Texas Wahoo

As a reminder, this is when Wallace Hall and two of his cronies were still on the Board. My understanding is that UT agreed to drop the campus in part so the legislature would not gum up the process of replacing those regents.

UH said it was a waste of public money to put another public school in Houston because Houston already has a public school and that any money for a UT campus in Houston should just go to UH.

Maybe about Mitchell. Maybe nothing. Edit: Appears to be Mitchell

We did. We sent him to our AAA affiliate in New Jersey.

What list?

If they are not one of the first, they are at least the first.

They can still transfer to as many schools as they want, just some restrictions on joining the football team (cash cow business/sport for any school) if they do so. I don't think it's totally unfair in the age of school provided stipend and NIL, none of which the non athlete student gets. The entire point of NIL vs just paying the players is that all non-athlete students can get NIL money. As for the academic stipends above scholarships, lots of schools offer those to non-athlete students based on academic merit and/or need.

Michigan (multiple times) and Michigan State have both made it to the playoffs.

However you feel about unlimited transfers, I am not sure what it has to do with the term "student athletes." I'm pretty sure other students are allowed to transfer schools as many times as they want.

Seems to suggest the sources suggesting him for Texas were on the Baylor side and they just assumed where he was looking.

But is he worth the squeeze?

This is such terrible use of language. "There would certainly be more than meets the eye... at least we assume so, we'll need to learn about it first."

Maybe an attempt to get them not to fire Beard?

Seth Davis lists a lot of great coaches and then says he thinks we hire Rodney Terry...

That may technically be true, but he was an interim head coach for multiple years at USC: Prior to his appointment as head coach at Texas in April of 2001, Elliott posted two remarkable seasons as the interim head coach at the University of Southern California. He compiled a record of 50-12 while leading the Women of Troy to their first NCAA Semifinals appearance in 15 years and first-ever share of the Pac-10 Conference title. In 2000, USC finished the season ranked No. 4 nationally by both the AVCA and Volleyball Magazine while going 29-3 en route to the NCAA Semifinals. Elliott was honored as Pac-10 Coach of the Year both seasons, as well as being named the 2000 Pacific Region Coach of the Year. Under the leadership of Elliott, the Trojans featured two All-Americans in 2000 (April Ross and Jennifer Pahl) and six all-conference players, including the Pac-10 and Region Freshman of the Year (Ross). In both 2000 and 2001, Elliott’s recruiting class was regarded as No. 1 in the nation, the school’s first-ever No. 1 recruiting classes.

Agreed. If a woman is attacking you, run. If you cannot run, just die.

Maybe I missed it, but he never admitted to hitting her, did he?

And he's going to argue that he was totally innocent. Unless we are going to say that being falsely arrested is grounds for termination, then there is an argument about what actually happened. That is my point here. I think firing him was the right decision, although I do not understand why they waited so long if they were not really doing any additional investigation. But I am just not as willing as most to think that Beard does not have a legal avenue to complain if he so chooses.

You're experience with cops must be very different that my, admitted second hand experience. My wife used to do civil cases involving the cops and their MO generally seemed to be arrest first, worry about everything else later.

According to her own statement, she literally accosted him and broke his glasses while he was sitting down and reading, but calling the cops is one step too far? My guess is that something physical happened, but it seems like a line-drawing exercise to try to determine exactly what she was capable of doing because she was mad at him for not paying her enough attention.

*alleged fight. The whole point is we do not know what happened that led to his arrest. It seems likely there was a two-way fight, but we do not know that at this point.

That whole discussion was bout claiming sovereign immunity. A&M could get out of the contract by firing him for cause and then not have to prove the cause because of sovereign immunity. Like I said, I don't think they would do that, but they can because Texas has crazy strong sovereign immunity laws.

That's not legally correct. The employer has the burden of proving the cause when firing an employee for cause.
