the press release from the University yesterday, I'm just going to see what happens next. I'm not poking the bear, asking any questions any longer. Just going to watch the events unfold in real time.
Cheers, and good luck going forward.

exactly. When University President, AD and HC are rowing together in same direction, the storm can be weathered. I am sure they are all at "Defcon 1" now w/ PR and lawyers working overtime - as soon as the full accident report(w/ toxicology) and independent review are completed - settlements will be negotiated, NDAs will be signed and PR campaign waged.
The tragedy is real and sad - all that can be done now is to compensate the victims' families and to change policies and procedures moving forward.

Agree. Figure there may be a settlement and release in the works eitherway.

Who owned the auto involved?
EAN, LLC which is Enterprise/Alamo/National. UGA had rented it from them.

They aren't, but that doesn't mean they can't be sued. The did rent the vehicle and it was one of their staffers driving the car. Whether they are liable or not is moot. You can sue anyone and if a judge doesn't throw out the case then things could head south real quick.

What do you mean by head south real quick?
If the University is responsible, do you not think we’ll settle for an incredibly large sum of $?
Obviously nothing will bring Chandler and Devin back, and it’s a horrific event, but I’m not sure what you think is going to happen here. The NCAA isn’t going to give us the SMU treatment.

I don't think any party wants this to go to trial. UGA/UGAAA probably doesn't want lawyers digging into their AD and the affected families may not want this to drag out over years with the chance of coming away empty handed.

I'm extrapolating from Josh Brooks comment that they aren't accepting any responsibility for the accident. 'Things will go south' if any of the families decides to sue the University. Whether UGA is guilty or not doesn't matter at that point. Who knows what will come out at trial. It will be poor publicity the AA and the University.

You'd be surprised what people will do after they've moved through their grief and realize a couple million dollars is sitting on the table.

why? What do you think "go south" means in this case? People suing UGA for something that isn't their fault doesn't mean shite, aside from "so and so sues UGA" being a headline for 2 days on social media, but I'd hardly call that going south.
The university, the athletic department, kirby, our coaches, our AD, and every individual involved with UGA is completely innocent and scot free in this entire thing. People can sue whoever they want but it's not going to make UGA "go south" in any way.
