NCAA investigation along with a federal investigation. Not looking good in Missoula.
 
Wow, its just one thing after another up there, but I guess thats what happens when you have year in and year out cases of assault charges
 
I feel bad for UM and my friends in Missula. It only goes down hill from here. The fired personel have no reason to hold back now. Once an investigation starts, you never really know where it will end. It could expand to other programs and issues that are yet to be uncovered. The worst thing they can do is try to hide anything. You get into more trouble trying to cover up or misslead, than just telling the trueth. If you say, 'I don't know or remember', they hit you with lack of institutional control, and it get worse from there. Better to just come clean and take your medicine. Just a little friendly advise. :twocents:
 
It goes from bad to worse for the Grizz. Maybe the NCAA Enforcement Committee read some posts on Egrizz and decided they had no choice but to investigate.

I read on Egrizz they had 80 charges of sexual assaults in a 3 year span. Not good for the UM and not good for the conference. Will UM get a death sentence...

Everything surrounding the University of Montana is starting to become one big joke. :roll:

Of course we all knew what kind of a site Egriz was

Wow!?! Seriously? First, I don't excuse the actions of the UM football team. Yes, I'm sure there have been a number of sexual assaults and issues that need to be addressed and prosecuted, which weren't. That is the issue that has been happening in Missoula, over and over again. Those individuals in authority, who, probably due to allegiance to the football team, rather than to justice, decided to overlook cases and let the offender slide, when instead they should have been prosecuted by the full extent of the law. If they are guilty then so be it, if not, then they return back to life. It isn't up to Grizz fans to decided whether or not a player is guilty but the law and if those responsible to the law can't/won't based on fan allegiance then they shouldn't hold their positions and should have the Department of Justice breathing down their ass. The "boys will be boys" crap needs to end.

Second, WTF?? Really?? A reporter who is angry at a bunch of immature men writes about it in her newspaper? I've only taken 1 journalism class in my educational career, but in it I learned you, as a reporter, don't use the paper as a instrument of vengence. Journalists are required to be unbiased and fair. Their top priority is to publish FACTS, not to use an article to attack an institution, even one as gross and biased as Egrizz (Montana's should be absolutely embarrassed that Egrizz, for many fans of football, becomes the face of Montana). Granted, if she writes and Op-Ed column, she has the right to say what she wants, but it is seen as opinion, not facts.

Third, holy SHIT!!! Honestly, are the men of Montana as stupid as they sound on Egrizz and the comments of the missoulan? UM fans are constantly trying to claim that one reason they shouldn't belong in the Sky, is that they are such an amazing academic institution. That they are so academically superior to any other Sky school, that, evidently, they should be in a better conference. First, academic record isn't pushing realignment, but football prowess, hence why Boise State can move to bigger conferences (Boise State is on par with the DATC or Fran Brown Cosmetology school). Second, if UM were such a strong academic institution, you'd think their graduates would present a more honorable, polished, mature, and responsible damenor than what is exhibited on EGrizz. A school is represented best by its fans and graduates. To me, due to Egrizz and the idiots (most probably never went to college, its like the majority of Utahans who are either Y or U fans who have never spent 1min on eitherr campus) who post on that site, I have a very low opinion of Montana and the University of Montana's academic record. What a joke of a school.

The NCAA and the DOJ needs to make sure Montana is greatly humbled. Not for their atheles, but more for the immature idiots that call themselves men and fans. Chivalry, respect, honor, and duty are merely words in a punchline for Montana's not something they actually understand, regard, or do. Men would honor, protect, and defend their community and women, not in Montana.

After purps rant, I don't think I have much to say. Funny how backwards Montana really is. Total Wanks of Egrizz.

Still more . . . .

MISSOULA — University of Montana quarterback Gerald Kemp has been dismissed from the football team for what school officials say was a violation of team rules, but did not offer details.

Interim Athletic Director Jean Gee told the Missoulian (http://bit.ly/MtsHME" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) that Kemp’s dismissal is not related to his arrest in October when police used a stun gun to subdue him and another player, cornerback Trumaine Johnson, as officers tried to break up a party.

Both pleaded no contest in December to disorderly conduct charges.

The school didn’t announce Kemp’s dismissal, but his name didn’t appear on a team roster on Friday. Junior quarterback Jordan Johnson remains listed.

Kemp, of San Diego, was about to start his senior year. Last season he passed for 218 yards and ran for 223, scoring four touchdowns.

And still more . . . .

University of Montana quarterback Jordan Johnson, accused in March of rape, was formally charged late Tuesday afternoon with sexual intercourse without consent.

The felony charge, which carries a potential sentence of two years to life in prison, was filed just before the close of business in Missoula County District Court by Suzy Boylan, assistant chief deputy county attorney.

Johnson was immediately suspended from the Grizzlies football team, which is scheduled to start practice Monday, said UM President Royce Engstrom. That suspension continues until the outcome of legal proceedings.

Guarantee that Kemp gets re-instated to team.

Agreed. YIKES!! UM football is a joke. So much for character and integrity. If Kemp is reinstated, there goes any respect I had for Delaney. Same ole system. Nothing ever changes.
 
First post here, and only decided to post to defend the "honor" and "integrity" of Montanans. First, it is pretty naive to assume that the fans who post on an athletic forum represent the values of an entire state, or an entire academic institution. Second, while there are certainly a lot of jerks on egriz, there are also a lot of good folks, who simply go there to get up to date info and occassionally post (such as myself). Finally, there are plenty of Griz fans who are certainly tired of the perpetual bad news that surrounds our program, but will continue to support the athletes who remain on the team and who do things the right way. They are the unfortunate casualties of this mess, who are being stereotyped at the moment, as if everyone on the team were bad apples. "Up with Montana boys, down with the foe!!!"
 
Agreed. I feel sorry for the guys that must suffer the consequences for the actions of others. Hopefully the penalties will be strong and swift for the guilty and leave the innocent alone. Those involved in the cover up, Administration, city officials, players should be punished. I feel sorry for the hard working innocent student athletes caught up in the mess. Shame on those the believe "talent is an excuse for bad behavior" ! :ohno:
