Bev Kearney alleges multiple inappropriate relationships at Texas

LOL...go to Texas and get screwed...

Bev I do not know how long you have been coaching, but you know you are hired to be fired. It almost sound like Bev maybe you are jealous or got dump by Applewhite and are seeking revenge.

Major Applewhite slept with that?

No. She was having a relationship with one of the athletes she was coaching.

The woman does have a point...
She sleeps with a student and gets fired.
Applewhite sleeps with a student and gets a promotion.

Conclusion: Rug shampooin' ain't equal to sausage washin' in Texas.

As much as I hate to get involved with these kind of stories, let me point out to all those making snide comments that in Applewhite's case, it was a one time event that he self-reported. In Kearney's case, it was an on-going relationship that she did not report. While the inappropriatness of the two coaches conduct is similar, their reporting/non reporting is what seperates them in the eyes of the University's administration.

Dang, Sparticus, you would bring it to a point.

Applewhite only came forward after the woman he was with admitted it.

Not sure about snide comments, and I agree that BK's is the worst, but wrong is wrong. Just because MA self-reported doesn't mean he should get a walk much less a promotion. And, on top of that, there was the "good friend" of Brown's that is no longer there because of accusations of sexual harassment...(fired, left on own accord, persuaded to quit?)

IMO, when you accept a position where you are considered an authority (and, IMO this would include teachers, law/fire officers, coaches), there are no do overs. If you do one thing to betray that trust you should be punished...whether it was one day/night or one year...whether you run to your boss and confess or not.

Of course, depending on the circumstances, you should get another chance if you prove that you have worked to rehab your behavior....but there should be punishment first.

And, FTR, I also think that famous people should be held to a higher standard. Charles Barkley once said that he didn't sign on to be anyone's idol, for kids to look up to him, but once you decide that you will work to that level of competence (whether in film, athletics or anything else that makes you famous) you are one who young children watch and try to emulate. IMO, a professional athlete begins his career, as it pertains to illegal activity, with two strikes. Any arrest for sexual misconduct or drug/alcohol reasons is the third strike.

I agree wrong is wrong. I also think we can blame President Clinton and all those (looking at you National Organization of Women) who supported him during the Lewensky affair. Clearly is was okay for the boss to fool around with the young subordinate. It was a bad lesson then, and remains a bad lesson now.
I don't agree that discipline in these matters is "one size fits all".

Speeding is speeding regardless of how much over you are going. Of course the higher the speed the more severe the punishment, but both get a ticket (and points for you in the North).

IMO, ANYone in a position of trust has a higher standard and to betray that trust is inexcusable. It was wrong for Petrino, it was wrong for BK, it was wrong for MA. He knowingly took advantage and should pay the piper now.

Among other more discriminatory reasons.
