But didn't Hunt at least get suspended? "Permanently" for 1 season, IIRC.
This kid was an incoming recruit, allowed to play from day 1.

his punishment never fit the crime.
He choked out and assaulted a LADY Memphis Tiger player who was his girlfriend...
Personally, I would never have let him set foot on campus again.

Shows the control Cal had on the entire university during his reign.

Good point

Brings back a memory.

And letting Dixon come here was pretty shocking. It wasn’t just one woman he allegedly assaulted btw. Memphis lawyers and docs ( basketball fans) that I know read the emergency room hospital reports — they were offended Dixon was allowed to go anywhere . People lived on the edge monitoring him and keeping him out of ‘trouble’ while he was here.

That was during Pastner’s reign

Hunt, Dixon, Dozier, Seen Banks, there has been a few over the years that we know about.

That was then...and this is now. Seems more shocking when it happens now. They can't keep things as quiet as they used to.

But there's always Marv Albert to fall back on for idiocy... they just did a tribute to him I think...

How much jail time did Hunt get ?

If you dig for it you can find all the stuff that Hunt has done and gotten away with. I won't post it, it is repulsive beyond description.

No. It was quite shocking when it happened then and Cal let him play. Jeremy sure didn’t learn any lesson since he continued to drink and drive until he cut that poor guy’s legs off.

There is small town shocking, nationally shocking and world shocking. Shock adds up depending on the amount of folks feelin it.

I know about the dui. I’m talking specifically about the case with the girlfriend.

I doubt he gets jail time but he sure won't be coaching next year.

He may not be coaching for a very long time. I sure as hell would not let my kid play for someone like him...

We all say that but Chris Jans was recorded groping women in a bar and now he has an SEC job.

It was the girlfriend that did it...

Now that they’ve sobered up, she reallizes her winning lottery ticket about to be snatched away.

I’m sure he’s got at least several million in the bank. Even if he serves jail time and never works again, he’ll live comfortably. As the fiancee, she will get nothing. That socialite dream is dead.

Doesn't that happen many, many times in domestic violence? The woman - once distance is created - tries to recant her story, based on the belief of his promise that he will never do that again.

Exactly. She can’t live with him and can’t live without him. Or Vice versa , I’ve seen husband beaters too

One of them has to go to prison.

I'm glad you make this point. It's easy to blame the man in this situation, but who really knows? Is she an honest, credible person or a violent hothead with a hair trigger? Is he a violent, abusive man? Very few people know what really happened, and it's a bit crazy to jump on a bandwagon when it could go either way.

Hopefully time will tell what the facts truly are. It would be a shame to demonize and destroy a man if he is indeed innocent. That doesn't mean I'm saying that he is. None of us know.
