I was with one of Texas Tech's BMD's last night. The group was discussing Micah Hudson's potential return to Tech. When asked about what Tech would have to offer Micah to get him back the donor replied, "It's not what we'd offer that's the hold up. Its up to him, if he wants to come back he'd have to stop being a modern day Edwin Simmons." What a name to drop from about forty years ago. That told me all that I needed to know about Micah's off field behavior.
Micah Hudson's been spotted in Lubbock.

No suspension from the Big12 for hitting an official. There are 1500 other players in the Big12 who would have been suspended for this.

After last years Super Bowl I remember during the post game commentary they said Patrick Mahomes salary was 14% of the Chiefs cap and that that 14% going to one player was the worst ratio for any Super Bowl winner ever. Dak percentage of their 2025 salary cap is just under 30%.
Most coaches contracts written in the last 10-15 years make it clear that criminal activity by their players is the responsibility of the campus police and the Dean of Men. It is not the coaches job or responsibility. The Clauses in the coaches contracts often prohibit them from investigating allegations. They are to forward all complaints to either the campus police or the Dean of Men. Since the contract exclusions have been introduced coaches still get in trouble even when complying. I recall recent accusations against coaches who heard of an incident and reported it as required by his contract. But whoever he reported it to didn't do a damn thing. So then the accuser tries to go after the coach for not following up after making a report. It is my opinion that once he tells the campus police or the Dean of Men about what he has heard his duty is complete. And realistically this is how it should have always been. The head coach has enough to do already.
Recently the Utah State head football coach got fired. And he had the "not my job" exemption. But he violated the contract by trying to vet what he heard before he reported it. So if some girl comes up to you as head coach and says a particular player raped me. You must make a report immediately. Asking her any questions like When or where can violate the exemptions in the contract. So if you ask when and she says Friday night October 18th. You can get fired for knowing that she's a liar since the accused was on the travel roster and was with the team in Dallas and not back on campus in Logan.
