Oh ffs. We just went from a 2 seed to the bubble.

Agree we were looking at a 2 with a Purdue upset win, and safely a 4 if we won most games we were supposed to.
I think we will struggle to get in now. He was playing at AA level on both sides of the ball.

Why in the fuck are you putting yourself in that position dude? Forget this season. You have your whole life and career ahead of you and you pissed it all away. Just sad and stupid.

I am sure the DIA does education with all student athletes and especially high profile ones about risk situations.
Sounds like he/his attny are adamant that he is innocent.

We will see what happens, but there is little chance he plays again, unless the alleged victim drops all charges and Kansas law even allows that.
My guess is after three months the alleged victim has a certain amount certitude and belief about what she states happened.

Or the money wasn't there, yet.

No wonder he was practicing at 4am.  Couldn't sleep.

Gonna be interesting to see how the rest of the guys respond. Do they rally around this and step their games up or do they lay down and die the rest of the year? We'll have to find out.

Can’t understand why Whitman lets this marinate for 30 hours before speaking. He’s known since late September. He has to know what he’s saying. Get out front and look accountable.

Gotta say, I mostly agree.  I get why they didn't suspend him before, or why it was kept quiet with no charges filed (to some degree, depending on what they knew - but we have no way of knowing that).

But once the story's out, to immediately say "we'll address this on Friday night, 36 hours from now" seems like a mistake.  Say something.

I think based on how he's been treated this year, the likely money is on this charge being a surprise to Whitman and Underwood - even if they knew the investigation was happening, I get the impression they did not think it would come to an actual charge.  If that's the case, he might not know what he's going to say - but still, say something tonight.  Don't let this go another entire day.

There is is side story about Douglas County District Attorney Suzanne Valdez.

"August 19: A formal complaint accuses the Douglas County district attorney of misconduct for her comments about a judge, including allegedly calling him a sexist and a liar."

December 20: "[Special prosecutor] Bonifas asked the panel to impose a one-year suspension of Valdez’s law license."
 
Valdez is also up for reelection next year.

Please don't do this "try to undercut the legitimacy of the charge by posting shit about the DA" nonsense like a subset of morons are doing on Loyalty right now.

Have to agree with spark here. There's no way they're going to run the scariest man meme or a day in the life of TSJr.  If they had known any of this.  I will say this about TSJr.  Out of all the athletes illinois has ever had here  TSJr seemed the the least likely to have ever been affiliated with anything like this.   He looks and plays the part of a high class role model athelete.  Which makes this so much harder to digest.

Whether he is innocent or not he's done playing ball for the U of I.

I would think the AD has a reason he wants a day or two before giving a more detailed response.

The security around this story has been impressive. Almost 4 months since the alleged incident  and no leaks.

If the DA happens to be a flake, and facing license suspension, along with reelection, that is certainly an interesting side story.
