Is Boeheim getting a pass?

    I'm not entirely sure Fine has been tied to any of Fine's actions.

    Except according to his own wife, on tape.

    That's a good point. Boeheim has never been seen as anything close to a saint. He was known as such a dickhead for so long. By most accounts he has mellowed considerably over the last decade or so.

    I truly don't believe that Boeheim knew anything. Maybe we'll find out differently someday.

    Unless not.

    Now, with Floyd VanHooser admitting publicly that he lied when he said Fine molested him as a child, maybe the public and the media are prepared to consider the real possibility that the supposedly damning, secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation between Laurie Fine and Bobby Davis doesn’t reveal what everyone thinks it does.

    There’s a chance, as Fine’s wife insinuated on the tape, the “crime” Bernie Fine got away with for decades was living in the closet as a gay man, not child molestation.

    I remember seeing that initial interview with the accuser and something just didn't seem right.

    Go back to the original Syracuse thread and there were a lot of people here who didn't think everything was adding up.

    The whole thing makes more sense if the "secret" Bernie Fine is hiding is that he's an active homosexual with adult men outside his marriage.
