Answer this question, why did Butch Jones kick a player that was accused of assault off his team immediately instead of suspending him? Will Muschamp and company prefer to suspend an accused thug.

If you think Will Muschamp had any say whatsoever in an on-campus incident involving a male student athlete sexually assaulting a female student athlete, you're dumber than I ever imagined.

Redaction of the name of the victim wouldn't be enough?

In this case it wouldn't.

Everyone knows Harris was the accused, and the alleged victim's name is out now too because she plays on UF's WBB team.

Releasing the "what" doesn't protect students' privacy when everyone knows who was involved...two scholarship student athletes at that.

So kick him off before all the facts are gathered?


Answer this question, isn't Paulk still allowed to attend classes and live on campus? Well Harris isn't allowed to do any of the above. Your alleged woman beater only had football taken away but Harris doesn't have football or an opportunity to further education at this point.

From Huntley Johnson:

We are releasing this statement in an attempt to help clarify the circumstances surrounding the investigation of Treon Harris.
The status of Mr. Harris as a student at the University of Florida is that he was given an interim suspension pending a resolution by the administration of the University. After an appeal of the decision to suspend Mr. Harris, the University decided to allow Mr. Harris to continue his online courses. Because he is not allowed on campus, Mr. Harris is currently not attending those classes which occur in a classroom.
In terms of the criminal case, as most of you are aware, the University released a redacted police report yesterday evening. Currently, Mr. Harris has not been arrested and the criminal investigation is ongoing.
First, we want to dispel the idea that the alleged victim and our client didn't know each Page 1 of 3
other. Our client and the alleged victim knew each other to the extent that they had each other's cell phone numbers and had previously spent time together of their own accord for the purpose of socializing together.
We want to dispel the idea and rumors floating around that our client forced his way into the alleged victim's apartment. Those rumors are patently false. Mr. Harris has never been inside the young lady's room. We understand that all of the evidence was gathered from our client's room, which is where the interaction between the two parties took place.
We know that an individual has given testimony to law enforcement that he had sexual relations with the alleged victim less than an hour before the alleged sexual conduct with our client took place. In fact, testimony indicates that the young lady in question was the sexual aggressor in that interaction.
Our investigation has produced no evidence whatsoever that the young lady in question was impaired.
We have provided law enforcement with multiple witnesses that will indicate what the interaction was between the alleged victim and our client before they returned to our client's room: they were smiling and they were holding hands. They returned to the Springs Residential Complex in a car driven by another female student who was a friend of the alleged victim.
We have provided multiple text messages to the authorities investigating this incident. These texts were exchanged among the alleged victim, Mr. Harris, and the other gentleman mentioned above.
When these text messages are released, they will show that the young woman making these allegations initiated the conduct with Mr. Harris while he was still in the locker room in Knoxville. Shortly after the team plane landed, texting continued between Mr. Harris and the alleged victim.
Page 2 of 3
We believe the evidence will show the alleged victim was in fact in the sexual aggressor with not one, but two young men early last Sunday morning.
Misstatements in the media to date have painted a picture that is inconsistent with the evidence. That said, we have fully cooperated with this investigation. Mr. Harris agreed to a search of his dorm room. Mr. Harris agreed to a search of his phone. Mr. Harris gave a voluntary statement to law enforcement. We have turned over at least six (6) eyewitnesses to the events in questions to law enforcement. We have turned over the text messages to law enforcement. We have suggested to law enforcement multiple locations from which they should secure video surveillance. We have provided law enforcement with information gathered from the Internet that this young woman posted on Sunday, after the alleged misconduct, where she is smiling and happy. There is no indication of any physical or mental trauma.
We have previously indicated that we do not believe that Mr. Harris will be arrested or prosecuted. That is because of our experience and the facts of this case. He is not guilty of a crime and he did not mistreat this young lady in any way that night.

You must understand. If he is a Vol, we expect due process. If he is a Gator or any other rival player, they should be charged as criminals and immediately kicked off the team.

I'm trying to decide if this is Huntley Johnson trying to get ahead of a decision not to charge by the SAO, or just a good old fashioned attempt to taint a potential jury pool.

Either way, if the facts bear out what's in his statement, this girl is about to get bounced (pun intended).

Worst case she'll sit out this year and transfer to another WBB program.

UCF could use her. :)

Assault claim withdrawn today. Does this mean he gets reinstated and plays against LSU?

Don't know...I'm not well versed on what the school's obligation is under Title IX when the accuser drops his/her complaint.

There's also potential punishment from the student judiciary committee, if it's determined there was underage drinking on campus involved, or other campus violations.

I'd be surprised if Harris plays this weekend, but on the surface it appears he'll be back at some point.

I've got a 25 year-old daughter, so I always empathize with the victim under these circumstances. It's got to suck for her and her family. The fact that she plays on UF's WBB team makes it worse.

The lawyer discussing that she was texting him and apparently was involved that evening with Harris and another guy probably shamed her into withdrawing it. To have all that exposed in detail if she moved forward ...

I would think the University has to follow through.

Agreed...too many loose ends out there.

Again, I don't know if the university has any further obligations under Title IX, but there's still potential conduct violations that could keep Harris off the field for a while.

They should, regardless of their Title IX obligations. They have a responsibility to make sure they do not allow one student to harm another.

AND he's back. Congrats LawGator, you get to keep Muschamp for at least 1 or 2 more years.

If he would completely turn over offense to the coordinator, especially in terms of who is starting, and if he'd figure out a way to turn on the charm with Miami recruits, it might work out alright.

So one of these 2 parties is guilty of seriously bad behavior.

If nothing really happened shouldn't there be consequences for the false accusation?

If something did and she was pressured (in some way) to retract shouldn't there be consequences for the perp?

(no Ras did not take over my account)
