Tennessee football: Vols reinstating Bryce Thompson looks bad, desperate

I was on record when the incident broke that even if the worst was proven about Bryce Thompson, Tennessee football should only suspend him for a year and allow him to return next season. You can read that here.

That did not change after the reports of the restraining order from a previous woman in 2018 came out against Thompson. My position was clear. The issue that got him suspended indefinitely did not have any accusations of violence, and while the restraining order did allege physical violence, it happened when he was in high school.
