Riders to reveal Tillman's fate on Friday
The Saskatchewan Roughriders will announce Friday whether or not they plan to sever ties with disgraced general manager Eric Tillman.
Saskatchewan Roughrider fans waiting to hear if general manager Eric Tillman has a future with the CFL team will soon get their answer.
Rider spokesman Ryan Whippler says the team will announce its decision Friday, although no time has yet been set for a media conference.
The team's board of directors met Wednesday to discuss Tillman's future after he pleaded guilty this week to sexually assaulting his children's teenage babysitter.
The judge who granted Tillman an absolute discharge said he believed Tillman was sorry.
The defence said Tillman's behaviour was fuelled by a bad combination of sleep aids and pain medication taken for a sore back.
A contrite Tillman said outside court that he hoped his actions wouldn't cost him his job.
