The only story with Beamer is his current employer fining him. We already knew Va Tech accepted the plays.

Why UGA fined him and made it public is the odd part here.

I was puzzled by that part also. I guess it's just to send a message...

Usually these contracts are loaded with ethics and moral conduct language that likely enable this fine.

Is he going to fight it? He's fortunate he's already employed somewhere or he'd be ruined.
I would bet that they "negotiated" this fine. And he will not struggle to find work. He could leave today and land another job tomorrow. He is not McQueary.

How can UGA legally fine him for something that happened at his previous employer?
Here's how that discussion likely went.
Shane, you did something bad while working for a former employer. We are inclined to fire you to avoid the embarrassment to UGa. (This misconduct would obviously violate clause 31(a)(1)j of your current UGa contract.
On the other hand, we could just fine you $5k, and leave you employed here. Which would you prefer?"

I thought it was $25K?
