I read it as Alberts didnt bring it up in the meeting. Not that there was no such policy at UNL. But maybe I am reading that wrong as well. 

 

Perhaps, I came on too strong and the assertion wasn't as blatant as I implied. I had made an inference based on .... 

 

earlier sections of the complaint that correctly says that UNL and its agents have the responsibility and authority to enact rules against sexual misconduct.  Then, 

 

from item 18

"WILLIAMS put no restrictions on LOVE’s interactions with student-athletes. Nor did

the NU Department of Athletics place restrictions on coaches’ interactions with student-athletes

that would prevent sexual predation

 

from item 20: "

NU did not require WILLIAMS to enact rules and policies to protect student-athletes from

coaches pursuing sexual relationships. Nor did the NU Department of Athletics itself establish

rules and policies to establish and enforce boundaries as to sexual relationships between coaches

and players, or to decrease the likelihood of sexual harassment/predation by employees of Cornhuskers student-athletes

The thing about the “entire team meeting” is that it should be easily verifiable as there were so many people allegedly there.

 

It wouldn’t be completely surprising for something like that to happen though.  We as humans, in situations like those, usually aren’t completely prepared to handle them logically. It could very well have been an attempt at an “alright, let’s hash this out before we play” meeting that went off the rails.

That's my take on it.  The ruse happened the night before, and I imagine the gossip and video spread like wildfire among the team.  They probably didn't sleep well either, so everyone was tired and even grumpier the day of the game.  Williams may have decided to address it in a team meeting to try and get everyone focused again, except it went badly and spun out of control.  I'm not basing this off anything I know, just my gut.

 

Let me add this.  After what happened the night before, Scoggin should have been pulled aside and protected from the inevitable shit show that would follow.  At that point, nobody knows the entire story, so you proceed cautiously because if you have a brain in your head, you can see she's possibly a victim.  Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like that is what happened.

I don't think the order of these allegations (emphasis on allegations) is coincidental:

 

40.

ASHLEY believed, correctly, that others were aware of something inappropriate going on between her and LOVE. She did not know how to stop the situation. She continued to fear that WILLIAMS would blame ASHLEY for WILLIAMS’ Associate Head Coach initiating this relationship. She feared that WILLIAMS would retaliate against her. She was also concerned  that WILLIAMS’ husband, who was a personal friend of LOVE, was posting suggestive emojis on ASHLEY’s social media account.

41.

LOVE began to pressure ASHLEY to participate in a sexual “threesome” with him and an undisclosed second man. She refused.

That’s the part I can’t wrap my head around. How on earth does someone in AW position not realize the sensitivity of that situation, and the responsibility she had to protect her player, and not know how to proceed with caution?

Sometimes even when policies are in place they get ignored. Agree Williams seems like someone who would follow the rules in place. But sometimes poor judgement calls get made.

How has the media coverage been?  NTV led their news with the Scoggins lawsuit.  Did KOLN or the Omaha stations even cover the allegations?

I can't tell you that. I don't watch the news.

[KZRider]

It is now a FoxNews story.

Looks like they have articles on their websites.  The national media picked it up yesterday.  Saw it on ESPN, Fox, NBC, etc.  There's also a thread on reddit (no, I didn't start it).

Some things just never go away. Nebraska is judged by the LP story from back in the 90's.

There's news local, regional, and national coverage everywhere. YouTube had maybe 5 posts that I saw that were reports by news stations.  Many of the sports websites are reporting the deal. So, it's well exposed in the news. I will missed the Omaha stations late today. Have to leave for an hour or so.

If it were me, I would have Included Love in the law suit.  Understand going after the University as they have deep pockets but Love is the one who took advantage of her.   I would go after him for every penny he has.  Attorney fees only would most likely bankrupt him.  

 

Love was included as a defendant in the lawsuit.

I think she is after one person in this lawsuit, that being Amy Williams. As pointed why not go after Love. I think it was stated here he is currently not coaching. So maybe she feels he is paying his price for his part in this. Granted she named UNL, Alberts, an Williams in the lawsuit. Also pointed out here how much Amy loves coaching here. What better way to get back at someone who you feel did not protect you or stand up for you as a women. JMHO.

Love was also named in the suit.

Another Scoggins report on ESPN's website today.

My question is did Ashley seek out this mess, or did a lawyer get a hold of the story and seek her out?  If it's the latter it's a bit concerning.  The lawyer promises big money and will get paid big money and really doesn't care if causes Ashley more harm.

I'm sitting here watching Scoggin play for UNLV tonight.  She's a solid player.  UNLV should make the NCAAs this year.

That’d be a hell of a draw with storylines.

I would hope (and expect) that the tournament schedulers would have the good sense to NOT set up a bracket where that would be a possibility at any level short of a regional final.
