The unfortunate part of all of this (and MU went through it a few years ago) is that you can only get one side.

The Bross kid and his mom can say anything about Wardle they want, true or not, and Wardle and the university can not publicly respond because of privacy laws. MU went through the same thing.

Bad press for the school and the people involved who can not respond to the allegations. Just like with MU, without a full blown trial the truth may never really come out. All we are left with is the kids accusations and whatever some newspaper wants to write, even if they are not all truthful.

I hope Wardle survives this and it doesn't affect his ability to coach and recruit going forward. If some of these accusations are not truthful, I hope that comes out too, but I doubt it.

Unfortunately our society is one where the majority of the people are interested in the juicy parts of a story when it comes out, form an opinion based on that, and could care less what happens later as they have moved on. This is the real problem for Wardle.
