Timeline re: MSU alleged assault info and NSD
Per the Freep's FOIA requests, the timeline was as follows:
Jan 16 - alleged assault occurs
Jan 16 or 17 - alleged assault is reported to police (not clear since they say assault occurred at 2 a.m. and was reported "the next day")
Feb 1 - National Signing Day
Feb 2 - contract is signed to conduct internal Title IX investigation (though investigation may have started prior to that day)
Feb 9 - MSU statement says report of assault was made to police in "late January" (giving impression that action was taken quickly) and Blackwell is suspended
Feb 10 - MSU hires Jones Day to complete investigation of football program compliance with university policy on sexual assault
Feb 16 - MSU sends internal findings of criminal investigation to Ingham County prosecutor
Dunno how I feel. Looks a bit shady, but a few weeks is still pretty quick for an internal investigation.
But how long did it take Dave B. to figure out whether or not Morris had a concussion, or even saw a doctor?
Three weeks does not earn MSU an Olympic Gold medal for speed, but it's not horrible either.
Apples meet oranges. Wow there is as little similarity between these two incidents as is possible.
It may just be me, but it didn't seem like much to glean from this. Even a few of the dates weren't concrete or confirmed. To me it seemed like freep just wanted to get something, anything out there before anyone else. The only halfway useful/insightful snippet was the NSD-Blackwell part and even that was connecting dots that may or may not be nefarious.
There is nothing in the OP that tells you what Blackwell's offense was or when he committed it.
I agree that there's not a whole lot to this. However, it is a good thing that they are filing FOIA requests and keeping it in the news occasionally. To be honest with you, I had already kind of forgot about it.
It's good to keep pressure on them (both MSU and the prosecutors office) to make sure that nothing is swept under the rug and dealt with properly.
on it until after National Signing Day really helped hold together that stellar recruiting class D'ontarellio put together.
Are you saying they sat on this info for more than 3-9 days so they could make it through signing day? Preposterous.
They weren't protecting anything of value
23-32 days it usually takes for these kind of cases no?
That GIF from Zootopia reminds me of all the times I've been to the Secretary Of State on a Monday, not to mention to an exceptionally and annoyingly careful notary public. Point taken, all the same, of course.
Their class sucks anyways
And Donovan Winter thought it'd be more efficient to get arrested prior to signing with MSU.
Those Sparty away games that are on the same year as Ohio State away games are looking easier and easier by the day.
Thank goodness it's not somebody tough like Maryland.
It would be on THREE times a day on NINE different channels.
