People are acquitted on criminal charges but lose civil lawsuits involving the same incident. See OJ Simpson.

I've never understood how that happens..It makes our judicial system look foolish & untrustworthy..
Because defense attorneys do their job and cause juries to have doubt about the charges brought on by the state.
The burden of proof is much lower: In criminal trials, the burden of proof is reasonable doubt, which means that a normal person should not have any serious doubt about the truth of the charges. Reasonable doubt is sometimes characterized as 95% certainty about the verdict. In civil trials, the burden of proof is usually the much weaker preponderance of the evidence, meaning that a normal person weighing all of the relevant evidence would consider the charges more likely true than not.
Also, depending on the area and size of the jury, the number of jurors needed to "win" is not always 100%.

In related news, I'd love for my occupation to be, "Ex-Auburn Head Football Coach." How many do they still have on payroll?
They're like Chip Ellis (car salesman with cheesy commercials. YouTube it if you're unfamiliar) they ARE the bank! They're not worried. They got it. LOL..
And I guess, in a sense, they keep paying until they find the right one. We just find our right one and pay him handsomely.
We will have to agree to disagree here. Calling a young black man the "N" word is more than name calling--ESPECIALLY in Oxford Mississippi!! Seriously? If these boys were called derogatory words that are offensive historically to black men, then they deserved to get their butts beat. Name calling vs. HATE speech? Puleeze. No comparison.
If you hit someone you commit a very serious crime that can ruin your life. Deserving has nothing to do with it.
Stupid is the man who calls other men names, but even more stupid is the man willing to ruin his life to get even.
Not in the least. Seems odd that 7 African American football players would be at the KA house in Oxford, MS of all places.
If this is true than the KA was right in deserving a beat down but also right to pursue criminal and civil charges. Sorry, you don't get a free pass in beating someone to a pulp simply because they offended you in something they said, no matter how offensive it may be.
Decisions and actions have consequence no matter how "justified" you believe those actions are.
I do not disagree with this completely. But, if you are a jerk frat boy who calls young black men the "N" word, then just by default I don't like you and hope that you lose said lawsuit.
If the young black men had been students on financial aid, do you really think a lawsuit would have been filed? Even though they have the right, I still see this as legal extortion, just like in the Kristen Saban case. This is my humble opinion.
Not sure if that should have been in BLUE or not, but I also called them "young black men."
Are you equating "boys" to the "N" word? Sorry if I am just a little confused here.
You determining what someone deserves and that translating into a criminal or civil courtroom are entirely different universes. I don't mean to sound harsh but the idea that words being hurled at you, regardless of what they are, is deserving of hospitalization is flat out ludicrous.
I will say you have set up a nice straw man. Could the KA have made a racist remark? Sure, but it's all pure speculation that you are using to prop up your position.I do not disagree with this completely. But, if you are a jerk frat boy who calls young black men the "N" word, then just by default I don't like you and hope that you lose said lawsuit.
This is my humble opinion.
If you call someone by that racial slur and get hit, you probably deserve it. If you call someone by that racial slur and get hit, get knocked out on the floor, and then get kicked repeatedly to where you need to go to the hospital the original offendees (not really a word) probably crossed the line.
Okay, Coach Ogeron's shirt ripping routine has gotten out of hand at Ole Miss. Not a good tradition.
Not equating the terms. Boy is defiantly a term historically considered offensive though and that was the criteria you listed.
