Will JJ trial verdict end investigations?

[UMGriz75]

Just curious of your thoughts, will the JJ trial verdict (guilty or not guilty) bring a conclusion to the NCAA, DOJ, and DOE investigations? Are they all waiting on the conclusion as part of their reports?

Each and everyone of those investigations were happening or in play before the accusations against JJ came to light. The complaint to the DOJ was made in Jan. and the University was notified in Jan by the NCAA. of the investigation. As significant as the JJ case may be to members of the community, as it was ongoing, its hard to know if it was part of the 80 cases the DOJ identified as problematic. As such I doubt anything happening in the court house will have an effect.

Apples, oranges...how about apples compared to apples. Here is an excerpt from the March 2012 CNN article, "The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday it was launching a probe into allegations that up to 80 complaints of sexual assault over three years were not investigated thoroughly because of gender bias. Of those, 11 cases involved students at the University of Montana -- at least two involving football players."

"At least two ..." which actually was "two," and the one that pled guilty was not a "thug recruited by UM" who took advantage of the Co-ed UM environment, but rather a wholly different situation, at home, with an old friend, both of whom had too much to drink.

The other, will likely be found not guilty.

Both were off campus.

That leaves for UM nine such instances over the three year period, at least two of which involved a far smaller cross section of students -- Saudis -- who have been involved in more than "their fair share" of incidents, including assault and rape on campus.

But, the silence on "that problem" is deafening.

And, that compares with 20 incidents of violent ("forcible") rape and sexual assaults at MSU (on and off campus) over a recent similar three year period, 2008-2010.

The UM rate is nearly half that of MSU. No one points that out; least of all Pat Williams.
