"He [McShane] said the administrative process that the players received before their long-term suspensions 'came from an agreement between the parties and, during that time, (the players) were well-represented by their attorneys.' ”

This assertion by McShane is manifestly untrue since the long-term suspensions, which in real life are tantamount to permanent expulsion, represent the worst possible action the UO could take.  UO can not give jail or levy fines.  The agreement could not have been the result of an informed due process which the players would agree to because it could not have been worse for them.  In other words, given their complete loss of everything in the "agreement" they had zero motivation to agree.

The UO decision was fickle and based on internal rhetoric regarding "rape culture" circulating at the time.  It was, IMHO, very similar to the decision of Schill to humiliate and sanction the Professor who wore black make-up in her home.  I hope their appeal prevails.
