The implication is that Bev Kearney, a former UF coach who was fired there for a relationship with one of her athletes, is mad enough that she is about to burn the house down. Here is the thread at ShaggyBevo.

I'm hearing this too but at this point there don't seem to be many details....but given that some insiders as well as radio show hosts, etc etc are discussing it it does seem to have legs. Some kind of seks scandal is what is being said. Beyond that it all seems to be wild (though pretty entertaining) speculation.

Man o man are my horn buddies in panic mode. Supposedly lack of institutional control coming from NCAA. They are hoping this gets rid of Barnes and Mack though.

Lack of prostitutional control. (Yes, I know..... Just sounded funny) sorry... It's late!

Is somebody shaggin' Bevo?

FloridaxGators1 · 03-09-2013, 03:19 AM

I read on a Texas board that it could be a possibility that Muschamp is involved... Dont kill the messenger please...

I have to admit I thought of this at first, too. Assuming whatever happened happened some time ago, you'd have to believe it occurred when he was there at least. I hope there's absolutely no connection, but you never know...

And that's where this thread should stop. 1) It's a rumour thread (which I thought the powers-that-be didn't like) and 2) it was naturally going to descend into comments about Muschamp.

Let it be, peeps. If there's a story it will out. Nothing good will come of aimless chatter in the meantime...

Beverly Kearney, their women's track coach, was fired for an inappropriate sexual relationship with a UT student. She's pissed off and wants revenge because Major Applewhite had a similar relationship and they merely gave him a reprimand. None of the twitter folks have given any indication Muschamp was involved. Looked like his name was just thrown into the mix with Dodds, Brown and others because he was their during a portion of Kearney's tenure at Texas.

Swampmaster · 03-09-2013, 05:38 AM

she will announce by twitter she's having an affair with les miles!

Since when does the NCAA regulate consensual sex between adults? There may well be a sex scandal brewing at UT but the NCAA should have nothing to do with it.

The Aubrey Hill thing came to mind-- obviously we wouldn't get hit by the NCAA but I think they can suspend a coach ( they can obviously prevent future jobs by linking a show cause penalty to a coach) but if they can't suspend a coach for past actions at another program then they can't do anything right?

Coach-athlete wouldn't be ok due to the power relationship involved. I assume universities have policies to prohibit that sort of thing. The NCAA? You raise a great question, but it wouldn't surprise me if they had sexual conduct policies too.

For Kearns it was an athlete wasn't it? I mean the reason that things like that and Petrino cost jobs isn't the sex it's the possibility of favoritism, if an unmarried coach bangs her/his way through fraternity/sorority row good for her/him as long as no one's hurt and it's all consensual (married I'd have a problem but on a moral side not an employment see unless it hurt recruiting)-- so long as no one is getting a job, a starting spot etc out of it.

Does anyone know the answer to my previous question, can the NCAA do anything about a coach if he's currently employed but not at the school whether violations occurred? I mean "show cause" doesn't matter if you already have a job right?

I don't think that's the issue! She got fired because of her actions, so that part of it appear to be done.

But it appears that to get revenge, she plans to expose non-related illegal activities to the NCAA that will get the school in trouble. Kind of like what Nevin Shapiro did to Miami. At least that's how I read it.

Actually I am on my phone so I won't be able to find it, but allegedly her contention is apparently that a bunch of other "sexual" cases occurred while she was there and were swept under the rug, so she believes she was treated unfairly relative to others in a similar position. It has the potential to make a lot of people look bad.
