lol jon waters, you may be right about the university not directly attacking the band, but it is a by-product. People have retaliated against band alumni AND current members since the first news broke out (while in uniform, I might add), and they continue to. The "evidence" presented by the university displays actions by members, and the public sees it that way. In addition, has the university made any attempt to actively stop the retaliation against members? Have they made a public statement to say "Leave the band alone. It's Jon who's to blame for it all."? NO, they have not! They refuse to because it might damage their case. So, yes, the university is indirectly attacking the band but still uses their half-time shows for their own profit. To KenD, yes Jon was at-will, although why he was not under contract for his high-profile position eludes me. But let me ask you this: if the university did not need any reason at all to fire him, why go public with their reasoning? Why was it necessary for Dr. Drake to release a statement via a public YouTube channel to justify the reasoning? Why did the university have to start making so much noise about it from the get-go? All of the reasons in the university reports are based on half-truths and out-of-context fragments of facts, some are even outright lies; i.e. "E.R.V.'s" rookie trick was NOT to act like a vibrating sex toy; she went on the news and showed the world what it really was. Also, Alex Clark's rookie name was not "Jewoobs"; it was "Joobs," and she when on national news to explain how violated she felt by the mis-publication in the report. The spelling error appears to be intentional to make the name, paired with an explanation, more offensive and frightening than it really was. Jon's supporters simply want people to know the entire truth, because if someone is lying about you and your friends, wouldn't you feel the need to defend your character? The lawsuit is about far more than Jon's job, but also his reputation as a human being as well as the reputations of band members and alumni because, as I mentioned before, the membership is horribly tarnished, too.
