    We can't just assume the allegations are true until proven. His account could have been hacked. We simply don't know the FACTS at this point. Just because a complaint has been filed doesn't prove anything. And since it's been of record since September, my thinking is that the investigation has not been able to substantiate anything. Golden seems to be claiming total innocence based on this statement from earlier today. The University should stand by him until they have actual evidence that he violated Title 9.

    The ONLY possible good news that comes of this is Stricklin is finally done embarrassing the University of Florida and is GONE! But keep Todd please :)

    Wilde was accused of being gay. Made a big stink that it was defamation. They tailed him & proved it. He went to prison. Jagger was accused of using drugs, he made a big stink that it was defamation. They tailed him & he got busted. In both cases it is widely believed, they would've skated had they shut up.

    Hopefully it’s true he can be exonerated, but inherently that’s a helluva accusation the other way. Both in terms of the Alligator AND the woman (or women) that brought forth the complaint.

    It stinks either way.

    I'm not assuming they are true. I'm concerned about UFs image if this thing goes south. I offered my opinion before the statement went out. A suspension for a game or two to deal with the public shock and give the investigation more time is a better look than walking into the Tucker Center in Tallahassee this Friday and seeing all the signs about Golden is not a good look for our players. Sure this thing can get prolonged in the courts but either there's evidence or hearsay out there that needs some splainin. If Stricklin wants to roll the dice and go down with Golden if it goes badly, that's the ADs choice.

    If he's completely innocent, he doesn't deserve to be suspended. Period. People and the university should stand behind their man until and unless the FACTS show he did something wrong.

    Does anyone think that if Florida had the evidence that this was actually true, and there was no other explanation, that he wouldn’t be suspended or fired all already? This university does not protect its athletic department like others.

    What’s crazy too is it seems like Golden just retained an attorney and otherwise did not have one specifically for this situation, which if true says volumes for how he thought this was going until it went public. Now maybe this is just the defamation attorney, but if not, pretty crazy.

    Just noting in Golden’s brief statement, he didn’t say he didn’t do it or claim his innocence; maybe he had restraints on what he could say at this point.
    The truth will come out I’m hoping soon. If it’s true what was reported that Golden likes younger women, to me, that seems curious.

    They are holding an investigation aren’t they? That sounds like they are taking it seriously.

    I was a department administrator at UF for 20 years. Yes, yes, yes, a sexual harassment complaint is taken VERY seriously. Which says nothing about the veracity of any particular allegation. That’s why there are thorough investigations. I have never heard of a whitewash. The UF General Counsel’s office doesn’t mess around.
