so cynical! Let's hope Texas Tech learned from Baylor and has good Title IX processes in place. This is out of Beard's hands. Once a sexual assault allegation is filed, the player is automatically suspended until that investigation runs its course.Fozzie said:
He's a starter so girl will be paid off
That VT grad transfer who is also a starter for TT was suspended last year for beating up his girlfriend allegedly
Zebbie what's the propaganda spin here?
I would focus on the last part of your post. That's what's going to happen.zebbie said:
No spin really. My guess is that he won't be on the team, UNLESS, there is something that proves him innocent or the person pressing charges comes to some sort of settlement.
like Ashley said, I doubt this has anything to do with Beard. Any coach for any program in America is going to find a rationalization for a key player to play. If Texas Tech has any decent Title IX process, Beard won't have any role in the outcome.zebbie said:
If I had to bet..... 70 percent chance he is not going to play. 20 percent chance he is somehow found innocent. 10 percent chance the matter is settled out of court. While it he's far from indispensable and I think Beard is a no nonsense kinda coach. Just don't see him tolerating crap like this if allegations are true.
You don't get suspended for a year for smoking pot. Come on zebbie. He allegedly beat up his girlfriend.zebbie said:
I thought Chris Clarke's suspension was due to possession of marijuana...... https://www.roanoke.com/sports/college/va_tech/ty-outlaw-s-roommate-chris-clarke-charged-with-marijuana-possession/article_38e23ebd-f3df-5e15-8755-09e096528c84.html
And Francis- I haven't seen any report of behavioral issues..... https://www.alligatorarmy.com/2016/5/4/11594358/brandone-francis-ramirez-transfer-florida-gators
Anyway, while it hurts our depth, we have 3-4 capable players to fill his spot.

Culver was the only returning starter on last year's team. Norense, while experienced , was coming off an injury. Missed 11 games.. Moretti had marginal minutes.Fozzie said:You don't get suspended for a year for smoking pot. Come on zebbie. He allegedly beat up his girlfriend.zebbie said:

Corprew is pretty important for TT. I think they will make the tourney but they only have 2 guys with experience returning Edwards and Moretti. It is hard to excel with so many new guys especially when you are relying on a guy that has been hurt in Holyfield and another one Clarke who has past behavioral issues.

Does the name Jett Duffey ring a bell?

different program, different coach, different current coach now.....do you want me to list all the shady players (and coaches) who have passed through your programs?

Let's not make him out to be a no-nonsense saint. Brandone Francis had issues at Florida. Chris Clarke at Virginia Tech was suspended a full year for beating up his girlfriend and Beard took him. Corprew had some past issues before coming to Texas Tech. Most coaches are going to bring the best players in that they can get away with.
If Texas Tech has a good Title IX system, hopefully there is a just outcome but it won't be resolved quickly. If there is corruption or TT doesn't have a good Title IX system then who knows what will happen. Probably more of a microscope on the program now that they have had some recent success. I'm sure there are plenty of people watching this carefully.
Francis also played a lot the year beforezebbie said:Culver was the only returning starter on last year's team. Norense, while experienced , was coming off an injury. Missed 11 games..

he was a top 30 player coming out of high school. Let's not pretend that he's some spare.zebbie said:
Yeah, he was such the key player that we were picked 7th instead of 9th in the conference last year.
Different football coach, different program. Agreed. Lots of smoke around the program Matt Wells left at Utah State for sexual assault.zebbie said:BarleyMcDougal said:Hey dumb!@#k...zebbie said:
