I can about guarantee that GameDay didn't ask Freeze to come on. More likely, Auburn PR, or whatever outside PR team is handling Freeze, asked GameDay. GameDay happy to oblige as it's a new SEC hire and has generated national buzz (for better or worse). The PR team's objective here is to get Freeze in front of a national audience and begin to change the narrative. The exposure also benefits recruiting.

No doubt there were clear guidelines agreed upon about what was in and out of bounds, as others have said. But you're not putting him on at this point in time without expecting, and agreeing to, some questions about his past. Matter of fact, that's half the point.
