**Update: Golden cleared!** [UF basketball coach accused of sexual harassment and stalking thread]

Setting aside outcomes, how long do we think this situation lives in public limbo? Until tomorrow? Next week? End of season?

Interesting that the broadcast didnt mention it and the media seems relatively quiet about a major program coach in such circumstances.

Could this go kinda quiet and drag on for a time? Will opposing fans force more attention? How long can this investigation take given its already a couple months old?

I know this isn't really answerable. It's all just so unbelievable in either direction.

 

I think the first test will be this Friday in Tallahassee. If they come out with signs and chants we might be in for a long season. If not, then it might not be too terrible for too long, as long as new info doesn't come out. Time will soon tell.

 

I have no idea how long something like this is supposed to take. Courtroom stuff can take forever due to scheduling of arraignments, discovery, depositions, hearings, trials, sentencing, etc. A Title IX case (is it even a "case"?) is all about interviews and evidence. It would seem that it should be wrapped up within a month or two from the start, but it's already been that long.

 

I agree, though I'm trying to imagine taunts that aren't completely inappropriate and that won't look just as bad for the taunter as the tauntee.

"Coach Golden unfollowed me, too"? I mean - I don't see an easy angle that isn't offensive to all parties.

 

That depends on where it stands currently. If it is significant, it could go to court and get dragged out. Conversely, the investigation may be nearly wrapped and no findings was the outcome. Maybe she was told that there wasn’t enough to move forward, so she ran to The Alligator because she wanted justice or to attempt to defame the coach. Everything at this point is conjecture. We may have already heard the last. It’s a meh situation until anything is released by an official source.

 

Interesting take by Gene Frenette from The Jacksonville Florida Times-Union.

 

Right? It's been what 6-8 weeks? It's what makes it all so damn confusing. Doesn't seem like it should take long to prove or disprove. Perhaps why they went to the press?

 

Nothing that's not in this thread.

 

One thing I haven't seen discussed: a settlement. No idea if such a thing factors into Title IX complaints, as it isn't a civil case.

 

I’m personally not all that concerned that he has screamed his innocence from the highest mountain. Our prison system is filled with folks who have done so. Is it strange? Well, yes if you are innocent but even more so if you are not.

 

If any of the allegations are true, Golden should be fired. But until the facts come out, I totally support him and assume his innocence. I think a settlement of any kind would only be discussed if and when the determination is made that he did something wrong, which would probably prompt a civil action by the accusers. And, if so, the settlement would probably involve the University of Florida as well as him personally. Deepest pockets. Just my opinion.

 

1. They will be college kids.
2. Some will be rivals.

They will take their best shots. It may piss-off the Florida team.

Adds nothing new, IMO.

 

And they are attending Florida State and therefore not as well-educated and perhaps even ape-like in their thinking

 

So we know each other then? Class of 1983 and have seen Joe, Pat and their mother not that long ago.

 

It’s a distinct possibility that these young women mistook TG for a lookalike. For example, see the attached for someone who looks exactly like TG.

Simian Seminoles, still making their way up the evolutionary ladder.

 

Does anyone know if title IX rules preclude him from commenting publicly on the situation? This would include proclamations of innocence. It would also make this writer look like an idiot for making such a big deal about it.

 

They all do

 

I think I know her
