I've seen 3 kinds of posters in this thread: 1.) The people who think (as per his contract) he should be fired just for the felony arrest. 2.) The people who think beard acted in self-defense. 3.) The people who want him retained no matter what happened. I have read every page and haven't seen anyone assert that they know the entirety of the arrest affidavit is factually correct. What goes on in your mind is God's own private mystery.

We've got to get you out of the friend zone. Step 1, go easy on the sauerkraut.

Screw that noise. Justice Finkley is going to karate kick Penix to sleep.

What is Ochaun doing this Saturday?

Stop with this nonsense. There wasn't a room full of social justice warriors sitting around, twisting their moustaches, just waiting for Beard to bite & strangle his fiancée so they could pounce. It really seems like the powers that be are keeping Beard. It is no secret that I am not a fan of this decision, however, I am now hoping that there is no photographic evidence that is damning. If there are picture of bite marks and/or neck marks, and they come out after the press conference where CDC announces he is keeping Beard, all of the "optics don't matter" crowd will learn quickly and decisively that they do matter.

I think it was for sale before the biting and the choking.

When a university doesn't address a scandal the right way, it gets brought up for years and years. Sometimes, for generations. I hope our university leadership doesn't drop us down to the same level as Baylor and ou.

This isn't about the legal system. Beard will likely not be convicted of anything and most likely shouldn't be convicted of anything. This isn't about what actually happened. She admits she started it by breaking his glasses and I think Beard most likely was just trying to keep himself from being attacked. This isn't about a pattern of being an abuser. We've seen no evidence of that. People keep discussing these 3 things over and over again. They don't matter. What matters is optics. How our program and athletics department as a whole is perceived. If Beard is retained this could, and would, be used against us in other sports in recruiting. This is why the clause was put in his contract that he can be terminated with cause for any conduct unbecoming his position, including just a felony arrest (regardless of a conviction). If Beard comes back this year or next, and this doesn't come back at us in a negative way in any form, then my concerns will have been unnecessary and I will be proven wrong. So be it, but I hope we don't take that risk.

This isn't about being sanctimonious. It is so common for abused women to falsely recant over and over again that this statement tonight is meaningless in regards to national optics. It will be humiliating to the university if CDC keeps Beard based on this statement.

What the hell are you talking about?

It doesn't matter. Per his contract, he can be fired with cause just for the felony arrest.

Abused women always do a 180. Always. Beard's contract says he can be fired for cause because of a felony arrest. Just an arrest. You are impervious to facts.

In a thread full of dumb posts, this is the dumbest.

I don't think it is even a top 100 US News ranked school.
