On Tuesday afternoon, a USA TODAY report detailed allegations of wrongdoing against Jimbo Fisher and his Texas A&M coaching staff, made by former LB Santino Marchiol.
On Tuesday evening, after a Texas A&M practice, Fisher had to address the media, and of course, he was asked about the report.

The report just came out, so we’ll see what happens in response to it in the coming days. For now, though, everything is up in the air in College Station.
