Boom?

I will try harder next time. Do you think an alleged criminal should be associated in any capacity with the University of Illinois?

If the University's intention is to enforce a Zero Tolerance policy towards alleged criminal activity, why is this individual still associated with and compensated by the University? Essentially the policy says funding an alleged rapist is okay, but allowing the individual to play basketball...

This must be a very unique company in your analogy. In this scenario, the employee (TSJ) would have told HR and a supervisor that an incident occurred while hanging out with other employees in another town. Instead of firing him, the company let him keep working for over three months and he...

I understand what you are saying about the corporate world; however, if this situation was taking place in the corporate world, TSJ could just resign and go to work for another company. Imagine if the policy of a company could prevent you working anywhere for an entire year, destroying your...

I think it's important to look at the three sides of a coin. TSJ's side, the accuser's side, and then the edge of the coin. The University profited off TSJ staying in college and this was critical to assemble an unbelievable basketball roster for the 2023-2024 season. When I examine the...

Based on the incomplete information available, different people will draw different conclusions related to TSJ's criminal charges. When I try to empathize with the University, I assume their primary objective is to maintain the University's pristine image, which I am sure the three-panel team...

I cannot agree more with your take. It is stunning how the same facial expressions on those players who attended TSJ's court appearance were again on display during the Maryland game.

Just like everyone, I feel pissed TSJ is getting completely screwed over by an administration who does not know if a basketball is inflated or stuffed. I cannot understand how TSJ is going to fund all these legal bills (maybe I missed the GoFundMe page), and I cannot imagine a player that has...

Lots of poor execution and sloppy mistakes. It looks like the team is mentally fatigued from all the BS surrounding TSJ. It must be very difficult living in that space 24/7.

I would say it was; however, the Illini representation was really impressive and capable of making a lot of noise.

I grew up and live in Chattanooga and attended the game yesterday with my Dad who is Urbana native. We try to make a trip to Champaign/Urbana once a year for a game and this was much easier (2 hours vs. 8 hrs). Illinois traveled well, and I think overall played very well for this point in the...
