Unless his girlfriend was a trainer or someone connected to the team in some way I don't see the problem from a legal standpoint. Maybe someone who understands the law better than I do (which would be ust about everyone) can explain it to me. I know Gottfried had a similar problem here, but he was a head coach. I know it looks bad, but would it be a problem if he wre an English professor?
The attempt, by the T and F coach and her legal team, is to show different punishments for the "same crime" due to gender, sexual orientation, maybe even race, who knows. If the two indiscretions are deemed similar there could be a serious disaster on the horizon for UT athletics.

Even though the "incident" happened before the game? :D
Applewhite did the trainer. So Football Karma demanded a sacrifice. So Colt had to get hurt, and there's been a disturbance in The Force ever since.

So maybe the refrain will go from, "If Cold hadn't gotten hurt," to "If Applewhite had kept his hands to himself." But I doubt it.

LOL. Never doubt the ability of a UT fan to twist it to make the connection.

BTW, I'm sure glad Applewhite was long gone from UA when this happened. For a number of reasons!
Same thing crossed my mind. Seeing the pix of the trainer in question, he's pretty non-discriminating. Of course, his wife was nine months pregnant and about to deliver...

Was the 2009 Fiesta Bowl the one where they had the bowl officials get in trouble over a wild party at a strip club?

I see the volleyball coach's lawyer is filing a suit over both race and gender. The hits just keep on coming.
