So therefore, we're asking for the lawyer to provide us with some kind of information so we can make a decision on what we need to do.

So to me, basically, he's saying that ignorance is bliss.

They don't want to ask the question because they don't want to know the answer.

So then my lawyer says, okay, but that wasn't my question.

At any point, did anyone ask him if he had done it, what he was being accused of?

And he said, I can't answer that question because I don't know.

We could make assumptions on what has happened and what has led to this point.

But for us to ask a lawyer to provide documentation stating that he had not done anything or hasn't been charged warrants that.

Maybe we did ask, but I wasn't there during that conversation.

So I can't answer that.

Then the coach says, no, no one asked him if he did this, nor did he volunteer that to them as well.

The only things that we wanted to know was had he been charged with anything.

And so obviously it's a police investigation.

They were not trying to get associated in that whole thing and have any information that honestly we just didn't really want that would drag them down a different path.

So the information that we were trying to acquire is to best lay the course.

So basically what my lawyer is getting at here is that they needed to cover themselves by getting a lawyer to say that he isn't charged with anything, not that he didn't do it.

As the victim of this crime, their response is obviously upsetting because they were focused on legal liability instead of whether I or their campus was safe.

They didn't want to have any of that information because they would have been forced to pass it along to law enforcement and that would lead them down a path that they didn't really want to deal with.

So to me, they allowed misconduct because he had broken team rules again and again, and they just let it slide continuously.

Somewhere around February 10th to 14th, he was suspended for off the field issues.
