    I think the fact that he didn't have to go through a trial for sexual assault should be considered second chance enough.  I'm a big "innocent until proven guilty" guy...but I also have zero tolerance for that kind of behavior.  The guy fit one good season into a sandwich of off the field issues...football obviously wasn't a priority, and playing the game is a privilege, not a right.  I'm sad that a school would take a flyer on a guy with that kind of MO...but like the tweet author said...it doesn't surprise me that someone would.

    Well said! It is unbelievable that a school would knowingly put all their female students in danger just to potentially win a few more football games.

    It is a case study in everything that is wrong with campus "jurisprudence": It behaves more as a secretive star chamber than a body in pursuit of truth. 

    And the lack of transparency compounds the problem. 

    Campus should have a system for "< pronoun > hurt my feelings"; however, when there is a charge that fits in the traditional court system that's where the matter belongs. 

    Are you stating that this victim of Otis’s should not have filed Title IX??Do you have any idea how much courage and strength it must have taken to file a Title IX against one of the best players on a football team who obviously got away this before! As the article stated, she didn’t want her name blasted all over for people to scrutinize her.

    How is the AD or Bubba going to kick a kid off the the team for rumors? Until a title 9 complaint is filed it would be hard to justify kicking a guy off the team if a criminal investigation was dropped. Otis passed a lie detector test so he had that on his side.

    Did Otis get some kind of legal advice before the hearing? Did he try to appeal the decision? I have a feeling he may not have know how this could have all blown up by trying to transfer or maybe he just ignored all the warnings?

     

    The Title IX case and the criminal case or two different women…not connected. Totally different cases.

    A case of false accusations leading to the accused being wrongfully expelled happened right here at UND about 12 years ago. His expulsion was eventually overturned and an arrest warrant was issued for the liar. I don't remember if she was ever brought to court. 

    *edit* I purposely left his name out. Let's not use it here. He doesn't need yet another internet search result linking his name and the false accusations against him.

    Are you seriously posting this? People like you are the reason more females do not report sexual assault. Shame on you!

    Will be interesting if these allegations prove to be false and all charges are dropped.  Wondering if Missouri St, or any school) will be able to or even want to pick him up.

    What are you not understanding about the article? The hearing happened in January of 2022 and he was found guilty. The allegations were proven, in a hearing by a judge, to be true.

    If they are proven false, I could see someone making an offer.  Somebody's life/career shouldn't be drastically affected or ruined if false allegations are made. To make it clear I'm talking in general, I'm not defending Weah or anything as I have no idea as to what happened and I'm not saying the allegations are false. 

    Otis was found guilty….five years suspension…how can they be proven false? The hearing happened and he was found guilty!
