Grumors fueled my life in 2012 and 2017.

Will never forget the frenzy after Hubbs dropped the hydrogen bomb quote of something like “yes I’m hearing there’s an offer of $100 million over 10 years”

DeerPark not feeling good about BT.

“Doubt he’ll be allowed to return. He was already on a short leash with the issues that prevented him from enrolling at USC. He was on zero tolerance based on what I’ve been told over and over. Now it’s just waiting for the process to play out. But I think he’s at a JuCo by the end of the month.”

If BT were on zero tolerance, he would have been dismissed from the team. The arrest and property damage would have triggered it. Pruitt has said multiple times that zero tolerance means zero. Dismissal for violation of team rules is completely different from the student conduct investigation.

Cautious optimism?

I’m at the point to where if Pruitt says he’s got to go, then he’s probably got to go. I don’t think he’s the type that’s going to risk the inmates running the asylum. At least I hope that’s the case.

That being said...

If some clown like John Adams or Wolken or Mandel says he has to go, they can go get f@&$ed and find a real job.

Jk. Not bad. My draft is Sunday.

Wasn’t a fan of the Freeman pick, but went ahead and pulled the trigger. Also not excited about Rivers, but otherwise I got folks I wanted. We’ll see how it pans out.

Also joined a dynasty league and had my first rookie draft this year. That was different. Picked up a team for a guy who dropped out of the league. Roster is terrible. Will take good picks in the next 2-3 drafts to get a decent team.

She does listen some. (She listens more than she ever really wants me to know). She is almost 23 so she is starting to think I am not a complete moron after all. 😁

My daughter's 23! She's beginning to think I'm alright lol. Even apologizes for her teenage years when she was wonderful as far as teenagers go.

It has become a political hot potato, which is something to avoid. A couple things have come out that don't look good. But if he were zero tolerance, they could have dismissed him Monday or today. They didn't do that. He has support, but he also has some things going against him.

The media backlash and negative publicity brings unwanted attention to the program in the post Title IX-lawsuit era. He changed his story about the gate and that's on record. His GF's statement included a few things that would have been better left unsaid. While it won't really impact his court case, it could hurt him with UT, especially with so many people weighing in. But again, if they wanted to cut him loose, they could have done that for violation of team rules.

Well, I want to clear because I did say it was possible and I'll stick by exactly what I said..

Regardless of any technical use of the term, I have zero doubt that CJP made it clear that he wouldn't tolerate that kind of **** when we took him. Zero tolerance FOR ABUSE.
And I would also fully expect him to wait to find out if something of that nature that happened, not an abused gate or sheetrock.

My kids school has a zero tolerance gun policy, it doesn't mean they get kicked out permanently for throwing pencils during class. It has to relate to the actual subject banned and they actually have to have broken the rule. Someone can't just claim they did.

Technically it is on record but when read Miranda rights he told the truth. Which everyone knows once read Miranda you can stay silent. He did not. He told them the truth about the gate.

Attached is Miranda for anyone wondering: “You must understand your rights before we ask you any questions, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to talk to a lawyer if you can not afford a lawyer one will be appointed to you, you can decide at any point not to answer any questions, do you understand these rights as I have read them to you?”

If he needed to be on zero tolerance for any sort of domestic abuse/assault or threats of bodily harm, IDT we'd have taken him in the first place. If he were on zero tolerance because he'd had some non-violent behavioral issues, like many HS kids do, that usually means one violation and you're out. No mulligans.
