clearly Mr. Forsyth has never had the "pleasure" of dealing with the
NC$$ committee on infractions, and hence does not have sufficient
context to properly make his unfortunate accusation that Mr. Joubert
is somehow leveling accusations at the University of Maine.  Mr.
Forsythe has to understand that
1) when he assumes, he is assuming incorrectly.
2) The institution seems to have little control of the timing of an
   NC$$ investigation
3) Mr. Joubert MAY (repeat) MAY PERHAPS (repeat) PERHAPS POSSIBLY
   (repeat) POSSIBLY have been intending to remark that by delaying
   completion of their investigation, the NC$$ is improperly
   penalizing Maine by causing this investigatory cloud to hang over
   maine and hence be an impediment to Maine's recruiting
