So here’s my question: Now that “rogue” prosecutor Mike Nifong has been justly stripped of his license to practice law, and David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann and ex-coach Mike Pressler have agreed to undisclosed settlements with the school that helped smear their names (and nearly destroy their lives), when, exactly, is somebody from the university going to be held accountable for the debacle at Duke?
Why is Athletic Director Joe “It’s Not About The Truth” Alleva, whom Pressler says forced him out the door and wanted no part in finding out what really happened on the night of March 13, 2006, still around?
Ditto for University President Richard Brodhead. For all his talk now about the “heavy toll” the scandal has taken and “resolve to bring the Duke family together again and to work to protect others from similar injustices,” when the shit hit the fan down in Durham, his only resolve was to protect the school’s ass and its almighty image. And if that meant a rush to judgment…well, so be it.
If it were up to me, both Alleva and Brodhead would be collecting unemployment for not believing in the presumption of innocence, not believing in members of their so-called “family” in the first place.
Given what has already happened, it’s doubtful either man will ever be held accountable. In the end, I hope one coach and three players really made them pay.
