first and foremost - I’m happy , really happy , for TSJ. I had a very close friend get wrongfully accused of sexual assault while in college at UI in the 1980’s . It ruined his entire sophomore year and while never formally charged by police , the UI internal reviews lasted months until the accusations were formally withdrawn by this girl . No, the accused was not me .
But yes, there are many many cases just like his , where in the drunken weekend night college environment , guys & girls are all to eager to drink too much and then lose their clothes , where things can happen & then there are regrets afterwards . it happens ALL THE TIME .
second - I’m happy for Illini Nation as we never seem to get this kind of positive news in these types of “legal” issues .
At 4:00 yesterday , I would have put our chances of getting the TRO at 5%-10%.
now ? we need to get on a 6-7 game or more winning streak and claw back into the top 5. I’ll be very surprised if TSJ doesn’t start vs Rutgers & all games thereafter
