Charlotte Bingham was the Vice Chancellor who investigated Craig James' allegations. These snippets are culled from her deposition in which one can see that the substance of Adam James accusations, namely that he was confined in an electrical closet as his video suggested, was materially false.
(Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 80.) Indeed the trainer who took Adam James to the media room specifically told Adam James he did not want him in the electrical closet. (Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 80-81.) Yet Adam went in there on his own.
“Adam James told me that he went into the electrical closet and that he stood in the electrical closet for approximately five minutes.” (Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 83.) Therefore, she reported back to Texas Tech officials that “Adam was not confined in the electrical closet.” (Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 195-196.) The President’s Chief of Staff, Grace Hernandez, also investigated these allegations and said Adam “never had to stand in electrical closet.” (Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 150.) Ms. Bingham never recommended dismissal of Coach Leach. (Deposition of Charlotte Bingham at p. 46.)
Even granting arguendo that Tech had a technicality on which they could have fired Leach, the world hates the administration that did it. When you stand up for them, you help answer the question of why people still look down on Tech and many of its apologists.
