    Be careful, or you'll be perceived around here as bringing the pitchforks...

    I think we have quite a few instances with the last few years of ambitious attorneys filing charges based on flimsy evidence.

    I'm not suggesting that's the case here, but I would disagree that it automatically makes sense.

    probably happen? How do you know what or not is probable? those are some big IFS - every case is different, who is to know what will come out. We have no idea. Let's not jump the gun here just yet and start lumping in one case with another. We already have a poster compare him to Larry Nassar of all ridiculous comparisons, we're getting wayyy ahead of ourselves here. Let's at least wait until the other side has a chance to defend himself. Enough with this guilty until proven innocent BS.

    Put me in the camp of Golden threatening defamation is a sign of weakness. From Bill Cosby to Harvey Weinstein to Lance Armstrong, high-profile figures often resort to legal threats as part of a broader strategy to manage public image during scandals.

    Boy there sure are a lot of new posters on here coming out of the woodwork to attack Golden. Hmm, I wonder why. Like sharks smelling blood in the water.

    Are you comparing Golden to Bill Cosby and Harvey Weinstein? Wow. I'm sure you didn't just pick those names out of thin air. That's absolutely insane.

    I keep bouncing this around in my mind and wondering if anyone in the know out there can add more.

    Is there any chance either of the the two ladies or others involved might have been members of the Dazzlers or cheerleaders here at UF? If any of the allegations are true, it won't matter who these ladies were other than former UF students, but if they were part of the these cheer squads at the games, then it might explain some of the other members of the coaching staff if they were connected with operations. I've wondered how did CTG get their phone info if any of it happened.

    it's possible, but I didn't realize he had their phone info, I though it must have been following on instagram..which is easy to do and they may have been asked him to follow them.

    Don't think phone #'s were involved. Alleged solicitations were made via Instagram.

    I think it is fine for folks here to voice a reasonable opinion. We're not part of the process. We don't have to hold ourselves to a legal standard in either direction.

    But let's all keep some humility. We see this through a tiny keyhole. The administration has much more information. This could be Duke lacrosse or it could be Cam Newbauer.

    Last point for all the guys: as hard as it is to not side with our coach, let's put the young women at the center. As the father of a strong, visible daughter, I have a long list of "Men are the freaking worst" stories. It's hard for me to read some of the posts in this thread.

    Given the accusations CTG will probably get an earfull and eyefull from students at away games. Guilty or not, it won't be pretty or matter one way or the other. I've seen it in The Alley and have been part of that home court advantage.

    I am stunned that's your takeaway from my comment. Are they not high profile figures that threatened lawsuits when accused?

    Feel free to provide other, more palatable, examples of the threat of litigation as a PR strategy if you wish.

    Yes "men are the freaking worst" until you go to divorce courts. I'd say all "people" can be pretty bad sometimes, but yes let's at least wait until we have the full story before bringing out the pitchforks. Speaking of which, Betty Hubbard (18), Marcy Lewis (17), Mary Wolcott (17), Betty Harris (9), Abby Williams (11) and Ann Putnam (12) started the witch hunt accusations, which led to the execution of 19 people.

    The point is, jumping the gun with accusations when you don't know all the facts can be very dangerous. Whether you're male or female.

    You specifically chose 2 of the most high profile rapists to compare to a stalking case, which we don't even know was actually stalking.

    The other poster specifically chose to compare him to a serial child rapist. Sensationalist much? Talk about agendas. I also noticed that you chose to include Lance Armstrong instead of Marion Jones in that list. No mention of Ghislaine Maxwell, either. Didn't fit your narrative, I guess

    Stunned? Don't play innocent. You know what you were doing in mentioning Cosby and Weinstein. You both just appear out of nowhere with these not so subtle agendas.

    You are propping up a straw man. I did not directly compare Golden’s alleged misconduct with that of Cosby and Weinstein at any point. I was specifically talking about the legal response to third party allegations. If that topic is too complex or uninteresting for you, feel free to sit on the sidelines.

    Ok, yes you just mentioned those names by chance, and they just happened to be all male. Anyway, basketball game soon. Us basketball fans here on the basketball board are going to watch a basketball game. Have had enough toxicity for one night.
