|  Bump Infraction
Is Bruce and UT fighting the "bump" infraction that occured 4 days after his apology presser. I read on another site that UT was fighting the charge and felt we had a winnable case. Anybody heard this?

| Haven't heard anything but how do you fight that? He was either there or he wasn't. Seems cut and dry to me. | |

| Doesn't the letter say it was a 2.5-3 minute conversation? It wasn't too intelligent to have the conversation, but I suppose there could be room for an argument. I wasn't there. |

| Pearl wasn't there and doesn't even know the kid he is accused of bumping. That's why the university didn't consider it a violation to report. | |
