ESPN creates fake QB controversey

I don't think Michigan is too awfully worried about your proverbial daughter not attending the school.

every school at one time or another.

What is your view on the content of this thread?  This is about a possible quarterback controversy, not about Brendon Gibbons.  I know it is confusing at time to seperate the content of the thread but in this case, it seems pretty clear to me.

1. Gibbons is not a confirmed "rapist."  He was convicted of sexual misconduct, of which he is likely guilty, but that's a LONG way from a rapist.  And you publicly calling him that is more shameful than anything U-M has done in this situaiton.
2. Sheltering Gibbons?  There's not evidence of that.  The only claim you could make is that maybe, maybe he shouldn't have played vs. Iowa.
3. Who should get fired?  The university's jumbled sexual misconduct policy is the guilty party here, and it certainly didn't do a timely job of addressing the Gibbons issue.  But who should be fired, and for what?

I get that people are pissed that a girl may have been sexually assaulted.  I'm pissed too.  But throwing around wild accusations and calling a kid who has not been convicted of a crime a "rapist" is ignorant, malicious, and stupid.

Quite frankly, the further I get away from the emotion of the case, the more I feel the end result was the right one, even if it was delayed.

You're talking about "sheltering" a kid who was the worst kicker in program history when the incident occurred.  That makes no sense.

And before you go spouting off concepts like "moral authority," you ought to think twice about labeling a kid a "rapist" and accusing a university of "sheltering" a (when the incidenct occurred) terrible kicker.

Posts like your are why this is process is confidential, and why the athletic department should NOT know until the final decision is handed down.

Sheltering?  He was never charged with anything in 2009.  I like how in your desvription of Gibbons  there isn't the word "convicted".

Sheltering Gibbons "for winning" and "for football" makes absolutely no sense.  For starters he didn't play in 2009.  Second, he was AWFUL in 2010.

And who exactly do you want fired over this?  Bill Martin says it never came up.  So if he didn't know, Dave Brandon probably didn't know, and Hoke sure as hell didn't know.  What do you want Hoke to do?  Go long distance over Martin and RichRod's head and kick Gibbons off while he's the head coach at San Diego State?  By the time Hoke was hired this whole thing was OVER.  It didn't come back up until November 2013, and Gibbons did not even meet with the university body until December.

Don't worry. MSC was obviously forced out due to this controversy.

I'm just curious about what proverb or idiom you're referring? We've all heard of the "proverbial [prodigal] son" from the Book of Luke, referring to celebrating a son who finds his way home (spiritually and literally); but I'm not familiar with a proverbial daughter.

Unless you're a farmer, in which case we've all heard the story of the "farmer's daughter" and what that implies. Which actually kind of makes sense in context.
