All in all, this is going to end up a great outcome for everyone. A few Big 12 schools are going to win at a higher level than they ever have, play in better TV windows than they ever have, etc., while still making really good money. UT and OU will be in a conference of peer athletic departments for the first time, ticket values will go up, donations will go up, etc.
This could prove a bad move for OU. They’re going to win the conf much less frequently (never?), so they can’t sell that in recruiting, and if you think they’ve played dirty historically, they’re going to see what next-level versions of that look like. Alum support in SEC is much different, in fall there is football & hunting, nothing else comes close in priority. One of our companies has had block of tix to LSU games for decades, so have somewhat inside perspective, at least there. Whole ‘nutha level of recruiting tactics. NIL may change things, b/c now above board(ish), but back to OU, doubtful they can compete w/ $. Time will tell. Frequent conf championships v. rarely/never winning one will likely have an effect.

She was trying to avoid getting raped after the game. Still probably got raped.
Fuck Baylor.
Versus the 55% here. I never get the holier than thou perspective. Glass houses, throwing stones, something something.

Nephew played HS basketball, my sister (his mom) was typically the loudest fan at any game. He hated it. His team played TX School for the Deaf, as a favor to him, I told her that to be fair to both teams, the refs were also hearing impaired. I attended the game, she didn’t yell once. Otw home, she commented how nice the ref gesture was. Nephew only then told her that the refs weren’t deaf, I just told her that so she wouldn’t yell. He still laughs about it & thanks me to this day.

The New Yorker occasionally had some good cartoons.
One favorite from cartoon caption contest- cartoon was a fish sitting at the bar, talking to the bartender. Winning caption was “I’m also a fish out of scotch.”

My wife is 100% out of fans of any kind. She ripped all the ceiling fans out of the house when we bought it other than the "cool" looking one in the boy's room.
I like sleeping in there.
Weird, b/c she seems to love onlyfans.

*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.
Conduct unbecoming can be as simple as not having the judgment to extract himself from the situation in a manner that avoided embarrassing UT. Alleged fight or no fight. Assuming arguendo that she was the aggressor and the only person who acted violently in any way (and, I think that’s highly unlikely), he still didn’t extract himself from the situation, resulting in his arrest & mugshot photo & video. Even if DA ultimately dismisses charges, still doesn’t undo conduct unbecoming. I thought dismissal of Beard & of charges would both happen, I also continue to think there’ll be a settlement to avoid discovery for all. I suspect there’ll also be a settlemt btwn Beard & his (presumably soon-to-be-ex-)fiancée, to avoid her suing & airing Beard dirty laundry, compromising future coaching opportunities. I’d add that now that Minton chose the aggressive path, politically motivated DA may be more not less apt to press charges (not that DA’s are political or anything). All stupid and unnecessary. Still undefeated, it seems- can even make you flush your dream job.

What you’re saying, if I understand you correctly, is that it wouldn’t be logical for her to call the cops unless Beard were at fault somehow. Let’s say that’s true.
That doesn’t mean she did, in fact act logically. The judicial system is chock full o’ situations in which grown ass people do not act logically in situations like this or in situations of domestic discord, in general.
Once we accept that people act illogically in similar, or even calmer, domestic situations, everything you built on the foundation of her actions necessarily being logical just collapses in on itself. And that’s leaving aside the dubious assertion that he assaulted her “regardless of who initiated it.”
Of course, both parties can be guilty of assault, regardless who initiated. I’d say likelihood that fiancée assaulted him, he didn’t respond violently, but she called 911, despite his non-violent response, is asymptotically close to zero. Are you suggesting that, or are you suggesting violent response from him, but it was pure self-defense? Either way, I’d say those would be less probable/logical explanations. Net-net, if you’re paid $$$, just don’t screw it up. It’s pretty easy to avoid “conduct unbecoming” and should be even easier to avoid a felony. I stand by my prediction- there’s a compromise buyout so all can avoid discovery/litigation, and he’s gone. Beard pays soon-to-be ex-fiancée & gets NDA, and everybody goes their own way. DA likely does nothing (or probation at most), recognizing that with fiancée changing her story, apt to be reluctant witness. We’ll know soon.

You are probably right, but should other people talking shit affect the decision being made by Texas?IMO, the correct decision is clear. W-L record & how players or others feel is irrelevant. Logic says cops didn’t get called, absent Beard having acted violently. Why would she (or one of his kids) call (I don’t recall if police report said she or one of his daughters called)? They’re not getting divorced, there’s no child custody dispute to leverage by calling, and there’s zero upside to 911 call. She’s going to burn the whole thing down & end her meal ticket by calling 911 over nothing? That fails the logic test. Maybe he broke off their engagement, and she lost it, but even then, you don’t call 911. And, there’s nothing in the report to indicate that as the catalyst. If simplest explanation is the obvious one, you have the 2nd(?) highest paid state employee domestically assaulting his live-in fiancée, regardless who initiated things. Proving “conduct unbecoming,” the part “A” of grounds for termination with cause, wouldn’t be hard (police report & pinstripe video would likely be enough), and Beard would risk torching his career, if he chose to go through civil litigation and the discovery that’d entail. What are the odds there’s nothing else ugly between these two that would come out from Lubbock or ATX days, given this incident? And, Belmont wouldn’t want their HR history aired either, which would be his counsel’s likely scorched-earth strategy. Because of that, I think it settles financially, and he’s gone. We’ll know shortly.

When Banks is only the 3rd least-stable coach on campus, it seems there’s a problem.

Well that is an impressive level of bitchassedness to get sanctimonious vibes from my post about the girls going to high school in Abilene.
Merry Christmas, you giant babies. Now I am on a high horse.Conveniently ignored the report below. “It wasn’t the 55% of undergraduates being sexually assaulted, it was the hypocrisy.” ~Norm Macdonald

Surely he is arraigned today and out on bond. Given we have a game tonight, there has to be a statement made by either him or the University well before that. It's not like he can just show up and coach today as if nothing happened.
Statement just released by Belmont.

Yup. Baylor DGAF
People here keep wondering why the continued coaching fails happen. Process matters. Did UT do proper diligence on Herman, Sark, Beard, or just impulse hire, without properly vetting for issues that were discoverable with due diligence? Fwiw- Banks is still on staff at UT. Any flags there that you see?

TCU vs KU - 0 holds
TCU vs OSU - 0 holds
TCU vs KSU - 1 hold (2:30 in 3rd)
TCU vs WV - 2 holds (5:55 in 1st, 14:39 in 2nd)

Quick check of SEC fan sites will reveal the perceived fairness, impartiality, and professionalism of SEC refs. Good future news for ppl who like bad news.

See below, from Pres Fenves, 2017. Do you think 55% (15 + 28 + 12) at UT is funny, Js1, or have you not seen this?
“Today, we are releasing a report that details the prevalence of sexual assault and misconduct at The University of Texas at Austin. The data is drawn from the Cultivating Learning and Safe Environments (CLASE) survey that the University of Texas System conducted at 13 UT institutions across the state last year.
The results of this survey of our students are of tremendous concern to me, and I know these findings are deeply troubling to every member of our community. This survey reveals a problem in our university, as well as society, that has existed in the shadows for too long.
CLASE found that 15 percent of undergraduate women at UT Austin reported that they had been raped, either through force, threat of force, incapacitation or other forms of coercion such as lies and verbal pressure. Furthermore, 28 percent of undergraduate women at UT Austin said they were the victims of unwanted sexual touching, and 12 percent experienced attempted rape.”
