"Good afternoon. Before we start, I want to make sure everyone knows this, that I am aware of the alleged incident that occurred over this weekend. Right now we are in the process of gathering all the information. Once we have that appropriate information we will act in a very decisive manner which we have proven over time to do here at the University of Tennessee. That is all I will comment on that situation.
