[QUOTE="GTpdm, post: 791239, member: 1451"] Exactly. It was not the time or place for Cabrera to butt in front of Nell and start man-splaining how he was going to fix equity problems at Tech. It would generate an awful look. Besides, it makes no sense to want [I]our president[/I] to respond to an equity complaint directed [I]at the NCAA[/I], by talking about action we would take at Georgia Tech. Doing so would be a tacit admission that we were guilty of the same disregard of women's sports as the NCAA. (A) [I]Why the hell would anyone want our president to lie GT down in bed with the NCAA?[/I] [B]Nobody[/B] likes the NCAA, so here's a great idea: let's plant the image in everyone's mind that GT is as bad about respecting women athletes as the NCAA has been. (2) Isn't the MaChelle Joseph gender inequity lawsuit still pending? If Cabrera made the sort of public announcement that Liberty suggested, he'd be providing a smoking gun for Jospeh's lawyer. "Oh really? So now you are openly admitting that you've been violating Title IX? Great—thanks! See you in court!" Best thing Cabrera could have done in this situation was to show his support for Nell, quietly but clearly, and let this thing play out—you know, like he actually did. [/QUOTE]
