At this point I’d say we’ve hit Rocky Bottom.

Couldn’t have happened to a better rapist-protecting program. Well, I take that back—there are worse out there, but they’re in the running for top 5 for sure.

Based on all the mid-tier guys saying no thanks, it seems like the answer is a pretty clear “they wouldn’t”. 

I regret that I have but one click to offer your comment.

I’d much rather watch the shitshow when Kiffin bails on them a second time after a year or two.

Honest question: Why would a top tier candidate want this job? That seems to be the fans expectation. But they need an almost complete rebuild, are a middle of the pack SEC team, dont have the cache of their SEC competitors (at least in an 18-year-old recruit’s eyes) but the expectation will be for championships? It’s…

Two typo’s, huh?

Can’t be shocked by any of this. It’s “Rocky Top”, not “Smooth, Well-Executed Top”.

“Typo’s”

One thing I want to re-emphasize in reply to this is that we have no idea if the bulk of that $89 million is new money. The league can just take it out of its already-planned charitable budget. Or its ad budget.

but how is the money a paltry figure?

I think it’s more “we’ll do this, you shut up and be a good boy, but maybe in the end we won’t actually do it, and you’ll have no say on how or if we do it”

Had to be done.

I know some c-suite types have had the door locking buttons, but AFAIK it’s always tied into a silent alarm meaning security is supposed to come running if they are ever used.

Worse than a button that locks women in his office? That seems fairly damning.

This is just the first leak in the dam. The flood is coming, I would bet. One article I read today indicated that the firing happened so quickly because the one woman who initially complained also had documentation of several other credible instances of harassment by Lauer against others. The NYT just posted an…

Panty roses from a workplace associate? Ewwwww. What the fuck is wrong with people?

It’s not like the knobdobber installed the fucking lock button himself. All these creeps are surrounded by enablers and the women have no one they can trust anywhere at their workplace. Maddening.

All the fuckers who kept Lauer there need to get fired too.

It’s nice to know some people still follow traditions.
