I agree that there's really not much to discuss here within the parameters of what is acceptable on the forum and this thread in particular.
As someone who watched that season with great interest (one of the only years that rival this one from a talent and excitement perspective) I remember thinking through the season that Magette was likely playing himself into the draft. But I don't see any remote relevance to the topic at hand.
I do agree that K has to date earned the benefit of the doubt; if he says last week is the first he heard of it, until it is proven otherwise, I will believe him.
From there, the question I have is "should he have learned about the allegation." In other words, was the administration somehow protecting him in a "need to know" sort of way. This would be incredibly difficult to prove, barring some sort of paper trail that explicitly spells out something like "let's bury this, don't tell K."
If, instead, it's some degree of bureaucratic nonsense that did not make its way through the chain of command, that's certainly still disturbing, but not as upsetting to me as a basketball fan.
I would hope this sort of thing wouldn't happen at Duke (or anywhere), but if anything remotely untoward happened in the aftermath, I sincerely hope there have been lessons learned and protocols established.
