Then he's only blowing this up and deserves any negative publicity and public shaming he gets. He was considering backing out, too. UT didn't make up the allegations. His name is in court records linked with the case at PSU and his claim that he didn't know anything carries no more weight than the allegation that he did. Association and perception are reason enough to steer far away from him.
I wish Chris Low would move. He might be an alum who lives in Knoxville, but he supports UT about as much as Finebaum-- which is not at all.
