If he did in fact cover it up or intentionally fail to do due diligence (not saying that they did, just the big "if"), I would feel gross supporting a program that reacts that way to sexual assault. It seems like he directed the investigation to the proper channels according to that piece, though.

I understand that the biggest issue is likely that these women wouldn't come forward, won't make public accusations, won't speak publicly about it period (for now), and the university can claim a lack of credible evidence for dismissal until new information arrived... but if that's the case, then SAY THAT. Say in the presser that you received information a year ago, had conducted a lengthy investigation in order to try to gather any evidence whatsoever, to avoid dismissing a player based on whispers, and recently found/heard enough to merit dismissal. Don't play this coy shit. Call the fucker out. Turn all the evidence you gathered over to the police and have the county investigate him further. Full disclosure is the name of the game.
