This course of events should not surprise anybody. Contrary to what some believe, the United States operates under the rule of law. Depriving a duly registered student of access to a campus activity SOLELY because others objected to his participation was an action that would never stand up in court. So the mess continues, and the university administration brought this all upon themselves by pandering to the mob. And for the fifth time let me say that I am not happy that this character came here.
Wick is 100% right here. Tha administration pandering to the mob is what brought this on. I expect much more from JT. Standing up for students is what made him who he is. From Ray issac to Claret to Pryor, he has always stood by the students, even when they made obviously bad decisions.
Most of us posted on this website about this issue knew this is coming when the administration did not follow its own internal policy and cracked under pressure.
However, IMO, JT might be smarter than that. He might have figured out that this issue would ultimately end up in court. At that time, the judge would decide the outcome while removing the university from this mess.
Just like anything else, make the decision based on rules and regulations and not based on emotions.
It is lucky so far that he only sued the university to let him play. Pending on the next step taken by the university, YSU might have to take on organizations such as NAACP & ACLU for potential civil rights violation for denying him opportunities to possibly play for the NFL resulting in millions of dollars of loss earnings. While they are at it, they might as well toss the name of the person who started the petition into the law suit. Historically, these group could sue anyone and any organizations for alleged civil right violation. Baltimore, anyone!
