The interesting wrinkle being that one of the players involved transferred in from another program after being suspended with an assault charge hanging over him and Altman claims ignorance. Seems clear that if you used employer hiring duties and liability standards (where a hire injures another employee) Altman and the U are cooked on this, but I don't know if we hold universities to such standards regarding student to student violence and propensities for same. Course, the suspension was a red flag and Dana's claim of ignorance may be judged at best negligent, at worst false and in the middle grossly negligent.

Interesting isn't the word I would use.

hah, just trying to be polite and invite erudite examination of the phenomenon! Not the underlying phenomenon, which needs no explanation, but the wrinkle - called the Coach.

For quite awhile, despite intense feelings, I couldn't even bring myself to comment on this situation. Maybe one word: disgust (in abundance and flowing in oh so many directions). Could add: "no surprise." Again, pointing in many directions.

I wish I could say I felt surprised.

If Altman were truthful and really didn't know about the history, I'd think he should be fired. How do you offer someone a scholarship without asking why they were suspended? Seems like a dereliction of duty.

Of course, he DID know.
