Again, I don't have to know what he said. I know what harm the actions of players who didn't know what acceptable behavior off the field is. It is evident there was a breakdown between what the players thought they could do and what the hunters in the EOAA would use to try to crucify the football program.
All the parties responsible for the football program, players, coaches, trainers, athletic department personnel, were not in agreement with what "outsiders" would use to attack the program. They had no idea what they were up against. That is obvious because here we are struggling with the potential expulsion of players from the University.
Whatever was said, or expressed, was not enough to keep five players and a recruit from engaging in behavior off the field that was harmful to reputation of the football program. Behavior that opened the door for the EOAA to harm the reputations of five additional players with their wide ranging investigation.
So if you are hung up on people being accurate about what was said, then you are missing the point that it wasn't enough to keep players from harming the football program and drawing an administrative monster down on them.
