This post is with the assumption that Flood did not act in a manner that would be par for the course at UNC.

If all Flood did was violate the rule regarding contact between Prof and Coach, and review of the email shows no ill-intentioned requests, why not immediately come out with "Flood suspended 1 game for improper correspondence with professor"???

I don't understand any reason for a long review process. Review the email as it pertains to the code and be done with it. Come out with news of the suspension and then everyone can move on.

The only reason for a long review would be to check into previous emails. But Flood did not bring that to light until after the news leaked.

Those on here who have functioned at a relatively high executive level know that's not how compliance investigations work. The process at RU is very typical of that followed in the business world where federal laws and regulations make business compliance in highly regulated industries an absolute priority. Academic integrity is a very sensitive subject particularly when student athletes are involved. Let the investigation play its course, it has to be done correctly and thoroughly, especially now that this is a relatively high profile issue.

Also, in this particular case- remember - its a big transition time. Between people being on vacation at the end of the summer, and people being overworked due to the beginning of the new school year, its likely that even if things normally went fast, they probably wouldnt at this exact moment.
 
It is not just that matter of this specific email, regardless of whether Kyle said that he has been in contact with professors in the past, the investigation was going to look for any other contact between Kyle and the faculty.
 
Why not just wipe the e-mail server and maybe everybody will forget about it and move on?
