Please explain the purpose of the three person panel. According to our AD, their job is to review the available evidence and determine whether continuing the automatic suspension is appropriate.I can assure everyone of one thing. As long as these charges are pending, there is no way the University is going to put TSJ back on the floor. The charges need to be dropped or some kind of a settlement reached.
They may have compelling evidence that nothing occurred. If that’s the case they will pressure the DA in whatever way they can. What they won’t do is send TSJ back on the court so the country can listen to an ESPN announcer try to explain why TSJ is playing despite being charged with rape.
My recollection is he mentioned it would possible for TSJ to return while the charges are still pending.
If the panel can't reinstate him unless the charges are reduced or dropped; they serve no apparent purpose.
