why do people blame these type of issues to bible thumpers and puritans? SFH's prostituin would offend feminist liberals just as if not more than religious people.

Live in the real world much?

UNFAIR! Can't erase her running accomplishments. One thing has nothing to do with the other. Shame for the action of a committee who has the inability to discern separate events or understand the difficulties of being a human being.
I agree that protest is in order. Hope that a good lesson is learned and that social concern makes this unfairness right.
Do SFH's husband, child, and customers' spouses count?

Feminists would stand tall and speak up for SFH and against this travesty.
I hope you are kidding and I am sure you are. Who would want to win the Suzy Favor Hamilton award. Imagine some father whose daughter wins this award feeling real proud and then googles the name. He sees his daughter won an award named after a prostitute. Maybe next year the PAC 10 will give out the OJ Simpson award for the best running back.
The University of Wisconsin is a public school. It was purportedly involved in the decision. Does the state have a freedom of information law? If so the media should get the details on this. Who at the University was involved in this decision and what position or positions did these persons take?
Let there be light. Names, dates, details. A statement from
Barry Alvarez
Director of Athletics
is in order NOW.
Good for them. Wanna hoe it up and try to blame it on depression? Depressed or not, honey, you're still a hoe. Time to suffer the consequences. At least there's SOME accountability left in this world Damm!

I would have absolutely no problem with accepting that award. I'd be honored to be recognized in the same sentence as OJ regarding sports and athleticism.
The Big 10 gets a hell of a lot of money from TV networks. Networks get a hell of a lot of money from sponsors. If the general public finds out the Big 10 has a Suzy Favor Hamilton Award, members of the public could boycott sponsors. This affects networks and, in turn, Big 10 income.
Money rules. The honchos in the Big 10 want to maximize income. They get paid to do that. Michael Corleone is their role model.
It's not just the ho'n around - it's the breaking the law part of it. Even though she was never convicted of anything. In other words, high profile people being 'loose' that probably happens a lot. And married or no, there is no law against that. But charging fees, that's a bit over the line of mmm, maybe some integrity matters when it comes to naming an major conference award after someone.

Its amusing when apologists suggest she's a 'great talented athlete who made some mistakes...' Picking the wrong wallpaper is a mistake. Doing what she did was psycho. Exactly what scenario did she envision would cure her 'depression'?

So she had sex with a few hundred people. I doubt anyone felt ripped off. Sexually she probably was among the finest the Big Ten ever produced.

How often do people actually boycott over situations like this? Seriously, who would care? I wouldn't. Would you?

Doesn't need to be as blatant as a boycott, could be just as simple as a company not renewing a sponsorship with the big ten because they are afraid of push back. There are plenty of places to put their money where there is less danger of being associated with a sex scandal. There is also the purpose of the award to be considered. Many may not think it is a big deal but inevitably the media will bring it up when the award presentation is covered in the media. So they have a situation where every year they give this award away, it will take some of the focus off the award and the award winner and place it on Susie's "mistakes". My guess is she (Susie) may not want the award named after her as it will just lead the media to dig up this whole thing again year after year. Now if she goes into porn, all bets are off.
Really, who cares. Reggie Bush gives back his Heisman and OJ still has his. Life goes on. I feel for her family and daughter who is old enough to read that her Mom claims her birth triggered some great depression. In SFH's mind I'm sure it was all justified.
Let's make it clear, prostitution is nothing like murder on a relative morality scale. Those who use OJ as an argument need to recognize the inaccuracy of this . I don't think Suzy and OJ have anything in common as it relates to standards of human behavior.
I don't have a problem with a woman being a prostitute, as long as they are not cheating on their husband/kids which Suzy did. I know her husband was okay with it (even more strangely), but it wasn't right. And I support what a couple others said about the Puritanism being astounding in some places LOL.
