Yes fire them, regardless if there is any truth to the allegations or not. Nevermind that the school would be on the hook for untold millions in damages if it turns out the allegations are false.



I am going to ask you a very serious question TJ:

Are you retarded?


What reason does that kid have to lie? Is there any motive?

And even if he is lying, all those assaults still happened on his watch.

Alleged assaults, to my knowledge, not a single conviction has occurred. In fact, the Von Pearson case, which was added to the lawsuit yesterday, was thrown out by the District Attorney because they concluded that the accuser was lying.

Considering there are federal investigations and a federal lawsuit in place, this idea that Butch Jones would have a reason to file a lawsuit is hilarious.

I'd imagine the NCAA is lining up their investigations also.

Having said this, TN will not fire Butch Jones. The fans can't handle yet another rebuilding process just yet - after the season - yes.

1. He has to be lying somewhere. His first story was that no assault took place and that he didn't even know the girl had been raped. He said he was just giving her a ride home. He was either lying to the Grand Jury and in his interview regarding what he told the Grand Jury or he's lying now.

1a. As for motive, if he was legitimately assaulted/ battered or hell even if he can convince a jury regardless of truth then he has a civil case against Curt Maggitt who just happens to be going pro this year (some thought he wouldn't make it due to injury but he got a combine invite) and he'd also have a case against Jones and UT. Pretty obvious motive especially since Bowles will very likely not play pro football.

1b. Because this is civil court we're talking about Bowles can also claim he was forced out despite the fact that everyone knew he was transferring well before the night in question.

2. That is demonstrably false. The lawsuit reaches back MANY years/decades and includes non-football players.
