No. I meant legitimately arrested for fighting, which was your premise.

Then pulling Da'Rick into it was garbage. He wasn't involved.No, my premise was "involved in a bar fight." Never said a word about "arrests" or "charges" until I was responding to you.
If you're saying none of the players currently on Tennessee's team were involved in any way, that would be in response to my statement.

I believe you're still wrong. There was significant evidence that the players didn't start the fight and tried their best to escape the situation. So, your use of the phrase "involved in a bar fight" implies something that didn't happen.
You're right. My knowledge of the situation is severely limited.
So you are saying that no one currently on Tennessee's team had anything to do with the fight?
I am saying, just as I said two posts ago, that there was significant evidence that the UT players were involved involuntarily while trying to get out of the situation.
Again, your characterization implies that Tennessee players started the fight and were responsible. I don't think that happened.
Myles was charged with the same thing. Technically, none of the Tennessee players were actually charged with assault. I don't think this hair can split the way you want it to.
There is other evidence that suggests that at least one player hit a guy while he was down. There is also plenty of evidence that suggests that, whether they started it or not, they greatly outnumbered those they were fighting with.
I don't see how you got that. I said "involved". There are many ways to get involved in a fight. I was responding to a post that was critical of LSU allowing Jefferson back onto the team after his issue, and I was simply pointing out that Jefferson's issue isn't all that different from several players on Tennessee's roster.
Yes it can. Unless you show me where a victim positively ID'd the person that skull- ****ed him.
1) Da'Rick and Myles were not charged with the same thing.
2) No one was positively IDd by the victim
3) No one was charged with a felony.
4) A player was kicked off the team
So, there is evidence that a guy, who was dismissed from the team immediately, hit a guy. And, that is somehow supposed to be analogous to the LSU situation where Jefferson was not dismissed? So, other than being completely different, I guess they are similar.
Yes they were: disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Rogers had his charges dropped, Myles pleaded out.
They were IDd by other witnesses. The victim in the Knoxville fight got KOd. That can often affect your ability to ID your assailant.
Jefferson's charged was bumped down to a misdemeanor. So that hardly differentiates to two situations.
And multiple players weren't. The only one who was kicked off the squad already had a run in with the authorities.
Please enlighten us.

Document names UT player in bar fight; source disputes report GoVolsXtra
Chase Nelson was IDd as starting the fight. Again, not charged.
When I find the reports, I'll add them to this post.
But according to a UT Athletic Department official who declined to be identified because of an ongoing investigation, an internal review showed Nelson wasn’t even present the night of the brawl.
