Same feelings here, guys.

Agree... Rich is a solid person. Collateral damage. I am sure he will be helping someone else in the not too distant future. There probably wold be no C2 championship if not for him.

Do Sean a favor: shut up and trust the process. If he’s clean it’ll be proven

If you are referring to the accusations against Sean it will be up to the independent investigators the new YEA board has hired to review this issue. If Sean is innocent as he claims then the investigation will bare this out. If not... he will be out. The new board is very focused on stabilizing the organization, empowering the staff to make decisions and moving as quickly as they can to clean up what will soon be looked at as one of the most significant failures in non-profit management ever seen in the United States across ALL non-profits. As for GH... he will be made to account for his actions. And I suspect there may be some liability for the thankfully former board members as well.

IF GH winds up getting Indicted it will come down to who knew and when they knew. 

 

Much like the case of Sandusky.

 

Sean can very well find himself in the same position that Greg Schiano found himself with at the UT Vols. In case you did not follow that debacle. Greg SChiano was offered a job by then Athletic Director John Currie. Reports were that John Currie was on the ground fueled up in a private plane with Greg Schiano with a signed offer in hand ready to head back to Knoxville when word leaked out on campus that Greg Schiano was fixing to be named head Coach. Greg Schiano name was kicked around in the Sandusky case but he was only named in the case as someone who MIGHT have had knowledge of a reported incident when in fact he never did. But that did not keep the students at UT from threatening to burn the school to the ground and ultimately keeping The Chancellor from pulling the plug on the Greg SChiano Hiring costing him a 8 million dollar a year deal for 5 years. All because his name was linked to the Sandusky Scandal.

I do believe the new board of directors has been acting quickly and with purpose to help stabilize the organization... even in light of today's news. Even to just get seated as a board was a Herculean task (some people just do not recognize when they have overstayed their welcome. Doug Rutherford has provided some badly needed leadership and decisiveness. There is a lot of work to be done. They seem to have a plan and a punch list to get things under control across all aspects of the organization AND make sure investigations are conducted and systems are in place to support the victims (those both know and yet to be known). It truly is "one day at a time" right now. As they learn new ways to operate there will be lessons to be shared with other corps across DCI for I am fairly certain this is not something just isolated to YEA. My hope for the group now is they have a moment or two to catch their breath before another story or better yet find all the stories and get them out for all to see. Full disclosure. Full transparency.

WEll if these Allegations do turn out to be true GH will be in good company with Harvey Weinstein. Kevin Spacey. Charlie Rose. John Conyers. Roy Moore., Garrison Keillor. And Matt Lauer.

Could be. But Sean has never been a GH apologist. There are a ton of people that have worked for YEA over the years. All of them were unaware of these terrible incidents. When you read the stories it is clear that the perpetrator had strategies that were used (Bars, Hotels, Apartments). I have yet to say these things happened in the office for all to see. They may have... but we do not know that as of now. It is also important to note that Sean was a contractor/consultant and not an employee. He runs his own marketing firm that did work for YEA. It is not like he was a coach on the team. (to use your analogy). Let's see what the investigators find. If there is something there... you may be right.

Rich was slowly working on an exit plan before this

Of course Katie Couric seemed to get a pass from the public when her video surfaced from early 2000 when she basically said Matt Lauer was a creep . Everyone seemed to know Matt Lauer was a creep and did nothing because of who he was. Ditto on Harvey Weinstein and a equally telling video with Courtney Love warning Young Actresses but that did not seem to hurt their careers.

Except for the most recent allegation that says Sean knew?
