More details coming out to backup the more severe charges. Surely he will be fired.

In all seriousness, there was never any doubt that he would be suspended. Even the Houston Chronicle was reporting early that the asst coach would coach this next game, and given the charges there was zero chance Beard would be anywhere near the sideline before the university’s own investigation along with the criminal process.

not sure if its been stated already... but can someone with insider info elaborate on what the skeletons in Beards closet were and why we didn't go after him? Same issue, or something else? ... Like what info was available a few years ago? Also looks like I have to change my profile pic

My calculations of Big Ten teams in comparison to the number of wins they should have at this point in order to make the tournament.  Three numbers:  wins, minimum # of wins needed, rating.

Purdue: 10  -  6.19 = +3.81

Wisconsin 8 - 5.39 = +2.61

Maryland 8 - 6.71 = +1.29

Michigan St 7 - 5.9 = +1.1

Indiana 8 - 6.99 = +1.01

Ohio State 7 - 6.06 = +0.94

Illinois 7 - 6.06 = +0.94

Penn St 7 - 6.48 = +0.52

Northwester 7 - 6.51 = +0.49

Iowa 7 - 6.6 = +0.40

Michigan 6 - 6.06 = -0.06

Nebraska 6 - 6.52 = - 0.52

Rutgers  6 - 7 = -1

Minnesota 4 - 6.48 = -2.48

Austin American-Statesman -

A clause in the contract allows the university to terminate or suspend Beard with cause for "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."

It is a standard clause in UT coaching contracts.

It was alluded to in a couple earlier posts and it was something that I had heard rumors of -- but internet rumors are just rumors.  I had heard indications that were problems with alcohol and in particular how he acted when he was drinking.

So when does Stu and HH start offering a law class and where can I sign up?

The one thing I was a little surprised with was that Texas went out of their way to indicate that his pay would be suspended until the investigation was over.  They may well intend to try to keep him but it seems like they are looking to at least 'put themselves on the fence' in case the charges or details 'push' them over.

I wouldn't say that. Everyone gets a second chance, especially when he/she has a valuable skill that's in high demand. 

It'll definitely be a while before his comes, and when it does it will probably be New Mexico or some lower tier program.

But yeah. Rough.

Heard Iona is big on giving second chances

This changes my perspective on the likely outcome of this. Bruises = pictures. Bite marks = pictures. 5s of choking hard enough to cut off breathing would likely leave marks that can be photographed.

He's probably done.

Or he's a sexual deviant.  Stranger things have happened.

He'll be back I think. Maybe not a P5 for quite sometime but he'll be back. Probably take over Iona after Rick leaves.

Just read the report above.  Looks like they said no acholol or durgs involved.

I can not imagine the treatment he'll receive in Lubbock if Texas reinstates him and they play at Texas Tech. 

[rcbowla 7,343]

Not that it matters but the whole story isn't being told and it's pretty obvious. Why would a grown man bite someone on the arm? Only 2 reasons: 1) to get them to move their arm from where it is which would obviously be a defense 2) to eat them. Again it doesn't matter because he cannot do what he did and he deserves to be fired and held accountable but she probably is throw an ash tray through sliding glass door kinda crazy as well. Just guessing.

Lot of injuries listed.  Also noteful that the victim indicated that while they had relationship issues for the past couple of days, nothing had preceded Beard 'snapping'.
