He kissed a coed... So what?

Who cares? I mean, really. Does anyone here care?

Non-story IMO.

So this wasn't a dream

If true, this is the saddest statement I've heard on all this so far...

I wonder how many parents know it is basically "open season" for professors and staff at UT with students there as long as there is no direct supervision or line of authority for grades etc...

They need to nuke this athletic department from orbit.

Wish I could agree with you but I can't.

- You can dig up all the regulations and org charts you want, a good lawyer can show that the student trainer-coach relationship is very similar to coach-athlete or supervisor-employee. She may not have reported to him directly but she was his subordinate; if an asst coach gives an order to a student trainer they will comply or at least feel like they need to

- The fact that his "punishment" was keeping the same salary for a few months is going to enrage a lot of women. Combine with Kearney and UT is plainly busted as a good-ol-boys network that sweeps the man's indiscretion under the carpet (no pun) while the woman is publicly shunned

Then combine this with Mack not firing Cleve Bryant for sexual misconduct and that several assistant coaches were at the bar with Case and Hicks in San Antonio and it is going to be easy to prove a double standard exists in the program.

This is on Dodds for sure because the Univeristy is about to pay some people a lot of money.

It has been unclear to me whether the "student was from UT or elsewhere. OB posters reported it was an Arizona student.

Has anyone seen confirmation of the school from whence the student hailed?

There's some people associated with the University that disagree with you. Pucker factor is high.

Bryant was terminated because of his misconduct, just not immediately because of the investigation that had to occur. Because of internal operating procedures and other regulatory processes, rarely is anyone employed by the government fired immediately. They are typically placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.

Never heard anything about coaches being present in the bar with Case and Hicks (not that that has anything to do with what allegedly happened in a hotel room). What's the source of that info? Not trying to be snarky. Just askin'.

No I am not.

I would still come back to an employee knowingly violating a morality clause (which she admitted) by carrying on a relationship with one of her direct athletes, covering it up and resigning as a result. Its ground for dismissal for cause

Comparing it to a creepy old guy who hit on a girl and subsequently lost his job or an asst coach having a 1 night stand with some student who may or may not even be a Texas student, self reporting it and being disciplined for it wouldn't convince me of anything you are trying to suggest.

now if you can show me where other coaches were knowingly having relationships with their student athletes, hiding those relationships from their superiors and lying about it for a period of time then you have my attention. Otherwise you are wasting my time.

Just my 2 cents without knowing all the facts but Dodds is looking at a early retirement. The key here is that after firing Bryant and paying off the girl Bryant was then set up with a high paying job with a BMD. I believe that Bev expected the same treatment. To be set up with a job with a Texas BMD. The Applewhite situation is just more gas for the fire. They should have paid Bev off with a settlement or set her up with a job with a BMD. Now we are looking at a national embarrassment for Texas right before signing day.
