This trash media at its finest. We should sue them for slander and put the money towards athletics. This absurd to jump on a program that is struggling! I am so sick and tired of the media in this country. It is all lies and trash.

Lawyer up on TF and sue for damages and slander now. I would have already filed. Make that a-hole pay even if it gets thrown out. He'll still have to pay out some $$$ to defend it.
3) Stock could have handled the Williams' questions better. He looked shell-shocked and kept repeating the same lines (in the video posted on NC5's website).

I thought the same thing. I wouldn't be surprised if Williams was less than honest about what the interview was going to be about.
That is the elephant in the room. I have seen several former players, staff, etc coming to CRS defense on social media, and I keep thinking "You are defending a guy that hired Tony Franklin TWICE."At the end of the day, Rick Stockstill is the CEO and face of the Blue Raider Football Program and he hired this guy........TWICE.
I've been seeing that too. On Twitter especially you'll see a boatload of former players sending out pro-CRS tweets left and right.That is the elephant in the room.

Just listen to the Paul Finebaum interview and the read the Washington Post article. He has said plenty. We have done due diligence to the satisfaction of the NCAA. We have proof of that. The NCAA signed off on it so it's hearsay on Franklin's part with intent to do damage. There you go. No court costs worry. They can drown him in costs.They would need to prove TF said something that was untrue or not just him stating his opinion. Plus if you sue, you may end up getting stuck with TF’s court costs. Also, that opens Stock & company up to discovery and dispositions, which could add embarrassment or worse.
Better to let it die (besides us, who really watched or cares).
Has McPhee ever hinted at killing the football program? Like has there ever been anything leaked or has anyone had a conversation with him that would justify being worried about it?

If all we have is the Finebaum interview or Washington Post article, we would lose miserably.
You can’t be sued for defamation or slander for saying something is your opinion. Which TF does a lot. It’s his opinion CRS did a poor job. Okay, can’t sue for him saying that. You can only sue for stated facts that are not true. Defamation and slander hinge on false statements regarding facts. I just re-listened to the Finebaum interview. As far as facts, TF said we moved the workouts back inside, he talked about players & staff not social distancing, it being too crowded & failure to wear masks. He said Stock didn’t always wear a mask and wore it on his head at times. He talked about the number of staff/players that caught SARS-CoV-2. He said he talked to Stock, Massaro & McPhee about it, changes were made for a little while then reverted. He said he and stock cussed each other in a meeting.
To win a slander or defamation, we would need to prove the things TF said were facts were lies. Stock is on video not wearing the mask correctly and saying he didn’t always do it, he could have done better. So under oath, Stock probably can’t say he always wore a mask correctly at all times, confirming what TF said.
So then we could sue if we didn’t move the weights back in, always wore masks in the weight room and the number of cases were wrong. The public has seen CM’s email about needing to double down to do better to avoid losing games. So the cases got bad enough to cancel games, can’t argue that was a lie.
That leaves the fact we could dispute is weight room mask wearing, moving in doors and over crowding. Do you think that didn’t happen at least once? If so, there goes that case.
He could have lied about contacting Stock, M&M about concerns. We have records of some of those already and I’m sure TF has texts/emails. There goes that.
Maybe TF and RS didn’t get in a cussing match and both didn’t say F you? That’s the only possible fact I haven’t just killed in -0 minutes in a message board. That would be pretty easy to clear up under oath.
Given that I killed the only facts he stated except the possibility of never arguing with Stock, how would lawyers do in court? Do you want Stock, Massaro, or McPhee on the stand under oath and with their emails/texts in the ope? If I’m the university, that’s a negative.
Unless there’s something else, no way we sue or win.

Football COVID rules: Masks required in public, but not behind closed doors in locker rooms
An exclusive NewsChannel 5 investigation has discovered that, for Middle Tennessee State University and the rest of Conference USA, what was required in public and what happened in private were sometimes two very different things.www.newschannel5.com
