That allegation from Kearney’s attorney according to the SA Express.

The EEOC has 180 days to investigate her claim of gender and racial discrimination before Kearney and attorney, Derek Howard, can sue. Which they intend to do.

The money quote:

Howard said he has knowledge of “in excess of 10″ inappropriate relationships between UT staffers and subordinates. He said such relationships are “part of the culture” at UT and that none of the staffers involved have been subject to the same treatment Kearney received when the school discovered last fall she’d had an affair with a student-athlete in 2003.

Mind you, his claim potentially includes all of the University of Texas – not just the Athletics department. Nevertheless, there are some nervous administrators in Bellmont Hall right now. Because there may be some fire for this smoke.

Last Night’s Sweet 16 Games, the State of College Basketball, and Rick Barnes

Posted by    |    March 24th, 2012 at 5:30 am

Are you not entertained?

Debating Rick Barnes and his ceiling, floor, and whether a coach who wins 20+ every year and makes the NCAA Tournament should be shown the exit door, has been an interesting and maddening internet debate over the last two or three years, eventually leading me to ask if Texas fans were over Rick Barnes.

This after an unacceptable three year downswing resulting in a cumulative 72-31 record and three NCAA Tourney appearances (with a 1-3 performance) for a Texas basketball program with the rich comparable history of Oregon St, Alabama-Birmingham, and Dayton.

But history isn’t an insurmountable river (just cross the TJ Ford) when facility tributaries and favorable demographics eddy at a confluence: witness rise of Florida, Miami, and FSU football. Modern Texas basketball should be good, history be damned. That’s not “We’re Texas” babble – it’s objective market analysis. (more…)
