As I always say, Anderson has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That’s our system here and we should all be thankful.
Furthermore, he hasn’t been charged or arrested for a single thing at this point. He’s simply reportedly being investigated.

There’s a massive difference between being investigated and being charged. Unless the latter happens, there’s no need to act like it definitely will.
As for him reportedly being suspended, that’s a decision Kirby Smart and Kirby Smart alone has to be responsible for.
It’s his program and the buck stops with him.
Keep checking back for the latest updates as we have them on this developing situation. Clearly, it’s incredibly serious.
