It will be interesting to see if Tech says "yes, we did have cause" or "you can't sue us we're the state".

I'm no lawyer but discovery could be pretty bad for both parties.

Lawyers should do fairly well in all this. ScoutBear you need to get in on some of this gravy.

If I am a coach, I would not want go there. Most seem to leave and sue. Says a lot about the school. Says a lot about who they hire.

It came out today. It looks like some poorly vetted this decision.

It will probably be settled out of court. I imagine she'll get a little cash and a free home delivered pizza every week for ten years.

Most likely. Employment guidelines in Texas don't help her much, and the PR will be bad.

PR for both sides would like it to go away.

Similar story, but some players coming to her defense. Bottom line is Hocutt doesn't really care about women's sports, just wants them to show up and shut up.

They have hired an "independent law firm" to review across all programs. Found it ironic that the firm is "Holland & Knight" given the schools relationship with their form men's bb coach.
