Bryce Thompson out - potentially

I said if;)

The only thing they could really throw him out for is the shooting up the school threat, but they'd have to prove he actually said it, as it stands the DA charge is because the police felt the girl was in danger, she stated he never hit her so that will most likely be dropped.

After having a few high profile players get false accusations leveled against them the past few years I'd probably play this carefully if I'm in charge of the school, sure the optics would look bad for a week or so, but people will move on unless he gets in trouble again. The most they should do is sit him for half the season and get him some counseling, he'd be more of a threat if he was loose on the street and mad about being kicked out.
 
They don't have to have evidence that he hit her. Assault isn't the same as battery. No touching is necessary to commit the offense.

The court case is not likely to be resolved very soon. There isn't going to be a quick dismissal, although the charge is likely to be dropped/diverted down the road assuming this isn't a repeat offender and assuming he can stay out of trouble while the case plays out. But, his status as a football player is irrelevant to the court system. In fact, being a high profile athlete may actually slow the process down so it doesn't look like a favor is being issued for an athlete that your average defendant would not receive.

I think the bigger threat to continuing his college career at UT is the alleged shooting threat. Ten or twenty years ago it probably gets brushed off as thoughtless or angry, but meaningless, mouthing off. Today, authorities take this stuff very seriously---especially school administrators. There's no telling how this ends up.

Which to me is the interesting part. From the LE end (at this point) they don't seem to be too worried about that being very credible. The bothersome part would be the idea that they would have the ability or capability to prevent that with their current stance in mind. UT's admin doesn't have that ability even if they remove him as a student.
 
Won’t be any space left in prisons if everything we say in private conversations is prosecution worthy. Sending a transmission to the school itself? ALLEGEDLY being heard saying it? GTFO

yeah, exactly. Now, if there was a video of him bashing his girlfriend on the bed, Butchna would want him expelled, right, Butchna? well, unless he says it's cause she stole his headphones, then it's all good

A college athlete getting his butt whooped for stealing is a woman in your world, right, Goldy?

A high school kid getting his butt whooped for allegedly stealing is a woman in your world, right, Goldy?

when they are both lying on the bed, face down, taking continuous shots to the back of the head, they are equivalent.

edit: tried to link the video
 
Pretty sure the dude didn’t dive there. Started out facing him. Once again a thief getting overpowered is a helpless woman in GoldyWorld.

we'll just have to disagree. you insist on street rules and vigilante justice, and i am not a thug. Just because someone thinks somebody stole something doesnt give him the right to pound his face in. will we ever get to a point where you stop commenting on the subject? it's been more than 2 years, which is pretty sad you keep bringing it up

Shows your train of thought. Quick to banish a kid for confronting a thief. I think it proves you’re a sad troll and that’s why I remind everybody as long as you pretend.

Given the comparison, it would be prudent on his part.
