No, it doesn't follow criminal law. It's internal, but the student is assured due process. The student is investigated to ascertain if facts and evidence support a violation of the UT Standards of Conduct and if the case investigators conclude that there is evidence of a violation, then sanctions, from a warning to explusion, are recommended and enforced. The student has rights, is entitled to an advocate, can present his own case and witnesses and challenge the allegations against him.

If a witness lies or misrepresents what s/he saw or heard, s/he can be found in violation and subject to his/her own midsconduct investigation. Which is why witnesses so often walk back their allegations. The next time they're questioned, they're often fuzzy on the details and unwilling to stand by what they said in the heat of the moment. The second they admit they're not 100% sure or indicate they could have been mistaken, the case crumbles.

I’m a faculty member at another SEC school and serve on a panel like this. I would think this is all pretty accurate.
 
Do you have any insight on the current process that could be taking place for Thompson at the moment? I know you know some people.

They've opened an internal investigation. That's in addition to the court appearance on the misdemeanor. The two will proceed concurrently.

It's a political hot potato so they'll keep it as quiet as possible and move it forward as quickly as they can. It's all very unfortunate.

Seems to me like that fastest way to clear the threat, is to interview his family, and people who know him. That way you can establish a set of norms on his personality and character as well as his mental state.

From there it should be pretty easy. To clear the air, especially if everything is corroborated and then the school can release that nothing was found to show credibility to the threat and that he has served his “suspension” time. Then PR needs to help Thompson release a statement on his actions.

That should handle it.
 
Current average spread is -5 for #14 Utah at BYU. Last I saw we were -4 hosting BYU.

Even given the location difference, it doesn't exactly add up. Where does Vegas see the difference? Any knowledgable West peeps?

Pruitt has always spoken highly of BT and shown great faith in him. When players are in Pruitt's doghouse, it's hard to miss. I'm sure they've already started there and will widen the scope.
