It’s entirely possible for this to have been a consensual relationship.
That isn’t the lawsuit.
The lawsuit is based on the punitive measures against the victim, who is 100% of the time the student. She was removed from the team immediately and probably shouldn’t have been.
I don’t see how Alberts will be in any hot water over this, but Williams could definitely be in it if that meeting was accurate. UNL is claiming it wasn’t.
As for the consensual nature of the relationship, there’s no reason to even speculate about it because it is so entirely wrong from the coach’s standpoint. All of those other examples of trying to normalize this behavior with past anomalies are simply adding other garbage humans eyeballing their players/students to the pile. It’s wrong.
