I disagree about the $2M price tag issue. IF it's a won-lost issue, then, yes, it may be a matter of finances. But IF it's a question of how players are treated, then $2M is an extremely cheap way for a school to avoid a potentially terrible outcome. Don't think of it as how much a school values WCBB; think of it as how an extremely high profile school values avoiding ANY potential crisis resulting in physical or mental danger. Duke has had its run-ins with disastrously bad publicity, and would glady spend $2M to avoid something similar. $2M is a rounding error on Duke's annual budget, and I suspect it pays out that sort of money pretty casually to make other problems disappear, let alone to prevent them in the first place.
It's fun to slam other schools or unpopular (to us) ADs and HCs, but sometimes other people actually have information that we Boneyarders don't have and sometimes they actually process that information effectively.
All of what you say is true. So far, no players or assistants have come forward to respond to any complaints of mistreatment or those that have (none to my knowledge) didn't have damning allegations. Without that exactly what does the AD have to hang her out to dry?? We are finding that many are leaving many College teams for "abuse", it appears to be a current trend--leaving not abuse!
