"Brandon Miller has rights. I believe that Alabama has a duty to protect those rights.”

-Jay Bilas

Outside of Bama homers, this is the worst take I’ve seen on the situation.

Does Brandon Miller have the right to not be questioned about what happened that night? No, he does not have that right.

I guess according to Bilas, before deciding whether Miller can remain with the University, Alabama can’t ask him “Did you read that text message before delivering the gun?” No, that would be too insensitive to this young man’s “rights.”

In the event Bama already has the answer to that question, and it’s either “yeah I read it” or “I plead the 5th,” Bama must keep that a secret and can’t exercise any disciplinary action against Brandon? I guess letting the public know or simply taking disciplinary action for a general failure to meet team’s standards would just really be super insensitive to Miller’s rights.

Did Jay Bilas sleep his way through law school, was he just in the mood for a hot take, or is he the guy ESPN fed these lines to because ESPN is deep in bed with the SEC and thought they needed someone somewhere with credibility not lambasting the SEC’s top hoops team and the SEC’s arguably top program?

Hey Jay, what about the rights of an innocent woman to not be shot dead in her car because a thug had a gun on speed dial?

And to think Bama fans ate that ridiculous shite up like it was gospel from Jesus Christ himself.
