Uhhh, there's a big elephant in the flamesfan room. There were a group of posters here, some from NC, who were friends with trey. Even went into business with him I think. Or am I misremembering. It was 12 years ago.

Yeah, so. This is the more I was referring to.

At this point I’m not aware of other stories in the queue, but it ought to be crystal clear from this one that there are likely other stories out there.

He didn't play in Trey's band. I remember that band getting booed at coffee house. Who would've guessed all of this was going on.

The sex part is bad but all the alcohol use is crazy. Especially considering how many people I knew who got fined or kicked out for drinking. All the while the drinks were flowing at the Falwell farm.

Oh, and to be clear: I knew Jerry Jr. and Becki were awful people, but that was based on entirely different experiences. I had no idea about any of this before now. These stories are new to me.

Brandon has been relentless over the years chasing these stories. He has the connections from his days as a student that have led to most of these discoveries. Honestly he has proven to be a very good researcher and writer.

There is no value in identifying the student particularly in light of the fact that he appears to potentially be a victim of a crime. Let's keep focus on the issues at hand.

You’re not. And neither of them had a clue of any of this. It’s been a really weird week for them.

So you can independently verify the veracity of this story?
No. I have friends who were friends with Trey. They weren’t aware of any of it at the time and are out of the loop now. That’s why I said it’s been a weird week for them. There was an alternate reality going on around what they were living and experiencing.

Not just Trey, but Wes and Caroline too.

There are other stories involving the Falwell clan out there

I am absolutely speechless. Anyone In leadership that had any whiff of this stuff has to go. I cannot believe how JFJR is playing this in the media.

I have not been super active with the school or the athletic program since I graduated in the mid-90s, mostly due to distance and life, but have made an effort to get more involved recently.

Anyway, I had an interesting encounter with an enabler at a fairly recent event. I was particularly struck with how he downplayed JFSR’s vision, choosing to give nearly all of the credit for what the school had accomplished to JFJR. I found it odd at the time, and was kind of offended, but now it all makes sense. I pray the BOT can get this thing back on the rails.

This community, and country for that matter, needs a spiritually thriving LU.

Praying for all involved.
