[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1905054, member: 746137"] Well there are two pieces to it, as I understand it. 1. The period of less than a month between senior leadership being made aware of the situation and their resolution of it by forcing the assailant to resign. 2. That the assailant was allowed to resign and move on elsewhere, where future assaults occurred. I genuinely don't quite understand what it is that the "right" thing to do was as to #2, given the circumstances and given that this was 2010. Is it that they should have gone to the police? What the expectation of what the police would have done? The "Sandusky frame" as I said above depends on the idea of the big, bad sports organization not caring about the lives of anyone who gets in the way of its big, bad important people. Kyle Beach was a first round draft pick and top prospect and the assailant was a nobody video coordinator who was jettisoned without a thought. Beach was not a minor. This becoming public in 2010 would not have played the way it would today, not even close. I just find there to be no appreciation for the subtleties involved in a frustrating way. [/QUOTE]
