    I was waiting for it and I was not disappointed.

    Great work here, sir.

    I really don't see where Major Applewhite went wrong here, legally. Even if she (or he) was on the football team, Applewhite isn't Mack Brown.

    Granted, the educator-student law is rarely enforced at the college level, to Poindexter's chagrin. But the law is on the books and it does not distinguish between high school and college.

    Major is going to jail.

    The Texas law you are referring to only covers elementary through high school. Not college.

    Major Applewhite is an educator? The assistant coaches don't teach classes, do they?

    His rank should be downgraded to Private Applewhite.

    Yep. Has nothing to do with university employees and students. The UT policy I referenced appears to let Applewhite off the hook.

    But it will be portrayed as a black women being fired for doing the same thing a white male did even though that's not true.

    However, if the BoR was not aware of the Applewhite situation when Kearney was terminated DeLoss is in deep shit.
