There is nothing wrong with taking the guy out of the program to figure everything out. He would still have a year of eligibility, and if he played more than four games and they had to request a waiver for a fifth season, it's likely granted, provided he was the wronged party in this instance.....but that doesn't seem to be the case. You aren't getting it. The revenge law is still relatively new and isn't what Washington is facing anymore either way: It doesn't factor him because he sent it to her as opposed to a third party. For all intents and purposes, by the statement we have been given, the coaching staff didn't know of the severity of the allegations. Washington's real crime was keeping a video from his high school days on his phone. That's what he's really getting nailed for. If you took a picture of yourself after a shower with your phone as a teenager? Child porn. Even if it's just one of yourself. The laws are as strict as they are confusing. And Washington will pay for it. But none of this is a scandal like you geniuses claim. The university didn't cover anything up. They aren't at fault here despite how desperate you are to paint them in that light. It's a legal issue that happened long before he was a student at the school. They were letting the law do it's job instead of jumping to half assed conclusions like you are. The reason Tannor was sent so far from home for school is to remove him from bad influences. It clearly didn't help enough. Washington on the other hand had even more red flags and knows he's using up his chances. Since he's been a part of the school he's kept his head down. This was an incident from before his enrollment and is being treated as such. He is cooperating fully and for all intents and purposes should get the same verdict as one of the people who had actually been involved with the situation: Probation.

"The investigator also reached out to the University of Nebraska Lincoln Police Department to try to contact Washington. The investigator was eventually contacted by Jamie Vaughn, Senior Associate Athletic Director for Compliance for the UNL Athletic Department, on September 13th. Vaughn said he had spoken to the UNL football staff, and “they were concerned about him needing a lawyer”. Vaughn indicated to the Attorney General investigator he would attempt to schedule an interview date for the investigator to speak with Washington. On Sept. 14, the investigator was contacted by attorney Jon Bruning, who indicated he had been contacted by the UNL Athletic Department about Washington. The investigator "informed Mr. Bruning about the nature of the case", and Bruning "indicated he would speak with Maurice and Maurice's coaches and then let Investigator Sexton know if Investigator Sexton would be able to interview Maurice. Bruning contacted investigators five days later, and said he had briefly spoken to Washington about the case and was told he did “not know what Mr. Bruning was talking about and he was befuddled by it,” court documents state. The investigator again requested an interview with Washington." Straight from the article I posted on page 2. It is pretty clear that at least someone in the athletic department had an idea of how severe this was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winitall Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Fun Fact: That conversation between the AD of Compliance for Nebraska and investigators happened on September 13th. Two days later Washington lead Nebraska in rushing yards against Troy with 14 carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On September 13, Vaughn spoke with Ed Sexton in the Nebraska Attorney General’s office. He was told that the Nebraska Attorney General’s office was cooperating with a California agency and that Sexton wished to speak to Maurice Washington on their behalf. Sexton noted Maurice Washington was not in any trouble in Nebraska, and would not say if Washington was the subject of the inquiry of the California agency, a witness to a matter being investigated or anything related to the nature of why the California agency wished to speak with Washington. Vaughn stated he would look into the possibility of arranging for an interview. Vaughn had no further conversations with the Nebraska Attorney General’s office and Washington retained an attorney. No one was covering up for a freshman third string RB that was playing for an winless team at the time. So Washington's garbage time carries were not fun at all.

Quick history lesson on Scott Frost. When Lawrence Phillips threw a woman down three flights of stairs and smashed her head into a mailbox, it happened at Scott Frost's apartment. Scott Frost had just left the apartment, but left her there. And Frost did absolutely jack about it. (We don't know exactly why, but my guess is Frost found out Phillips knew he was banging Phillips' ex-girlfriend and was on his way over to kick the crap out of him, so he bailed.) Expecting him to do anything decent here is not a winning bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
