IF he didn't do anything that would violate the agreement... add more rules .. such as never being alone at all time, more training...
And now Jonathan Taylor....again

If JT had done everything exactly as he was required in order to be on the team and a student at the University, and if these allegations are totally false, there is no "right" thing to do but restore him to where he was prior to the allegations. I thought the decision to give him a second chance at Alabama was a risky one, but it was done, and nothing can change that. He will be punished for the wrong he did at Georgia, but how can UA punish him for doing right by what was required of him? That would be a disgrace imo. Time will tell what the truth is. And B1G, I would think that either of the allegations would be a violation, and rightfully so.

Unfortunately, I agree with your assessment that he ought to be restored to his previous status if the allegations are discovered to be wholly false. Alabama can't punish him for something that happened before they even offered him a scholarship, so if this stuff goes up in smoke then they would have effectively terminated his scholarship for nothing. His lawyer could have a field day with it too.
Despite having strong opinions against Taylor ever stepping foot on campus, I cannot deny that he has a strong legal position for getting his scholarship back if this new information holds up.
Sounds like with that going on plus his case... He probably wouldn't be playing football until both are resolved. IF it's the same girl.. then oh boy.... has he been kicked off the campus or is allowed to finish the semester?
My thoughts.
1. Never wanted him on campus, but it sucks that he opportunity got taken away from him.
2. I believe false accusations should be a very serious crime, with mandatory jail time.
3. I hope CNS trolls media hard
4. RTR

There is a possibility he did it and confessed to Coach Saban. I'm assuming they spoke.
One thing for sure, she lied to police either way.
It seems his girlfriend has totally recanted all her statement saying she totally made it up , out of anger. There is no law about putting holes in doors.. I have stumbled in a complete drunk and fell into a door and put a whole right through it . Ive also boxed a speed bag mounted on one and missed and put a whole right through one.. We should be innocent until proven guilty. If he is proven innocent the kid deserves to be reinstated , and a complete apology..
I'm sure this is not the case, but...
It wouldn't bother me if Saban had a rule for the team that said if a player has a history of being in trouble and is stupid enough to pick a girl to date who will set him up and have him arrested then he's off the team for being plain old dumb.

I think there's no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube, here.
"The 24-year-old victim had minor injuries to her neck from the assault."
Were they self-inflicted to add credence to her story... who knows. In any case, with so much being said by so many that he never should have been here in the first place... this decision is very unlikely to be reversed.
From a legal standpoint (and I'm no lawyer) I think Taylor would have no recourse against the university. They can probably pull a scholarship at any time for any reason. He likely would have recourse against the girl (if she has anything to get).
I think the Taylor ship has sailed. Ain't no going back.

Pretty sad if he's innocent. I wish it was like it used to be when you were innocent until proven guilty.
But hey, it's the new and improved America. What can I say?

now a days people are always assumed guilty whether they are or not. We shouldn't rush to judgement just because of political correct crap.
This Taylor ship has sailed already. Even if this new developing story turns out to be true, Taylor should not be reinstated back to the UoA. Doing so would only fuel the wild speculation that the university may have something to do with the change in the accuser's story.
assuming for argument's sake that she really did make this all up, do we really need this kind of drama?
whether he beat her up or not, it's apparent his life is still a mess largely of his own making.
i harbor no ill will towards the young man, but as an alum of the university, i'd rather he take his act elsewhere.

is it my imagination or does Nick Saban do his own investigations in these matters? Going back to the phony assault allegations against Ro Mac, I seem to recall the coach insisting on asking a few questions himself.
I suspect that came into play here. Even being in a verbally volatile situation may have violated Taylor's probation.
