This damn sure would have been swept under the rug at UGA and Bama. We did the same in the 90’s and early 2,000’s. Time to get back to that for petty bs like this.
Even if a kindergartner says “I’m gonna shoot up the school,” then it’s protocol at most institutions these days to order a threat assessment, make higher level administrators aware, and conduct a full investigation. Hopefully a thorough investigation will reveal that there was nothing to this. But sadly, we live in a day and age where if even one person under questionable circumstances reports hearing something like this, it cannot just be dismissed out of hand. Nor should it be.

No, but what I know is that most media guys are going to report what they know either way so 100 Vol fans jumping in their mentions telling them they suck only amplifies the message and makes us look nuts.So you really are a media member. Hmmmm
Quit calling it the Fulmer Cup. That is a total BS made up thing that had no foundation in fact.This incident will be a good barometer for the overall UTAD leadership influence.
If charges are dropped, but the academic side pursues an investigation into the “shoot” comments, then we’re still where we’ve been for a decade. UTAD doesn’t have enough shade to throw around. BT is likely gone because he makes other students feel unsafe.
If charges are dropped, and not much is made of the uncorroborated comments, then we’re back baby Fulmer Cup here we come. BT stays.
If charges aren’t dropped then ???????
Pretty sure the kids in Anderson county only got probation for their threats I may or may not be wrong.
Also, sadly, when it is not dismissed immediately, the person is considered guilty, and media people send out Tweets demanding they are dismissed from the team and thrown out of the university.Even if a kindergartner says “I’m gonna shoot up the school,” then it’s protocol at most institutions these days to order a threat assessment, make higher level administrators aware, and conduct a full investigation.
