This will likely get bad for the University of Texas before it improves.

when you consider what she did and when compared to what the golden boy did and when and the punishments received it sure has hell looks like discrimination.

I don't think so. She had sex with a student athlete that she coached!

Applewhite was disciplined (maybe should have been fired), but his offense was not with a student over whom he had direct control.

Kearney was rightfully terminated.

From the phrasing in the article, it is not clear WHEN the consensual sexual relationship occurred in terms of "former" student athlete - while she was a student or after she left the program. From the fuss, I would infer the former rather than the latter was the case. Under what circumstances did the incident come to be discovered? It's not the kind of topic one casually brings up in the usual course of conversation. Was it pursuant to some investigation of the coach? Did someone happen upon them like the shower incident at Penn State?

From the context, is seems pretty clear she was a current athlete at the time, and that said athlete came forward and spilled the beans, for whatever reason.

UT seems to be hanging its hat on the fact that Applewhite informed them of his relationship and his honey wasn't directly answerable to him.

If Kearns wins, it will be because UT is winging it instead of consistently enforcing policy.
