Re: Butch Jones called player 'traitor' after WR helped accu
Jones said in the statement that the allegation "is absolutely false" and added that he "did all I could to assist the former student in question," former Vols wide receiver Drae Bowles.
"The assertion that I ever attempted to belittle or demean a young man for taking action to help another person is absolutely false," Jones said in the statement. "To the contrary, I did all I could to assist the former student in question. During the course of the judicial process, campus officials, as well as the young man's own words, will clearly establish that I have done nothing wrong. I will fight all of these false attacks on my character, and I know that once this process has been completed, my reputation will be affirmed."
Bill Ramsey, one of the lawyers representing UT, also issued a statement Wednesday night saying that "facts" as opposed to "allegations in a complaint" — some of which were detailed by The Tennessean earlier Wednesday — would settle the matter.
I can't believe a news organization ,TV or print, would spread false allegations about a coach or player.( Sarcasm inserted) GIVE ME A BREAK!!!! How about proving some of the allegations. There is a feeding frenzy going on. Gee ,this hasn't happened before. Who will it be next year? :tu:
