This string is why I don’t tell normal people that I post or pay attention to the forum.
Peers sister just transferred to Cuse. She and the other Monster girls are the safest ones in the recruiting class. The remaining YJ girls and Heros girls are the ones to worry about. Neither have any ties to upstate NY and the Heros girls in my mind could probably go to any school she chooses.Relax77 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:53 pmultravisitor wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:47 pmI think there's another: will Syracuse ever win at least one other ACC tournament?

Two things to look for as an indication of what might happen next.
1. If more players decide to jump ship

We’ll see if Spallina’s 2025 Defender leaves. If Peers from Monster leaves it’s a disaster. Who am I am kidding. It’s a disaster already.
Facing uncertainty and confusion about college sports funding post the NCAA antitrust case, this is exactly what an Athletic Director does not want to deal with from a non-revenue sport. I mentioned before in a different thread that I was not surprised by the lack of turnover on lacrosse coaching positions. If I were an AD sure I would want my non-revenue teams to win, but a “must” is to avoid negative publicity, have high GPA’s & high graduation rates. My coach achieves the off field “musts”, I am less likely to want to conduct a job search on a replacement and maybe look over the won/lost record.LaxEveryDay wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2024 1:07 pm This is all true. More people found out at the coaches convention. If KT ends up being fired for violating policy, it won't be because she violated policy with another woman. It's because she violated policy by having a relationship with a subordinate. I doubt TG would come back because she was friends with Kayla and is probably upset with her behavior. GG also knows and would probably steer his daughter away from coaching at Cuse due to the scandal and bad media that is most likely to follow from it. I wouldn't want my kid to coach with someone who violated policy in such a way, especially if I coached that girl. I wonder if he feels disappointed in any way.
I also agree with the person that said most likely nothing will happen if she were found to be violating policy. Cuse compliance has been turning their heads to her violating NCAA policies since she started coaching there. I wouldn't be surprised if nothing is done for her violating a policy this time.
The athletic department wouldn't have to deal with a discrimination lawsuit. Or at least they shouldn't have to because, in my opinion, it wouldn't be smart for KT to file a discrimination lawsuit after she was fired for violating a policy.
Violating policy would be the reasoning for her fire if anything, not because they're both females in a relationship together.
At least this isn’t why I follow the sport.Womenslaxxfan wrote: ↑Mon Jul 01, 2024 8:32 am This string is why I don’t tell normal people that I post or pay attention to the forum.

Well sure, but Virginia knew of Sonia and Mike being married already, or Kelly and Scott at Northwestern, or Mandy and Kevin at Florida or pretty much everywhere else where the relationships were disclosed (same sex or not). It isn't just the affair but it was not disclosing an employee and subordinate relationship to syracuse admin (which didn't happen since it was again, an affair). HR/PR nightmare right now in western New York. Players must be psyched!!!laxlaxlax wrote: ↑Tue Jul 02, 2024 9:57 pmThere are a number of other HC and Assistant relationships within D1 women’s lacrosse.Kleizaster wrote: ↑Sun Jun 30, 2024 11:08 pm If all that is alleged here is indeed true..i don't see how KT keeps her job.

The issue here will be the affair not the relationship but even then I don’t think KT will lose her job.

Nope. Only if they didn’t disclose it (b/c then the might open themselves up for a battle with HR policy at UMich). And as long as one of them wasn’t married, there isn’t a level of deceit and secrecy as well.Djkhalid wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 3:02 pmintheknow247 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2024 11:33 amWell sure, but Virginia knew of Sonia and Mike being married already, or Kelly and Scott at Northwestern, or Mandy and Kevin at Florida or pretty much everywhere else where the relationships were disclosed (same sex or not).

Does the HC at Michigan marrying the AC become an issue ?
