Letting Paulk back on the team could hurt ticket sales. Statistics show women have a lot of influence over major financial decisions in a household. Season tickets to Tennessee football are a major financial commitment. Women won't want to see thier family money spent on Tennessee tickets if they think the coach turns a blind eye to woman beating.

Not saying he should or shouldn't be let back on but what is the difference between this incident and the one with Mixon RB at OU? Is it the head coach or university that decides the outcome or a little of both?

Just wondering and Go Vols!

I'm a student now actually. They're a student when they're on campus. But on the football field none of that means squat. The majority of athletes couldn't care less about the academics anyways. The academic part of the school doesn't make the top 10.

I wear orange tennessee clothes to the games. Not button downs and bow ties. Because this is Tennessee football, we drink beer, not wine coolers.

You might not care now, but I've found that when you become an alumnus, the reputation of your university is meaningful.

I wonder how many guys on here who say just walk away have been "attacked" by a woman? A yelling match, yes walk away before your temper is lost to the point of physical retaliation. But there's a difference in a yelling match and one where you're getting slapped, kicked, clawed or whatever. You either stand there and take it, walk away and potentially let them keep hitting you from behind or you try to restrain them or try defending yourself to the point that it's possible you injure them unintentionally. I've never been in that violent of a situation with my wife so I don't know how I'd respond. But it's easy to say what one should do in a situation that one's never experienced.

It's sad you feel that way. I'd be willing to bet you didn't attend UT. It's nothing more than a football team to you. The student athletes are not people to you. I see it as something that is so much more. I like feeling good about Tennessee the university as a whole. It goes beyond the scoreboard in Neyland stadium tor me. It always will. Jmo

I don't agree with you often, but this paragraph has a lot of win in it.

I didn't say she wasn't hit. She said she was hit and there was visuals. But she also said it didn't go down the way it was perceived.

"Treyvon did not intentionally strike me in the mouth with his fist as it was stated.”

Vols running back Treyvon Paulk dismissed from team after domestic assault allegation - News Sentinel Story

As for your last paragraph get off your damn high horse. I've never hit my wife and don't plan on it either but I'm also not willing to crucify a man who may have done it, whether he can play football or not. Especially when the only details are what's written in a KNS article and regurgitated by Bleacher Report, ESPN etc.

+1...hope all these guys who are passing judgment without knowing any facts have never done anything wrong in their lives.

All kinds of high horses up in this thread. I've made more mistakes than I ever care to remember, but those mistakes didn't define me as a person. How I responded and came out on the other side of my mistakes is what made me the man I am today. There are many a valuable lesson to be learned in this life.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

It's probably a good idea to make sure your hands and life are nice and tidy and not worry about looking down your noses and condemning others IMO.

More sensitive than rape?

Paulk was "dismissed". AJ was "suspended". Both per Butch Jones statements at the time.

Look Leb i don't understand you playing dumb 2 cases different sets of evidence. Both hv litigation and due process. She said he didn't do it no court no further investigation it's over. It all happened due to new university policy. So now that he's cleared criminally it's up to CBJ and the athletic department on when he is reinstated. Whether it meets your logic or not who gives a damn.

I want to make something perfectly clear. I do not condone ever, under any circumstances, striking a woman. I have a daughter at UT now and if I had an idea that she had been hit by a guy I would bring all kinds of hell down on him. My point has always been that no individual on this site knows truly what happened. Everyone is going off Internet rumor and trying to read into his guilt based on how Butch suspended him. The only official story from the media is a police report that is soley one sided and never has a statement from Paulk.

We also have two rumors that have been presented here, one says he was beating the crap out of her and a couple of teammates had to pull him off her. The other states she was flailing at him and he inadvertently hit her while trying to defend himself.

So you can believe either story or you can let the people that have a 100 times more information than we have make the decision.

Maybe 1% of the people that go to the games have a clue as to who or why Paulk was kicked off the team. The number of women would be much less. Paulk being on the team will have squat to do with ticket sales.
