Bearcats quarterback Jarred Evans has been suspended since the day after the UC win at SMU. That is not changing, even with the news that he was found not guilty in his assault case. If you weren’t following along, the article states:
Judge Robert Taylor declared a mistrial on a disorderly conduct charge after jurors could not reach a verdict. Prosecutors will decide whether to re-try him on that count, which Taylor called a “minor misdemeanor.”
Naturally the question about Evans’s status was brought up today after practice. Coach Tommy Tuberville said this to Cincinnati.com:
“I saw where they had some kind of conclusion, but now he has to go through the judicial process here,” UC head football coach Tommy Tuberville said. “It’s out of my hands.”
And
“It goes through our administration, through the front office on campus,” Tuberville said. “You’ve got to pay the price for what happens. Of course he’s paid a pretty good price, being gone for seven months.”
The money quote being:
“He is suspended until I get word from (UC administration) of what their penalties are, or if there are going to be any.”
Hopefully for the sake of Jarred Evans and the University of Cincinnati, a decision is reached pretty quickly. It’s time to put this saga behind the program for good. Evans did something he regrets and has seemed to serve his time, both in regards to the program and the court of public trial. Now that he has been found not guilty, one hopes his life can find a semblance of balance without having to worry about this this pendulum hanging over his head.
