To be fair to KSU, I'm taking Leti's version with a grain of salt after yelling blackmail without knowing what the word meant.  That is not to say KSU wasn't wrong about the whole thing.

It's kinda funny how I'm just now informing myself about the situation now that it's over. I didn't know she led the team in scoring as a freshmen. Pretty clear we were just pissed she was leaving and assumed (probably rightly so) that deb was stealing her.

It's really, really dumb to try to keep kids from doing what they want. You just come off looking like petty bullies.

Meh, enough stuff was proven by multiple parties to warrant a block.

Obviously not.  Seeing as how the facts seemed to say there wasn't any tampering.

Unless Currie was playing mind games with Leti and he got burned by it.

Where are you getting your "facts" about no tampering being found?

Well, mainly this:



Ah, figured as much. Please find me the quote from that letter where it says an investigation found no tampering.

Look.  I get it.  Either there was tampering or there wasn't is what I am guessing the appeals committee is saying.  Currie put Leti in this position and then tried as hard as he could to make it look as though the University itself was the reason she was denied. 

Was there tampering?  Currie says yes in the beginning.  But then says he learned new facts?  Seems like a Yes or No question.

Jesus Christ. There was probably tampering, but when we started to look like dumb jerks in the media the benefit of keeping a womens basketball player in the program was outweighed by the fact that we were starting to look like dumb jerks. Get it?

The thing is, if there was evidence of tampering, Currie (or one of his representatives) should have met with Leti and told her they wanted to wait and see where her former coaches ended up before they reached a decision on her release. Seems completely reasonable, and could have saved a lot of embarrassment.

You can't wait, though. You have 7 days, by rule, to release or no. From Currie's point of view, within those 7 days he wasn't comfortable giving a release because of all the info he had.

So why wasn't this explained to Leti? Or was it and she's a big fat liar?

Yes, the transfer request policy and timeline was explained. It is also in the student-athlete handbook, I think.

oh, so it was in the handbook. no need for an explanation!

I have no problem believing that K-State royally mumped up this whole situation and that Romero Leti was willing to lie to make them look even worse. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Really a bad deal for Currie.

Doing his job in protecting the interests of the athletic department but not given any time by the player in question to fully ascertain the circumstances at hand and mitigate them before the player ran to the media.   Then tossed under the bus by the media regarding a situation that he legally could not publicly comment on.   

He then fully vetted the situation, recommended to the committee (part of the procedural process that could not be circumvented) that the player in question be allowed to transfer. 

The committee apparently led by gEmaw too cool for schooler favorite  Pat Bosco ignores Currie's recommendation and denies the transfer request.

Currie must then take more heat because the committee ignores his recommendation and he is still unable to publicly comment on the situation in any detail while working to amend the policy in place.   

Currie then gets the K-State Athletics Inc. to amend the in place policy, and the player in question is granted a full release, in the interim between board approval of the amendment and release, Currie must  contend with incompetence by compliance staff in the athletic department.

Here's what Currie could have done that could potentially avoid a shitshow:

1) Meet with Leti, explaining the situation as best you can BEFORE she goes to the media. Like, I don't know, ask her about her plans, like he supposedly did in his super secret confidential letter signed in purple sharpie.
2) If she goes to the media saying she has no idea why the transfer was denied, Currie can say, "Well, there's some things I can't talk about, and we're still doing research, but I've met with Leti and explained the situation as best I could."

That makes him look SO MUCH BETTER. IMO the media picked up on it mostly because of the lack of an explanation presented to Leti. If Currie can show he met with her, he looks a lot better.

Poor Currie.  Impossible for a guy like him to have easily seen this coming before he made a complete fool of himself.

Even too cool for schoolers must be asking if we're paying Currie enough.

Really cRusty? I know you replied with such zeal because that's the best you've got against Currie.

Save your rage for goEMAW favorite Pat Bosco and company.

Admit it too cool for schoolers, you just want a wide open door for transfers, which is just stupid and you know it.

Due diligence was done, Currie recommended that she be given her release and the committee disregarded the recommendation.

Meh, there was a lot of dumb, but it's over. Currie messed up a lot, but the PR was decent at the end.

It wasn't a simple misunderstanding.   It was made needlessly complex by an outdated policy.
