Major (bad) news coming about Texas?

  Speculation at this point, but there is some buzz out there. Apparently the university's general counsel quit today as well.

  Uh?

  Reading now that the rumor is a whole bunch of coaches (across multiple sports - potentially including Rick Barnes and school president Bill Powers) were having relations with students and the AD covered it up. A women's track coach was fired in January for a relationship but apparently it might be much more widespread.

  I realize that that s against the "rules," but if both are over the consenting age, WHO GIVES A FUCK???
  
  Same why I felt about the supposed Les Miles rumor.

  Yea, college kids are adults, unless these coaches are teaching these kids in a class, it is what it is.

  There are more types of improper relationships than just adult/minor. Any relationship between people with influence and people without it are a potential danger to an organization.

  My thoughts too. But they might have an issue if it comes out and they forced out a female coach for this, but then covered up for the males who bring in the cash

  Should be given the death penalty.

  I could not possibly care less about that situation.

  Rick Barnes has officially withdrawn his name from consideration to be involved in this mess.

  So did the "big news" come out?
• Gameover

  I went to a small school in Western PA and the coaches were told not to hang out with students or go out to bars/restaurants in town. But professors were allowed to hang out with students at the bars.

  Agreed.
