There was nice discussion around these parts yesterday about the lawsuit filed against the UT athletic department. Kudos to you guys for stirring the drink if you will.

Here’s more on the story and Tennessee’s response to the lawsuit https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/college/story/2016/feb/11/lawsuit-claims-tennessee-players-attacked-tea/349549/. Here’s Weeds’ column on the lawsuit https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/columns/story/2016/feb/11/wiedmer-ut-footballs-spring-just-became-diffi/349552/.

It’s a troubling story, but it’s very important to remember we are in the early stages of this.

But there are several allegations in the law shot – many of which MT detailed in Wednesday’s 5-at-10 – that could be fireable offenses if proven to be true.

The depths of this are unknown at present, but the trials this summer of Michael Williams and A.J. Johnson will be quite telling in regard to these allegations.
