Is Beard still with the same woman today? If not, why? Do we know if she received payment for recanting her story? 

These are all questions I would want a private investigator to answer.

I did check your question earlier about whether Beard settled with Texas he didn’t.

No one is justifying DV, but there is more to the story than just the police report.  There are alot of things missing from that report.  Long and short of it, is no one really knows what happened that night.  Charges were dropped, because the evidence to support wasn't there, and then she recanted.  Later apoogized at the presser to Ole Miss. and stated that everything Beard did, was in self defense.  So do we believe her statement to police over that statement later..............that is the issue.

Partly right. The charges were dropped because the victim recanted... wonder what could have caused that?

No they are not together anymore.  I can't answer the why or settlement.

and without her statement they couldn't convict based on the lack of evidence.  So I'll take half right, better than half wrong.  :)

He’s been there 11 years. Nobody would hire him at a big job during that time. And he’s went to one FF, so I don’t know about all the title talk.

Death, taxes, and Houston finishing in the top 5 in Kenpom. Who knows what would have happened last year if Shead hadn't gotten hurt in the tourney.

Nope, I have never been arrested for anything. I have no criminal record and never done anything to deserve to get arrested 

Likewise... I'm sure that the vast majority of people here can say the same... not sure what Hornsby's point is...

If he was innocent, why didn't he put up any fight over a for cause termination that cost him over $25 million? 

Some of you are such rubes.

Because he would have lost. Even though the charges were dropped, the damage was already done according to his contract. Best to take the $4M and move on.

Per the Austin American Statesmen, the University of Texas has a “clause in the contract allows the university to terminate or suspend Beard with cause if "Any conduct (a) that the University administration reasonably determines is clearly unbecoming to a Head Coach and reflects poorly on the University, the Program, or The University of Texas System; or (b) resulting in a criminal charge being brought against Head Coach involving a felony, or any crime involving theft, dishonesty, or moral turpitude."

The media PR would be tough at the beginning. But it would go away once we started winning. 

Yes. Until the next incident. Which with an alcoholic who apparently can become violent and unpredictable, is a near certainty. 

So you get past the initial onslaught and start winning. Things are rolling. Then the headline in the paper one day reads “Indiana University men’s basketball coach drives drunk, kills family of 4” or something catastrophic, and then has to be removed with everyone involved shouldering the blame. That, and that alone, is the reason I doubt such a hire would happen. The AD and president would be sticking their necks out.

If Beard were showing himself to be a different man… one who no longer drinks, spends his free time in therapy, doing Bible study and community service… and sustained that for at least a decade, I’d be more inclined to entertain the idea. But it appears he’s not doing anything of the sort and if you try to force conditions on him it’s doomed from the start. Yawn.

Any chance you folks can take this Beard **** somewhere else? Let’s get back to the main topic. How about a 3:30 press conference tomorrow? Who’s with me?

Man screw that.  If it isn't 3:00pm then count me out
