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

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. 

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.

Oof.  That's rough.

We'll never see this guy in the public eye again.

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.

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.

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.

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'.

[Josh]

You'd think the liquor stores would suffer with Beard locked up, but they still have Steve Sarkesian to provide revenue.

There are infinite physical violence scenarios where the aggressor could bite, including to prevent the victim from defending themself.

Texas hasn't won the Big 12 football championship since 2009 despite the stupid money they put into the program.  Their liquor stores will be fine.

I'm not getting your takes.  You seem to be grasping for reasons as to why he's not guilty.  The simplest answer as to why a 'grown man' would bite someone is they are not in a rational state of mind.  

The last statement -- that she is 'probably crazy' is exactly why some women refuse to press chargers.

Seems like a strange move for the aggressor but maybe so. Anyhow it doesn't matter if she's crazy or not (for the record I'm sticking with my guess) he needs to have self control and remove himself from the situation. Clearly he did not, is a piece of crap and will pay for his mistakes one way or another.

Interesting that he has audio to prove he wasn't the aggressor but wouldn't let the police listen to it. Maybe saving it for trial or he don't have any. Either way probably smart to wait and let his lawyer have it instead?

I am also really shocked he didn't come to iu now. We would right now be undefeated so far after a huge win against Arizona with the future looking bright and then boom this happens lol. Hopefully if guilty he never coaches again because frankly he shouldn't lead young men if so

He SAYS he has audio.

that may be incredibly different from actually having audio.

Texas down 4 at half lol.
