@Cordale10 Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS

Got the skinny from my brother, a Texas alum and a subscriber to their Rivals board.
"Bev" is the former softball coach at UT, who was fired for having relations with either a player or a trainer. After the Applewhite news came out, and the situation was "dealt with internally" but he wasn't fired, "Bev" filed suit for wrongful termination.
On their rivals board, somebody asked if something would go down this weekend/soon, and they responded "potentially yes, if the Bev camp plays the ace up their sleeve." Somebody asked if the ace would be worse than Major, and they responded "yes." They wouldn't post anything else though in case it doesn't come out, so it wouldn't be slanderous. Apparently the guy being pointed at in the meantime is Barnes, who could have potentially had relations with a student (all speculation).
Interesting stuff though. Barnes is a good coach, although he's like Mack 2.0- except he coaches basketball.

If its an athletic wide prostitution ring then they do need to be shut down.
Now having said that, wild internet rumors do come true. We have all seen that over the past 3 years with our own. I remember many saying that the sandusky rumors were just that, wild internet rumors. Turns out they were true.
We have all seen them not to be founded either.
If sandusky has taught us anything, its to wait for the facts.

I know misery loves company but I really hope there are no issues at Texas. It shouldn't make us feel any better to have another school drug in the mud (unless it was Pitt). I remember what it felt like when other school's fan bases were ripping us and hoping we were shut down. I refuse to take that same route. Besides, college football is better when certain schools are relevant an Texas is one of those schools (and no, I am not a fan of Texas at all). It's a fact that college football is just better when schools like Miami, Florida State, Notre Dame, Penn State, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, Oklahoma, Nebraska, LSU, etc are all relevant. Lets take the high road and hope for this story to have no legs. And if the truth comes out otherwise than we can air our opinions. Always remember our anger and hurt when the shoe was on the other foot.

They shouldn't be shut down, and if it doesn't give them any competitive advantages the NCAA shouldn't be involved at all. What should happen is that law enforcement should deal with it and be done with it. The problem for the NCAA is that now they've set precedence with PSU.
Lets say there is illegal prostitution going on in UT athletics and Dodds and some other higher ups knew about it and did nothing. The NCAA is stuck as this is illegal and highly unethical. Do they punish and risk another high profile lawsuit or not punish and help PA's case?
Al that said, I really don't think it is prostitution though, probably the innapropriate relationships ITT.
