I’m not sure what you mean by “around here,” but the general understanding around Vanderbilt’s campus is that while the stories may be somewhat exaggerated, the book overall is not untrue and the response from his teammates have just been intended to protect the University’s reputation. I’m sure you read about Stallings’ efforts to squash the book. As you can imagine, they have a lot of incentive to deny what he’s saying. I believe he’s already admitted to changing names, places etc. to avoid direct accusations or implicate others, and that was pretty much understood from the beginning. Some of us have heard evidence confirming some of the storied, despite what you might hear in social media.
I try to take a balanced approach to everything, positive or negative. I certainly agree that the basketball team does a lot of good and is full of great guys. I’m just saying the cultural issue can affect any group of guys.
