Discredited tweets, misread and misinterpreted social media posts and secret information are not facts.
I will keep monitoring to see if any facts do come out. Hoping for the best.

I think you're going to be disappointed, AlwaysRight. This might not be like the Rittman mess in softball where there was Stanford's internal inquiry, a determination of NCAA violations and other facts that were made public. With the current situation, all of us, myself included, are probably biased by the underperformance of the women's basketball team the past two seasons. When you combine that with the unprecedented exodus of starters and major contributors to the transfer portal, we are going to read and believe things according to our biases.
It's not that any of us are intentionally trying to deceive you or anyone else. We're fans on a sports discussion board. We're not current athletes, we're not current coaches or administrators. We're not neutral, we're not always right--yeah, I said it--but we all want what's best for the student-athletes, the sports teams for which they play and Stanford University.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
