Yeah I get it, let it go. This isn't about "what happened to him?" Or "will he be back?", but rather how I became a meme this season.

Did a player named Marble actually ever play for us, or was it a figment of our imagination created by an over-creative poster on meds?

Maybe some tshjrts with his silhouette with "put in Marble!" could be created and worn at every game next season would help us close the door?

I don't think that's a good idea.

Given the silence surrounding his status, my opinion is that this is a Title IX issue with confidentiality strings attached. University is likely handling it internally to try to resolve the matter, probably already has, which is why he remains enrolled at A&M but incognito and away from the basketball team.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Serious reply: would love to have him back next year.

Same. Assuming he would want to play next season, and not at A&M, I wonder if his current issues preclude him from entering the transfer portal.

Of course this is a Title IX issue so not making light of that. On a serious note, how can this take so frigging long?!!!

It's probably resolved already and just not spoken of.

If so I wonder why he's still in school here and hasn't entered the portal.

Yet another example of why civil and criminal matters should be handled by real courts and not by kangaroo court. If there was a victim, they deserve justice. If there was a perpetrator, they deserve punishment. So tired of universities, churches, etc., sweeping stuff under the rug. If there was crime, report it. If there wasn't, shut up and move on.

Universities should be dealing with cheating and parking violations, not rape, larceny, defamation, etc.

Because it's handled by the same incompetent university administrative that think giving out multi-year guaranteed deals with full buyouts is a good idea.

I get all the arguments about we have no right or even need to know, but I have to admit I am shocked that we don't have a full story, or more speculation and rumors, regarding what happened with Mr Marble. In today's world it seems everything is shared or speculated upon in the social media space.

Its not so much that I want it, I'm just surprised it doesn't exist.

Or maybe it does exist but because I'm not that interested I haven't read it.

Maybe more surprised Julius, or another party that may be involved, or perhaps a family member of Julius or anyone else, hasn't shared something private on social media and had it harvested and posted here.

Your opinion here shouldn't seem radical but alas common sense is radical in 2024.

Has anyone even seen this guy in town the past six months? That's the weirdest thing of all to me. You'd think someone would have said "Hey, I saw Julius at Chipotle today" at a school this size and a town that's fairly small. Maybe I missed it here and there, but the guy seems like he could be in witness protection for all we know.

I've seen one case take 4-5 months, and that was at a tiny school. At A&M, depending on staffing resources and the population pool, could completely understand why something takes a long time.

Nothing stops an accuser of pursuing criminal and or civil court, however the burden of evidence varies. Likewise the potential repercussions vary as well from title IX to full blown rape criminal court proceedings.

I know of one title IX hearing officer that was a long time retired judge, so blanket kangaroo court comments aren't always applicable.

There's a lot of high paid administrators at A&M that think they have to justify their existence. Unfortunately, they don't need to justify their existence much less think they need to in today's corrupt big university money grab thievery going on where you have more "administrators" than you do faculty members teaching students and doing research.

If he is still taking classes at A&M, it's possible they're all online and he's away from both the program and the campus, up in his hometown of Dallas or somewhere.

I think that's the most likely scenario.

I saw two Stanford freshman (highly regarded recruits) are now in the portal. Why the hell hasn't Marble entered? I would have thought he'd done that in November. Weird.

This Aggie team is all about love and support for each other.

Maybe that is exactly what Julius Marble is hoping to return to after his extended journey into a legal and procedural wilderness has ended.

In other words, as opposed to the mercenary culture that has quickly developed in the Portal Transfer + NIL $ environment over these last few years, perhaps he truly likes and appreciates Buzz, the coaches and his teammates as well Texas A&M itself and truly wants to stay (or return).

Because, IF this is a Title IX infraction (my suppositions are it is), then all parties are bound by strict confidentiality requirements. Breaching such could result in whatever arrangement was agreed to by both parties (again, I'm ASSUMING this is Title IX) being revoked and a formal inquiry launched and possible involvement of LEO. This is why there has been zero info from Buzz, zero info from the athletic department, zero info from the University, and zero info from Marble or his handlers. IF an agreement was made in an informal resolution process, he could be at risk if any information was released, and whatever agreement was made could or would be revoked and the matter would be kicked up to a different level which can be much more punitive to the respondent (Marble).
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

It wouldn't shock me if they found out he didn't do anything but don't want to announce anything yet and face the backlash while basketball is fresh on everyone's mind. Bad look for a school to say "sorry we messed up and kept him out an entire season for nothing. Forgive us"
