Any chance we get hit hard for all of this bs?

No. It's not an NCAA issue.

University is already getting blasted in the media and recruiting will certainly take a hit. Parents are going to be concerned about the culture

Good grief. It's something new each day. I'm not sure I want to see the news tomorrow!!! At least the Peyton news is beginning to turn in a more positive direction.

I'm sure this new story will be front page headlines in the Tennessean. They are out to get us.

Johnson has been suspended from all activities per UT

 

[LA Vol]

Maybe we should self-report: Recruiting violation-- signing felon-in-waiting.

Well we are giving them plenty of ammunition

Didn't see that in there (not saying you're wrong, just that I don't know how to read it), but I do see it was from just yesterday.

Methinks this is on top of what GFW was predicting. Paging GFW...

Nothing else. Hoping rest of spring is quiet

Hope so man

Don't hold your breath.

Id say whether we have more incidents or not, this is going to be a VERY loud spring.

"According to arrest records, a female victim told police she was at Johnson’s apartment around 3 a.m. on February 14. She said she had dated and had sexual encounters with him in the past.

The victim said she and Johnson were “play fighting” and things escalated and he tried to choke her, saying she almost passed out. She also said Johnson tried to touch and kiss her, despite her repeated statements that she did not want to have sex.

Eventually, according to the report, the victim says Johnson blocked the bedroom door, keeping her from exiting and threatening physical violence."

[VolBalla2014]

Since when do they send out a letter to the entire University when a possible fondling occurs?!

I was a student from 2010-2014. They routinely sent those emails out.

Adios, Hart and/or Cheek. Unfortunately, the media mob is going to demand blood for this.

From play fighting with a "girlfriend"
To sexual assault


Maybe I am being insensitive but this doesn't sound like the way it's going to be portrayed

Whelp, I thought I'd seen it all with this place. I'm just going to stay off the internet until fall comes around.

She admits to having a sexual relationship with him.

Not sure what that has to do with strangling someone. What the heck is wrong with people that they'd strangle a woman to passing out?

Who said sexual assault?

Sounds awful but right after "play fighting"?

Perhaps one didn't know when the playing turned into real

Seems odd for sure

You are exactly right. Play fighting that got out of control. WTH

 

[volatil]

Who said sexual assault?

Didn't they report fondling of her breast?

 

[BruinVol]

So when and where was this kid arrested for DUI and simple Possession?

 

[jave36]

Didn't they report fondling of her breast?

He was charged with aggravated assault and false imprisonment according to the report, nothing sexual.

I'm sure UT has hired a crisis management consultant, but we really need to get out in front of all this. Within five days, we've had a damaging civil suit filed, escalating negative publicity in the national media, a football team leader who confessed to five felony sex crimes and a new signee arrested for agg assault/strangulation with sexual assault as a kicker. That series of events has to be almost statistically impossible.
