Alabama didn't want to help Taylor... they wanted to help Alabama football. Allowing Taylor onto the team with felony assault charges possibly pending showed Taylor and other prospects that beating your girlfriend is OK as long as you can play some football. Jon Taylor isn't a man who was given a second chance out of kindness... he was on his 3rd or 4th chance... the guy was already given a 2nd chance at UGA when he wasn't dismissed and imprisoned for his theft/fraud. He was arguably given his third chance in life when he wasn't imprisoned yet again for beating his girlfriend for the 1st time. If he wasn't a good football player he'd of been in jail over the either of those first two offenses, but Alabama wanted to win a trophy at all costs. Ethics be damned. Anyone who gets stomped out on the way should accept they are part of the "process".
UA, Nick Saban and the AD deserved to be raked over the coals over this situation, they deserve all of the fallout they will get and likely will deserve more than what they get from the likes of ESPN.
