I believe that the University process is complete any further action would need to be done thru a lawsuit, I believe the only lawsuit that can be filed is against the U, due to the restraining order settlement.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the five initially charged were punished, and the five added after the EOAA investigation were cleared. That doesn't reflect well on the EOAA.
Yeah and suing her would open up the possibility that she can sue them... civil court uses a lower standard too, not sure anyone wants to go there.
I gotta think it would be best for both groups (the girl and the players) that they have nothing to do with each other and focus on healing / moving on.
At this point, do any of the players even plan to sue? I think it is time to move on.
If they do, what are the odds of them winning? What are the ramifications?
This is a fairly good summary:Do we have a summary of what the initial punishments were, and where we stand now?
The U was always careful about not violating privacy policies. The only thing the U ever said with names attached was that the players had been suspended for the bowl game. All the dots were connected by reporters, the players themselves, or their lawyers and parents.
Unless she violated the terms of the order. In any case, the smart move would be to leave her alone and go after the U for how terribly unfairly this was handled. Saw a great piece on Kaler helping a U student graduate early so that his terminally ill father could see it happen, and unfortunately, even though it reflects well on the U and Kaler, the difference between how they treated these five young men and that young man was one of the first things that came to mind (and, yes, the early graduate is a white kid).
They should not have released names. Michigan State didn't.

I'm not a Kaler fan, but I don't see going after him with the race card in the case of the graduating student with the terminally ill father as fair game. I expect he would have done the same for a diverse student as well.
Perhaps not, but the way the names were released in no way spelled out a connection to the proceedings around the sexual assault investigation. Of course, everyone made the connection but it wasn't explicitly stated that way from the U and I think they kept separation that way from violating any privacy guidelines/policies.
It should be noted that a large part of the seeming indifference towards the right of the players in this case and the accused in general in EOAA cases stem from financial incentives.
Thus far most of the lawsuits brought against schools seem to be to simply restore their student status and revoke expulsions. This is much, much cheaper for the schools than paying out large sums to alleged victims that might bring civil cases, meritorious or not.
It is expensive to fund civil cases vs the schools. Most students don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. Until some of the falsely accused start winning some big dollar judgments the Kalers of the world will ignore what's right and do the politically easy and expedient thing, which is feeding he lynch mob.

The Gophers had a game. Michigan St has not.
Stupid - that doesn't matter. With student and data privacy, they really should not have released the names. However, despite what little you know about how data privacy laws work, I know that you always seem to have the answer anyway. Also, it fit your narrative with wanting a coaching change at the time, so the best thing to do was release the names.
I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is a privacy policy surrounding athletic suspensions. It is far more common for schools to say "x player was suspended for the next game for y reason" than to not include a name. You're confusing two different policies, a student policy and an athletics policy.Stupid - that doesn't matter. With student and data privacy, they really should not have released the names.

Couldn't be farther from the truth.
So you think if Michigan St had a game, we'd still have no idea who got in trouble? When Hardin, Winfield etc didn't show up for the bowl game, we'd still be just guessing who the suspended ones would be? Please.
Wow, this became a QB starter thread?
