I think it’s pretty safe to say a “recruiting coordinator” isn’t supposed to use a company vehicle for anything other than recruiting, which this certainly wasn’t.
Crime Blotter: Georgia football player Devin Willock, staff member Chandler LeCroy killed in car crash

It is possible they asked her to do something in connection to the championship parade/celebration and used the company car for that.
Yep, which is leading me to believe, that unless some other evidence comes out, UGA may not have to open a checkbook.
As I stated above until we know the official capacity her job had to the company vehicle, there is no way to already say UGA is liable for this incident.
I believe UGA was having a “recruiting event” in conjunction with the NC celebration that day. That is the reason the University has stated on more than one occasion that “the vehicle should have been turned in that afternoon when those “recruiting activities” ended”.
Everything rolling out from the UGA and the legal team will follow a wordsmith template very similar to “We here at The University continue to deal with the terrible consequences of the accident that claimed the lives of two members of our UGA family and injured two others. Chandler represented only the finest qualities of our institution and truly loved UGA. She was always willing to go above and beyond her normal duties to place the university in the most favorable light. It was most likely that love and dedication to the university that led the unauthorized use of the university leased vehicle that evening. Good and honorable intentions that led to a horrible outcome. We continue to pray for healing healing for all involved”.
My point being - the talking point going forward will be several poor choices were made by a university employee that in no way was part of her role/job description. She alone made the decision to continue to use that vehicle along the other terrible decisions that led to the accident. In no way, shape or form was Chandler LeCroy acting as an agent/employee of the university that night.
And that may very well be true. The only person that maybe able to shed light on what was going on that night may very well be the other recruiting analyst in the car, Tori Bowles.
There we go, I think we now know the capacity in which the car was supposed to be used. Granted, there is a chance other things may arise, but otherwise, UGA will more than likely be free and clear of any liability.
Being free and clear and paying out money to make this go away as quickly as possible are two different things. I'm not saying anyone deserves any money from UGA. I'm saying that someone will most likely get some.
Correct. UGA will continue to standby the statement that any use of the vehicle by LeCroy and Bowles beyond that afternoon was not permitted and therefore unauthorized. Unless something comes out to the contrary, UGA will push the liability to LeCroy and Bowles
@TIDE-HSV may have better direction on this than me. But I would think a "payout" would go through their legal team first and the only way they would do that would be if their legal team felt like they had legal exposure. But if they didn't think they had exposure, I don't see them writing anyone a voluntary settlement check just to get it out of the media.

I guess we will just have to wait and see. Time will tell.
the front page of the ajc is freaking brutal
A few weeks ago, people were ripping Todd McShay when he said Carter had character issues. I’m certainly no McShay apologist, but…
I can see UGA settling to avoid a trial where the damages could be enormous. Insurance would really pay I imagine. In Alabama used to be that any party was in any way responsible, think 1% liable, could be made to pay the entire amount of the judgment. IOW LeCroy 99% responsible, UGA 1% responsible, then the money for the judgement can come from either party. I don't know if Georgia is that way.
I learned this through bitter experience.
More information is needed by all the parties involved.
Is the other female recovered from her injuries? Jalen Carter and his huge NFL contract could be a target.

Isn’t it time we heard from UGA’s Kirby Smart?
This is Kirby Smart’s program, for better and for worse. He’s paid $11.25 million per annum to win national titles, which he has done two years running. He’s also charged with running a program filled with players and staff. Forty-five days ago, one player and one staffer died.

You are dreaming if you think they would even consider firing Kirby. They waited 40 years to get back to the promise land. They will do anything to protect him. Even disgracing a dead person.
Never said I agreed with it. But from a legal standpoint, that will most likely the strategy the legal team at UGA will employ.
