00:00
I want to talk to him about this Todd Golden story that you ran.
00:09
Listen, it's disturbing, right?
00:12
Like I didn't know, like the more I read it, I was like, what is going on here?
00:17
Am I to believe that this guy was harassing, allegedly, like co-eds, like college students?
00:24
Well, we don't know for sure, but we know that there's been a Title IX complaint filed
00:29
against him, and what is compelling to me, Scott, is that this is not a he said, she
00:35
said situation.
00:36
At that point, you really kind of have to let the whole process play out before making
00:42
any judgment at all, but there are multiple complainants here, and that's one of the reasons
00:47
why it's surprising that the University of Florida has allowed him to continue coaching.
00:53
And remember, this isn't just about he coached against Grambling State on Monday night.
00:58
This Title IX complaint was filed basically in advance of even practice beginning, and
01:05
they've continued to allow him to coach the team.
01:08
So either they know something that no one else knows, or they're just going to play
01:14
it by the numbers until they have a ruling that would be negative to Golden.
01:20
If they get a ruling that would be negative to Golden, they're going to continue in this
01:25
direction.
01:27
There supposedly is photographic evidence.
01:30
I think that would be something that would be compelling as well.
01:35
So whether any of it's true, we can't know until this plays out.
01:40
But the fact that there were multiple complainants is certainly something that turned my head.
01:44
Mike, I mean, there's I read your story.
01:47
It was so disturbing.
01:49
This guy's taking photos of himself naked, allegedly, and sending it to women, allegedly.
01:55
And then the stalking allegations of him driving around taking pictures of people where
02:02
they are and sending those said pictures to those individuals, kind of creeping them out
02:07
that I know where you are, and here I am taking photos of you and sending them to them.
02:13
That stuff's crazy.
02:16
It is a very strange situation for sure.
02:20
I don't know what the University of Florida sees here, that they're not at least interrupting
02:27
the season relative to Todd Golden, but there's something that they're that they're standing
02:34
behind him and allowing him to coach.
02:36
So it's hard to say.
02:38
But as I said, if this were one person who who alleged these things, and we've seen similar
02:45
to this when one person alleged, and it's a lot of those circumstances that the allegations
02:50
proved habitual.
02:52
But this is this is multiple people.
02:56
And to me, that's what that's what one of the reasons why I'm surprised he's continuing
03:00
to coach.
03:01
Not that he would continue to coach in the future.
03:04
But with multiple complaints, I would have thought Florida said, hold on a second here.
03:08
We need to we really need to look at this.
03:10
But certainly the Title Nine office is looking at it.
03:14
But the athletic department is allowing Todd Golden to continue coaching.
03:19
Coached last night.
03:20
I'm sure he'll be there the next time the Gators take the court.
03:25
Because these processes, they don't they don't take a few days or even a month.
03:29
They certainly take time.
03:30
And so as long as Florida is saying, OK, then he'll be out there.
