Count 'Bility Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It's gonna go down. It's just taking time for the ducks to be put in order. It's still gonna be big news once the sh#t actually hits the fan. I hope. Quote Link to comment

Kiyoat Husker Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/article/Longhorns-Insider-Kearney-case-not-going-away-4368627.php So, I did a little google search to see what was up with the Bev Kearney case. Apparently: Kearney's lawyer filed a complaint against UT with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and the Texas Workforce Commission alleging racial and gender discrimination, as well as retaliation. The EEOC has 180 days to investigate Kearney's claim before she can sue UT, which her lawyer,Derek Howard, said she intends to do. The 180-day window expires Sept. 8. In the meantime, multiple staffers at UT — including in the athletic department — could be subject to questioning. Howard said he has knowledge of “in excess of 10” inappropriate relationships between UT staffers and subordinates. Sucks to have to wait, but at least this stuff will come out just in time for football season! Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 The suit may be filed on or around September 8th, but the Fifth Circuit likely won't hear the case for several months after. I don't have any idea about the backlog of cases they have, but we won't have anything like an answer to this case this year. Quote Link to comment
Kiyoat Husker Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 yeah, I guess the wheels of justice always move slowly... the bigger question is why won't any media outlet touch this? Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 yeah, I guess the wheels of justice always move slowly... the bigger question is why won't any media outlet touch this? ESPN won't because they are in League with ye Old Whornes. Tarnishing them means losing viewers of the LongWhorne Network. There aren't any viewers of the LongWhorne Network. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hey I'm just talking about what TV executives think, not what I think. I don't believe for a moment that this is what TV execs think. 1 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 What does Charlie Sheen have to do with Texas? Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 What does Charlie Sheen have to do with Texas? Yeah, he has his own show now where he calls all the shots. Just got one of his castmates fired. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 So Charlie Sheen goes batsh!t crazy and freaks out on the executives of his own network forcing them to fire him. ALL of media covered this. Texas has allegedly been involved in some harassment and other deviancy to which there is a lawsuit and no media will touch it for fear of losing viewers? Sorry your "leap" was not a good one. 2 Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 You have not made one convincing argument as to why not one network has refused to pick up the Texas story. ESPN aside, if there was something to this, another channel would have done something with it if this had teeth. With regards to Charlie Sheen, which bares ZERO correlation to Texas, EVERY network reported on him for that short time. This includes CBS who had to fire him and risked potentially losing money. I don't see the CBS exec's not allowing their news people or celebrity reporting shows to report on him out of fear. Does that make sense to you? Because this discussion between you and I has gone on longer than it probably should have. 1 Quote Link to comment
